While Harden and Khloe’s romance ended after eight months, Harden has been very vocal about the break-up and has stated why it was the worst year of his life. Furthermore, he also mentioned the amount of attention and publicity that was taking place, which was the primary cause of the relationship ending.

Khloe Kardashian also expressed regret about their relationship, as she commented about the statement from her perspective.
