NBA superstar James Harden once dated star Khloe Kardashian during her split with former NBA star Lamar Odom. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom married in 2009. However, the star couple faced many issues within their marriage. So Khloe filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.” During their split, the reality star met Harden, and they started seeing each other. However, in 2015, the relationship took a hit when Odom had an overdose.

Since Kardashian was still married to Odom, she was in charge of his medical decisions. She also halted the divorce until Odom made a full recovery the following year. Then in 2016, Harden and Kardashian broke up.

After this, Khloe was in a relationship with another NBA star, Tristan Thompson, for two years. In 2018, the couple had their first child, a daughter, True Thompson. But the couple split after revelations of Thompson cheating on Khloe.

However, Khloe and Thompson are now expecting a child through surrogacy. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is a fan of this news. As soon as Khloe and Thompson broke the news, Kourtney Kardashian unfollowed the Chicago Bulls Star on Instagram. Also, Kim Kardashian posted a cryptic message on her Instagram that read: “Girls can see the difference between 200 shades of nude lipstick but they can’t see red flags.”

Now, ex-husband, Lamar Odom has shared his opinion about it as well. “She could have hollered at me for that,” Odom, 42, joked while approached at La Belle Vie Med Spa in Woodland Hills, Calif, on Tuesday.
