Khloe Kardashian has put the “trauma” of her Lamar Odom marriage behind her … but her ex-husband hasn’t, and it was abundantly clear during their recent reunion.
The Good American founder and the former NBA star reunited on the season 6 premiere of “The Kardashians” last night, where they walked down memory lane and reconnected for the first time in 9 years.
While there were plenty of sweet moments between the former flames, the tension was certainly palpable, with Lamar looking particularly nervous throughout most of the sit-down.
Khloe, however, explained she wasn’t as rattled, even when Lamar still referred to her as his “wife” … given she had already processed their breakup “like a death.”
She noted … “I have dealt with so much trauma in this relationship for years and this was such the love of my life that to learn how to unlove someone — to have to go through all that — it’s almost like a death.”
As Khloe put it … she and Lamar had some incredible moments in their 7-year marriage, but she said the bad times were beyond “horrific.”
This was why Khloe had empathy for Lamar’s nerves, as she realized her presence likely reminded him “of a dark time” … and that a lot of “uncomfortable memories and feelings” came up during the meeting.
As you know, Khloe and Lamar married in 2009 after knowing each other for only about a month. The pair went on to document their love story in the E! series, “Khloé & Lamar” … but the show was short-lived, as the duo split in 2013 over Lamar’s infidelity and drug use.

Khloe notably halted their divorce proceedings in 2015, however, when Lamar was hospitalized in a coma after overdosing in a Nevada brothel.
The estranged spouses didn’t romantically reconcile, though … Khloe just stepped in to make medical decisions on behalf of Lamar. They finalized their divorce in 2016 and didn’t look back … that is, until now.
