NBA player Lamar Odom, who was married to Khloe Kardashian, calls his marriage to the reality tv star as the “the most memorable part and the best part of my adulthood.“
The 39-year-old, who nearly overdosed on drug in 2015 made the revelation in a chat with TMZ Live.
But Lamar has come a long way since then. Not only is he cleaned up, but he has also written a candid memoir titled, Darkness to Light.

The book doesn’t sugarcoat their relationship and it seems a mutual respect has outlived any hard feelings that might have existed between the ex-couple. Lamar now is also a motivational speaker with a company called MicDrop.
“Doing reality TV and being married to Khloe, besides having children and besides me doing this motivational speaking that I’m going to start doing, that was the most memorable part and the best part of my adulthood. So, there’s nothing I regret about that,” says Lamar.
“And, hopefully, me going to public speaking can even bring me closer to the Kardashians and help me rebuild that bridge.”
The public speaking Odom refers to is with a company called MicDrop, and Odom apparently finds his new pastime to have healing power.
“This is a great way for me to make up the time I lost with [my children] and help them get better as well,” Odom says of his motivational speaking work. “And, hopefully, me going to public speaking can even bring me closer to the Kardashians and help me rebuild that bridge.”
The couple had wedded on 27 September 2009 exactly one month after they met at a party for Odom’s teammate Metta World Peace. On 13 December 2013, after months of speculated separation, Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom. The divorce had yet to receive final approval from a judge in October 2015, when Odom was hospitalised after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. He was in a coma for four days; as he lay in a hospital, Kardashian withdrew her pending divorce petition. In an interview with People Magazine, Kardashian confirmed that they had not reconciled and the divorce had been withdrawn so that she could make medical decisions on Odom’s behalf. Kardashian and Odom’s divorce was finalised in December 2016.
