Lamar Odom says he wants Khloe Kardashian back in cringe Celebrity Big Brother moment

Lamar Odom is still clinging on to the hope of one day being reconciled with ex-wife Khloe Kardashian and says he wished he could ‘take that time back’ during a cringe discussion on Celebrity Big Brother.

The 42-year-old former sportsman was married to 37-year-old Khloe from 2009 until 2016 – with their romance collapsing when Lamar struggled with drug addiction, was arrested for a DUI, and also collapsed while visiting a brothel near Las Vegas.

Lamar is now starring in the American version of Celebrity Big Brother where he had an incredibly awkward conversation with TikTok star Todrick Hall.

The 36-year-old dancer asked Lamar if he had an ex-wife – with the sportsman replying: “You don't know her?”

A confused Todrick then asked: “How many ex wives have you had?” – with Lamar solely stating: “Just one.”

The penny then dropped for Todrick who said: “Oh, so Khloe.”

Recalling his ex-wfie, Lamar then said: “Yeah. Just the one and the only.”

Asked if he is still in touch with his ex-wife, a pained Lamar replied: “Nah. I miss her so much. I wish I could take that time back.”

And reflecting on his failed marriage, he confirmed it lasted: “Four years. I miss her so much.”

Lamar’s wish to get time back with his ex-wife follows on from reports he wants the reality star to visit him while he is in the CBB house.

He told ET ahead of the show – which starts airing in the USA tonight: “Well, I’m hoping I’ll bump into Khloe Kardashian [in the house].

“I don’t really dislike or hate anybody, just anybody that doesn’t have a good spirit, anybody that’s not coming into the house with a good spirit.”

Meanwhile, a source close to the star has hinted Lamar wants to try to win back Khloe after she split from on-off boyfriend Tristan Thompson – with whom she shares a three-year-old daughter.

Khloe and 30-year-old Tristan split last year after a very tempestuous romance which seemingly saw him cheat on Khloe throughout their romance – with the star fathering a son last year, despite his initial denial of a pregnancy.

A source told HollywoodLife that Lamar is hoping he now has a chance to win back Khloe.

They said: "Lamar really wants a chance with Khloe again. He doesn't like Tristan and doesn't think he deserves Khloe. Lamar has turned his life around. He credits everything to God. He saved him."

The source continued: "He's really focused on keeping his circle small these days. He doesn't want bad people in his life ever again.

"He is confident he can be to guy Khloe always wanted him to be. Lamar is not the same person he was when he nearly died in 2015. He respects his ex, who was there for him through all that."
