Looks like Lamar Odom might want that old thing back! The former NBA star spoke with pagesix and said he would choose to date Taraji P. Henson over Khloe Kardashian. Lamar said the reason he would go back to her is “because I love Taraji. It’s a love thing. It’s about who you love.”
Odom and Henson previously dated in 2009, before he married the reality star Khloe Kardashian. “Taraji is a cool girl. Matter fact she’s here [in LA]. I got to see her at the BET Awards in June. So maybe I’ll get to shoot my shot at her again,” he said.
He added later, “I think the difference between Taraji and Khloe is how they was brought up. Their upbringing, which makes people different and [affects] the way they think. I think Taraji is more skillful in what she does as an actress compared to what Khloé does.”
Odom and Kardashian — who tied the knot one month after meeting each other — had a famously rocky relationship, during which the L.A. Lakers player was cheating on her and using drugs. The ups and downs of their romance played out on the couple’s former reality series, Khloé & Lamar, which lasted for two seasons. The pair split in 2013, but didn’t finalize their divorce until three years later. In 2015, the Good American founder flew to be by her ex’s side as he fought for his life in a Nevada hospital following a near-fatal overdose.
“When I came out of the coma, she took care of me. I’m talking about a woman that wiped my backside when I couldn’t do it myself,” Odom expressed to Us Weekly back in February about Kardashian’s care for him in the hospital. “So, I’m fond of her for that. She had a lot of dignity and pride as well as I did.”
Aww go back to Lamar Odom at least when he cheated it was because he had a disease but he truly did love you you got with tristan when he had a girlfriend how did you really think this was going to turn out??? Karma sucks!!! But you are the only kardashian I like

During his short time on the show Celebrity Big Brother, he expressed that he still misses Khloe. “I miss her so much. I wish I could take that time back,” he said on the show in February, telling Us that same month that “she’ll always have a place in my heart.”
