Khloé Kardashian Gives First Interview Since Lamar Odom Drama, Says They Aren't Getting Back Together

 

Khloé Kardashian speaks out of the first time about Lamar’s hospitalization.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom called off their divorce in light of his health crisis, but she says they are not back together.

“There are too many other important things, too many medical things,” she told People magazine in her first interview since Odom’s Oct. 13 hospitalization. “It’s not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now.”

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who reportedly ended her relationship with another NBA-er, James Harden, to devote her time to helping Odom recover, continued, “I loved him always, and I will always love him. I don’t believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don’t have to be with that person in order to love him." 

Khloé, 31, opened up to the magazine about what ran through her mind when her estranged husband, whom she was in the process of divorcing, was found unconscious, foaming at the mouth, and bleeding from the nose at a Nevada brothel. 

"All I knew was I had to get there,” she told the mag. “I had to get to him and make sure he was okay. I hate that he was in that situation. I wouldn’t want anybody in that situation, especially someone I love and care about." 

While each day brings new, often dreary headlines about Odom’s health — including that he may need a kidney transplant — the blonde is hopeful that he will make a full recovery. 

"The fact that he woke up was definitely a sigh of relief for everybody,” said Khloé, who has remained by his side throughout most of the ordeal except to attend her big sister Kim’s baby shower and to get a hair makeover. “Every hour is different. It goes up and it goes down but he’s awake. He’s alive and that’s all I wanted, was for him to be okay." 

It’s been rumored that Khloé has laid down the law to him, telling him absolutely no more drug use or she’s out of there. However, her approach sounds much more loving. 

"There is a very long road ahead of [Lamar],” she said. “He has to walk that road by himself, and, most importantly, he has to want to walk that road. I will be there supporting him every step of the way.”

It sounds very Khloé. That’s why she’s the favorite Kardashian sister.
