In the latest issue of People Magazine, Khloé Kardashian spoke on why her marriage to Lamar Odom crumbled and shared an excerpt about her failed union from her new book “Strong Looks Better Naked.”
It has been a tumultuous few years for the reality star and these past few weeks dealing with the hospitalization of her husband Lamar Odom have not made it any easier working through their relationship.
The 31-year-old Kardashian and the basketball star married back in 2009 after getting engaged after just nine days of knowing one another.
A few years later, the couple’s marriage struggles became public knowledge with rumors of Lamar’s drug use and infidelity at the center of it all.

“I don’t think what happened was anything intentional or that Lamar was being malicious,” Khloé said in her new book. “I don’t believe in airing other people’s dirty laundry, especially when you love someone.”

“If you asked me a year before, I would have never said I was going to get a divorce. I never wanted it to end. But I know I did everything I could. Divorce was my last option,” Khloé shared in the excerpt. “But I would rather have had our marriage for that limited time than to never have had it at all. It was the most magical special time in my life, and I know what we had was really rare.” What do you think about Khloé and Lamar’s marriage? Let us know in the comment section below.
