Lamar Odom

After one long year and seven months of constant speculation as to whether they would get back together again, Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom officially finalised their divorce.

Khloé, 31, and Lamar, 35, were married for four years but filed for divorce in December of 2013.

TMZ reports that according to court documents the pair signed legal documents to make the separation official on July 17. The decision to end their marriage was a long time coming. At one point a judge had threatened to dismiss the case as so much time had passed without any activity in the duo’s file.

Since their high-profile split, Lamar has largely been out of the public spotlight while rumours circulated he was struggling with drug and alcohol issues. He also has had to deal with the death of good friend Jamie Sangouthai, 37.  Then just one week later another of his friends Bobby Heyward also passed away.

According to Hollywood Life, Khloé has been supporting Lamar through the difficult time.

Khloé was apparently considering not going through with the divorce as recently as December 2014, after her relationship with rapper French Montana fizzled out.

Recently, she has been linked with basketball player James Harden. However, things between the pair may not be as good as Instagram would have us believe.

Hollywood Life is reporting that model Rochelle Relf, 23, is claiming that she and James were together after he and Khloé had taken their romantic Hawaii getaway.

“Khloé was with James in Hawaii, then he flew to Australia and spent the night with me. He was charming, affectionate – he asked me to visit him in America and told me he was a single guy,” Rochelle told New Idea.

“He kept checking I was single and asked if a boyfriend would come bursting through the door looking for me.” 

Not exactly what we wanted to hear about Khloé’s new BF, but she will no doubt have something to say about those rumours.

Let's face it – her transformation has been pretty dramatic – not to mention hugely impressive.

After years of being taunted as the "fat, ugly Kardashian sister," Khloe is definitely in the best shape of her life. 

She's shed a load of weight for one, but she also looks incredibly fit, toned and healthy.

And while the 31-year-old has previously opened up about her new-found love of exercise in the aftermath of the collapse of her marriage to Lamar Odom, she's now revealed her one, key diet secret.

Speaking to Sydney radio hosts Ryan Fitzgerald and Michael Wipfli on their breakfast show this morning, the reality TV star explained: "I made major cut-backs. I used to love soda, so I've cut out soda completely and I drink like ice tea or water."

She added: "I made that like a lifestyle change. If you do one thing a month and you cut something off little by little and then it just becomes a part of your life."

Khloe, who now seems to be dating another basketball pro – James Harden – also stated to say that she hates the word "diet".

"I don't believe in diets. I believe in lifestyle changes."

As for her fitspiration, she says she strives to be just like Beyonce, although when it comes to hair and makeup, she's surprisingly low-key.

In fact, Ms Kardashian says while she and her sisters have "hair and makeup people when we are filming," she definitely doesn't have a beauty team with her every day.

"I'm a pro at doing my own makeup but I do not know how to do my own hair," she said, explaining that her hair is too curly to manage on her own.

Still (and despite the fact she goes to the gym all the time), she makes one look last – wearing the same style for three days straight.

"I just won't wash my hair. I know how to fake it until I make it," she laughed.

SHEmazing! has been following their burgeoning romance with interest for weeks now. 

And, following their very PDA in Las Vegas last weekend, it seems that Khloe Kardashian and basketball pro James Harden are taking their relationship to the next level.

Yes, clearly things are pretty serious between the pair, because they've just made their union Instagram official. 

In an image posted to the KUWTK star's profile, 29-year-old Khloe can be seen snuggling up to 26-year-old James.

They are flanked on either side by Nichelle and Aaron Hines, the athletic stars of E!'s brand new Hollywood Cycle

Khloe, who has been a part of the E! group since her own family's reality TV offering began in 2007, was there to take part in a class for the show, as was James.

Certainly, it appears that Ms Karashian's rumoured reunion with estranged husband Lamar Odom, as well as Mr Harden's fledging romance with model Amber Rose, are both on hold for the foreseeable future.

Amber – a former long-term love of Kanye West, now Khloe's brother-in-law – dated the 6ft 5in Houston Rockets player earlier this year after meeting her in Las Vegas.

Three weeks ago, SHEmazing! reported that Khloe Kardashian had hooked up with a new man while in Hawaii: namely professional basketball player James Harden.

And it seems that the duo have continued to see each other following their holiday romance. 

Partying in Las Vegas for the July 4 celebrations, they dined at Red 8, a popular Asian restaurant at the Wynn Hotel.

The eatery is well-known for its top-class Cantonese noodle dishes and Hong Kong-style barbecue and often attracts a celeb-heavy crowd.

Afterwards, they hit Drai's nightclub, where Chris Brown was playing. 

TMZ has pictures of Khloe, 31, and James, 25, together. It furthermore reports that sources in Vegas can confirm that they looked very much like a couple, even "snuggling side by side" during their meal. 

