Khloe Kardashian Gives Update About Lamar Odom’s Condition: ‘He Has To Walk That Road By Himself’
Khloe Kardashian revealed to People magazine that she and Lamar Odom, despite calling off their divorce, are not back together, but she also gave the first official update about the former pro basketballer’s health.
The reality star, who said she’s been a “constant presence by his side” since he was hospitalized following an Oct. 13 overdose, said she’s optimistic, but Lamar’s health at the moment is very much day-to-day.
"The fact that he woke up was definitely a sigh of relief for everybody," she told People. "Every hour is different. It goes up and it goes down but he's awake.”
