Khloe Kardashian‘s ex-husband Lamar Odom has revealed their current relationship status, after his shock cameo on the season six trailer of The Kardashians.

The 40-year-old reality star — who recently talked about ’empathy’ following backlash for water usage amid the L.A. fires — was previously married to the former professional basketball player from 2009 until their divorce was finalized in 2016.

When the trailer for season six of The Kardashians dropped on Friday, fans were stunned to see Lamar and Khloe reunite onscreen.

Lamar arrived at Khloe’s Beverly Hills home with a bouquet of red roses, triggering an emotional showdown between the pair.

Now the NBA alum has revealed how the meeting between the two was brought about, adding that he had no idea beforehand that it would be filmed.

After days of swirling speculation, Lamar also disclosed where he and Khloe currently stand, in an appearance on The Kyle And Jackie O Show.

He was asked point blank if he and Khloe were back together, and replied: ‘I wouldn’t say back together,’ before adding: ‘It would be a blessing just to be her friend.’

Later in the interview, host Kyle Sandilands returned to the subject, asking of Lamar still loved Khloe and wanted to rekindle their relationship.

‘I think it’s healthy sometimes to move on, in a healthy way. Like I said, it’d be a blessing just to be her friend, just to be around her,’ he said.

Co-host Jackie Henderson then asked if Lamar has a girlfriend, to which he replied with an uncertain, protracted: ‘Um….’

He then clarified: ‘I have someone. I do have someone that’s dear to me. I’m not gonna name names. She knows who she is.’

Lamar also revealed how his latest meeting with Khloe came to be, sharing that the arrangements were made by their mutual friend Malika Haqq.

Several months ago, Lamar ‘bumped into’ Malika in Las Vegas, and she said: ‘You know, Lamar, I think it’s time for you and Khloe to – it’s been years, you haven’t seen her and if you’re up for it I think I can make it happen.’

He then arrived at Khloe’s home, bouquet in hand, only to discover ‘there was cameras there and it was like: “Oh, all right.”‘

The TV personality was previously married to the former professional basketball player from 2009 until their divorce was finalized in 2016

However he took a relaxed view of the situation, saying it was ‘cool’ for the encounter to be filmed and adding: ‘I understand it.’

The teaser for the upcoming season — which will premiere on February 6 — includes plenty of drama for fans, including Kim dishing about a new romance.

At one point, the reality star expressed in a confessional, ‘I honestly think timing is everything.’

Khloe could then be seen talking to sister Kim and mother Kris Jenner and revealed to the pair, ‘You guys are never going to believe who I met with.’

The SKIMS founder curiously asked, ‘Who?’ before the clip jumped to Lamar walking into a house while holding a bouquet of red roses.

Khloe Kardashian’s, 40, ex-husband Lamar Odom made a surprise cameo in the official season six trailer for Hulu’s The Kardashians which dropped on Friday

The trailer jumped to a confessional with Kris as she emotionally shared, ‘That was the love of her life.’

Khloe then can be heard sharing, ‘I don’t know this person anymore,’ although it is not known if she was specifically referencing to Odom.

In another snippet of Jenner’s confessional, she said tearfully that she was ‘devastated for her child.’

Khloe – who shares True, six, and Tatum, two, with ex Tristan Thompson – also told her family while raising her voice: ‘It’s the truth. The truth hurts one time. A lite hurts 7,000 times!’

The star and Odom first met in August 2009 and notably tied the knot just one month later in September during a lavish Beverly Hills ceremony.

In 2011, the former couple also starred in their own reality series titled Khloe & Lamar which aired for a total of two seasons.

After four years of marriage, Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar in 2013 when he was also embroiled in rumors of substance abuse issues.

A few years later in 2015 before their divorce was finalized, the TV personality notably rushed to Odom’s side when he was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after being found unconscious in a brothel.

Kardashian eventually called off the divorce and the pair spent time together following his hospitalization.

But in May 2016, Khloe filed for divorce once again with a source telling People at the time: ‘This was always the plan.’

‘The divorce has never been officially off. Khloe was waiting for the timing to be right,’ the insider added.

‘She was loyal for a long time and taking care of him, but she’s not a babysitter and needs to move on with her life.’ And seven months later, the divorce was finalized.

Late last year in November 2024, the sports star opened up about his relationship with his ex Khloe during an appearance on the We’re Out Of Time podcast, per E! News.

‘I don’t speak to her much,’ he admitted, but added, ‘She still cares about me. But I don’t speak to her. I can text her and she’ll reply.’

On the episode, Odom also admitted to buying a 𝑠e𝑥 doll that resembled Khloe. ‘When you’re really thinking about it, [it’s] like a doll.’

‘But then you think about like, mental health, and how important that is, not just in today’s time, but just from the beginning of time. A 𝑠e𝑥 doll that looks like your wife is about mental health.’

Khloe – who shares True, six, and Tatum, two, with ex Tristan Thompson – also told her family while raising her voice: ‘It’s the truth. The truth hurts one time. A lite hurts 7,000 times!’

Lamar then revealed, ‘It’s sick, but I think we’re all a little off, a little weird. They’re gonna make it to look like her. I need like, a harem.’

Months earlier in March, he also briefly talked about the split with E! News and shared, ‘I’m only speaking for myself, but it’d be hard to really forget somebody after you married them after 30 days.’

‘[It’s] probably impactful, you know, for the rest of your life — whether you stay with them or not.’

Also in the new trailer, Kim teased a new romance just as rumors swirl that she’s trying to keep her latest love under wraps.

The star opened up about her dating life — only eight months after parting ways with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.

‘I had the intention of staying single. I was fully lying to you guys,’ she confessed with a playful smirk in a confessional.

With her signature wit, she added, ‘Me not dating and not wanting love and attention? I don’t think you know me.’

In a separate scene, Kim blushes when she casually mentions, ‘I have a dinner with someone.’

‘I don’t speak to her much,’ he admitted, but added, ‘She still cares about me. But I don’t speak to her. I can text her and she’ll reply’; seen in 2012 in Century City

But it was her comment about building a ‘his closet’ that really had fans buzzing.

When her mom Kris Jenner quipped about the proposed construction, ‘You must REALLY like him,’ Kim responded with a sly grin, ‘He’ll be happy.’

This all comes just weeks after reports surfaced that Kim has been quietly courted by someone who’s decidedly off the celebrity radar.

A source for Us Weekly said that Kim ‘has started dating someone new’ and is ‘keeping it very under wraps.’

Kim is no stranger to a high profile romance as her dating history includes the aforementioned Odell, Pete Davidson, and a marriage to Kanye West, however, it is claimed that she may be doing something different this time around.

The insider said: ‘ She’s said the next person she dates will be someone who isn’t famous.

It has been said that since her most recent split, her main focus was not on dating but on her mogul and acting careers along with parenting.

Kim shares four children with her ex-husband Kanye West – North, 11, Saint, ten, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.

Back in March it was revealed that Kim and Odell had split – a year after they were romantically linked.

The latest trailer comes shortly after Khloe and her family were evacuated from their homes amid the Los Angeles wildfires last week when the Kenneth Fire ignited.

They were able to return to their homes when the evacuation orders were dropped – and Khloe soon shared her furious reaction to the arsonist who was arrested in connection to the blaze.

The reality star took to her social media once again to label L.A. mayor Karen Bass ‘a joke’ – and was soon slammed by fans over the comment.
