In a May 2019 interview with People, former NBA player Lamar Odom reflected on being unfaithful to his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, whom he was married to from 2009 to 2016.
“I wish I could have been more of a man,” he said. “It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with.”
In his new memoir, “Darkness to Light” (available on Amazon), he writes openly about his struggle with addiction. Despite Kardashian knowing about his infidelity, he confirmed to the magazine that she still stood by his side when he was hospitalized following a 2015 overdose.

“I remember waking up and her showing me pictures of my mother,” Odom, whose mother Cathy Mercer died of colon cancer when he was 12, said. “I was surprised on how quick she was to show her devotion to me.”
He continued, “Her love for me must have been unconditional. That’s the only thing [I think] that gave her the strength to still love me at that time.”
How much is Lamar Odom worth?
In November 2019, Lamar Odom got engaged to his girlfriend Sabrina Parr, a personal trainer. An American professional basketball player who won championships in 2009 and 2010, Lamar Odom’s net worth is approximately $30 million dollars.
Fiancée Sabrina Parr revealed to Hollywood Life that they are abstaining from sex until they are married.
“This is the first time in Lamar‘s entire life that he has been clean of drugs, marijuana, porn addiction, sex addiction. Him and I don’t even have sex, believe that or not,” Sabrina told the gossip website.

“Once Lamar got saved, he developed a relationship with a pastor and there’s a lot of things he just wants to grow, areas he wants to grow in, and things he wants to improve on as a man. And as a man, the pastor suggested to him, it’s not Godly if Christians like to have sex before marriage.”
She added, “And obviously he’s already had sex, so he couldn’t cut that out, but he said, ‘A great sacrifice to God would be to withhold from sex until you guys got married.’ And so, I think he really respects the pastor’s opinion and his voice.”
In September 2015, Khloé Kardashian had been dating James Harden for a couple of months. However, the reality star wasn’t over her ex-husband, Lamar Odom.
On the latest episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Khloé admitted to checking up on Lamar on a daily basis just to make sure he’s OK.

The then 31-year-old and her former beau finalized their divorce around the same time she started dating Harden, after sitting on the decision for about a year.
Khloé complained about her Blackberry being broken, stating that she needed it to work so she could contact someone. Her sister Kim Kardashian asked whose number she needed, and Khloé ended up admitting to her daily checkups.
