Khloe Kardashian called off her divorce to Lamar Odom—but not for romantic reasons. Lamar faces a long road to recovery ahead, and in a legal sense, Khloe is able to support him and help with medical decisions if they’re still technically married.
But as the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star explained, getting back together isn’t even something they’re considering at this point in time. Also, Khloe and boyfriend James Harden are 100 percent still together.
But Khloe has “always loved” Lamar, she said, “and that will never change”—even if she’s seeing someone else romantically. Plus, she added, “I just feel like its a really insensitive thing to fast forward a divorce. ”
“I love him, and I always will,” she continued, “and he’s a fantastic person who deserves support and love and for someone to be by his side and for me I’m that to him. And thank God I have a fantastic family who loves me and loves him just as much. And they’re so supportive and they’re with me and I have a great boyfriend who’s understanding.”
Ellen agreed, and then Khloe added jokingly, “I’m just gonna say I’m like part of Polygamy right now! I have a husband. I have a boyfriend. That’s a way easier thing to say, right?”
“Oh,” said Khloe, “I’m not there yet!”
“No,” Ellen answered. “You’d have to marry your boyfriend in order to be a polygamist.”
She is admirable in coming to Lamar’s aid, who is still her husband, in his time of desperate need, and for loving him still. As to her boyfriend, perhaps, in my opinion, she should go slowly and allow herself to do some evaluation of all that’s going on, instead of going headlong at once. But, ultimately, it’s her call.
