Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom are keeping up once more.
And it’s playing out in front of the cameras. During the season six trailer for The Kardashians, many fans were surprised to see the former Los Angeles Lakers player make a surprise appearance. And he shared sight into how it all came to be.
“Me and Khloe have a mutual friend, her name is Malika [Haqq],” Lamar said during an interview on the Kyle & Jackie O Show Jan. 19. “I bumped into her in Las Vegas I think it was Super Bowl weekend. She came to me, and said, ‘You know Lamar, I think it’s time for you and Khloe…it’s been years. You haven’t seen her if you’re up for it. I think I could make it happen.’”
And make it happen they did, although the NBA alum admitted he was surprised the moment was caught on camera.
“I went there, and it was cameras there,” the 45-year-old said. “It’s cool I understand it.”
After all, Khloé, 40, and Lamar’s life together played out in front of the cameras—going back to their 2009 nuptials. While the Good American founder originally filed for divorce in 2013, following years of cheating scandals, she stopped the proceedings in 2015 after Lamar’s near-fatal drug overdose at a Nevada brothel. After his recovery, in 2016, the pair dissolved their marriage.
However, while they are now back in touch, Lamar quickly shut down the notion that they are rekindling their romance.
“I wouldn’t say back together,” he told hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O. “It would be a blessing to be her friend.”
And as for the option of getting back with his ex—who shares children True, 6, and Tatum, 2, with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson—Lamar revealed why it’s not an option.
“So much time has passed,” he continued. “And people change. I think it’s healthy sometimes to move on. In a healthy way. Like I said it would be a blessing to be her friend just to be around her.”
And as the Kardashians trailer teases, the reunion will be nothing short of emotional. While speaking in a confessional, Khloé proclaims “I think timing is everything,” before recounting the moment to her sister Kim Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner.
Lamar walks in the house holding a bouquet of flowers, before the camera cuts to Kris who is in tears as she says, “That was the love of her life.”
Khloé adds, “I don’t know this person anymore.”
Season six of The Kardashians is set to premiere on Hulu Feb. 6.

Kris Jenner
Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world's most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and "I just tried saying, 'You're beautiful. I'd love to get to know you,'" he shared on the family's OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "and it went from there."
Kourtney Kardashian
With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.
The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.
Kim Kardashian
As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, "Things change really quickly." When season two wrapped, the SKIMS founder was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.
She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn't on the hunt for a new teammate. "They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating," a source told E! News in May 2023. "Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story."
She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.
As a source told E!, Kim is "open to finding love again if she meets the right person."
Khloe Kardashian
In a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, "How's everything going with Tristan?" Safe to say the Good American founder has the basketball player benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they're back together in May 2023, calling the narrative "tiring."
She's more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, "I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?"
Kendall Jenner
Months after Kendall Jenner's split with NBA guard Devin Booker in fall 2022, the model's love life got an assist from friends Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star and musician Bad Bunny in February 2023. The following December, it was reported that the two had called it quits.
Kylie Jenner
Seems Kylie Jenner has found herself a new beautiful boy. Last seen publicly with rapper Travis Scott—dad to her daughter Stormi and son Aire—at an Art Basel party in December 2022, the beauty mogul, has been linked to Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet since April 2023. Now, rise and shine because you don't want to miss the glimpses they've given us of their romance at New York Fashion Week and the US Open, as well as live on TV, when they showed PDA while seated together at the 2024 Golden Globes and 2025 Oscars.
