Khlo\u00e9 and Lamar was led very much by Lamar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was spread really thin. I also didn\u2019t really want it to jeopardize the family brand, which was Keeping Up at the time. I thought there were so many Kardashian shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the time, there had been two spin-off series, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, and Kourtney and Kim Take New York.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: \u201cAnd I reminded him about his main career, the Lakers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Lamar wasn&#8217;t worried about attracting attention for something more than his sporting career.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cWe winded up having our own show, and it came on Sunday, which was right after the Laker game. I was on TV twice every Sunday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWell, part of the deal was that, \u2018If I\u2018m gonna marry you, f*** it. I want in too.\u2019 &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m already Lamar Odom, and I\u2019m just watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I\u2019m like, \u2018I know this is where I wanna be.\u2019 Like, \u2018This is how I wanna live.\u2019 \u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said it felt like a &#8220;power trip&#8221; and pushed to combine &#8220;Laker power&#8221; with &#8220;Kardashian power&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, he added: \u201cBut I wasn\u2019t really ready for all that power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe former couple married in 2009 just weeks after meeting, and Khloe &#8211; who went on to have True, seven, and three-year-old Tatum with now ex-partner Tristan Thompson &#8211;  previously admitted Lamar will always be the love of her life, but his addictions meant their relationship wasn&#8217;t &#8220;fixable.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking on The Kardashians, she explained: &#8220;Lamar was, and is, definitely someone that I was like, the love of my life. I got married when I was 24 and although him and I got married 30 days to the day after meeting one another, I loved him with all of my heart and soul.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I took my vows very seriously and I was married for about seven years, but there were bigger things that were not fixable in that marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I don\u2019t know if I could even put into words what I felt for Lamar. It felt like the most special, magical time of my life \u2014 the most purest love I\u2019ve ever had. And although there was so much darkness in that marriage, there was the brightest of the bright times. And I love it and I cherish it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/khloe-kardashian-feared-lamar-odom-reality-show-jeopardise-family-brand-1439677.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 March 2026 Khloe Kardashian feared Khloe and Lamar could &#8220;jeopardise the family brand&#8221;.
