What is Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom's relationship like?

Khloé and Lamar tied the knot exactly one month after they met at a party for Lamar's teammate Metta Sandiford-Artest.

At first, the celebrity pair were on top of the world and even got their own reality series, Khloé & Lamar, which ran from 2011 to 2012.

However, their whirlwind romance quickly came to an end in 2013, when the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star officially filed for divorce.

Their relationship ultimately fell apart due to Lamar's addiction struggles and rumored infidelity.

Over the years, Lamar has apologized to Khloé several times causing many to wonder what happened during their relationship.

Speaking of his regret, Lamar told PEOPLE in 2019: "I wish I could have been more of a man. It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with."

In his memoir, he went on to further detail the breakdown of their marriage, writing: "For a while, being with her was bliss and I was the happiest I've ever been. We were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood and we made more money together than we had individually."

While Khloé might have filed for divorce in 2013, it was not finalized until December 2016.

What happened to Lamar Odom?

In October 2015, Lamar was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after suffering an accidental overdose at the Love Ranch brothel and Khloé remained by his side while he was in a coma for four days.

At the time, she withdrew her pending divorce petition but revealed that the decision was made only so that she could make medical decisions on Lamar's behalf.

"He OD’d during the divorce and I was his next of kin, even though it was still, the divorce was still - it was on the judge’s desk," she said on the Divorce Sucks With Laura Wasser podcast.

"It was like two years, or like a year or two of us trying to get the divorce going and then this happened."

She continued: "And then we paused the divorce, not for any romantic reasons but I wanted to be able to help take care of him and make sure that he would be OK again."

After the overdose, Lamar entered rehab and later celebrated 5 years of sobriety in 2021.

"I went to rehab and did some other things, but ketamine came into my life at the right time," Lamar told Steve Osunsami in May 2021, via E! News.

"I'm feeling amazing. I'm alive, sober, and happy."

Lamar talked about his success and struggles in the memoir Darkness to Light, and in the documentary, Lamar Odom Re/Born.