The Daily Beast also says that the reality TV star was seen this weekend at the city's Encore Beach Club cosying up to the 6ft 5in Houston Rockets player.

Still, their relationship might not be plain-sailing: Mr Harden and Amber Rose – a Kardashian nemesis – have serious history together. 

James was thought to be dating Amber – the former fiancee of Kanye West, now Khloe's brother-in-law – earlier this year after meeting her in Las Vegas. 

The model even admitted to having a "special friendship" with the athlete during a recent radio interview. 

Of course, Ms Kardashian is also still not divorced from husband Lamar Odom, despite splitting from him more than 18months ago.

Indeed, their divorce proceedings have seemingly stalled entirely, with neither side taking action to finally formalise their separation.

It’s been a tough number of weeks for reality TV star Khloe Kardashian after the shocking death of ex-husband Lamar Odom’s friend Jamie Sangouthai.

Today though, things were kept nice and positive as family, friends and fans wished the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star a happy birthday. Khloe, the second youngest daughter of mom Kris Jenner and her ex-husband Robert Kardashian turns 31 today.

Momager Kris Jenner took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message on her daughter’s birthday.

The proud mom refers to Khloe as “an amazing spirit” and a “beautiful angel”.

Kris captioned the image with, "I thank God every single day that I am so blessed to have you as my daughter. You are constantly inspiring me and showing me how to live a more enriched meaningful life.”

We’re not crying, there’s just some dust in our eyes, we swear!

After the dramatic year that the star has been through we imagine that the sweet gesture from her mom was well received.

In February of this year reports emerged that the reality TV star had decided not to finalize her divorce to Lamar Odom. Instead it’s been rumoured that since the death of his friend, Khloéhas been a huge support for her ex.

Her family have always been her support system and Khloé took to Instagram earlier today to show off the sweet present her nieces shared with her for her birthday.

It looks like Khloé definitely is the favourite aunt.

Last year certainly wasn’t all negative as besides spending plenty of time in the gym working on her fitness and playing favourite aunt to her nieces and nephews, Khloé was also on hand when brother-in-law Kanye West performed a rare free concert in her family’s ancestral Armenia.

Not too shabby!

Just a week ago, former professional basketball player Lamar Odom awoke to tragic news: his best friend Jamie Sangouthai had died from drug-related activity. 

The news devastated him and his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian – who even missed her niece North West's second birthday party due to the tragedy. 

However, it has now emerged that further sadness has befallen the duo: another close friend of Lamar's, Bobby Heyward , died on Saturday. Initial reports also suggest that drugs were responsible. He was aged 30.

Just four days ago, Bobby had paid tribute to Jamie on Instagram. In what would be his last post before his death, he said: "#RIP To my big brother Jamie who always brought light into any room he walked into."

He also included the hashtag #BandOfBrothers. The accompanying image shows Jamie and Bobby together, along with Lamar.

A source tells Us Weekly that Odom is now "beside himself" and that he remained close to Mr Heyward right up until his death.

Bobby also made contact with Khloe last week shortly after Jamie died. He was apparently keen to offer his support: the 30-year-old reality TV star is said to have taken the news particularly badly.

Jamie, a former classmate of Mr Odom, appeared several times on episodes of Khloe & Lamar, a Keeping Up With Kardashians spin-off which aired for two series in 2011 and 2012.

He also acted as a best man at the Odom-Kardashian wedding in September 2009.

The youngest member of the Kardashian clan, little North West, celebrated her second birthday in style over the weekend. Proud mum Kim Kardashian went all out for the big day, inviting a large group of family and close friends for an all-day bash at Disneyland in Los Angeles, but one family member missed out on the big day.

A large chunk of the Kardashian-Jenner family were in attendance, from eldest sister Kourtney and her children to Kendall, Kylie and even Kylie's boyfriend Tyga who brought along his toddler son.

However one glaring absence was North's doting auntie Khloé, who was nowhere to be seen on the day. Given that the sisters are so close-knit, many wondered why Khloé had chosen to give the party a miss.

Now though, it's been revealed that Khloé was "too upset" to attend the event, having just heard about the unexpected death of Jamie Sangouthai, who she knew closely through her estranged husband Lamar Odom.

"Khloé was too upset over Jamie dying. She wasn't there," a source told E! News this week.

Although Jamie is widely believed to have been a key factor in Lamar's drug addiction issues – which eventually led to the breakdown of his marriage to Khloé back in 2013 – he was still a valued friend of both, and his death by overdose on Sunday hit them hard.

Having cut Jamie off shortly before his death, Lamar is said to be "beating himself up" over what happened, so it's no surprise that Khloé felt equally at a loss. The reality star tweeted her devastation on Sunday night, writing, "when does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai."

Khloé was one of the first to confirm Sunday's tragic news via Twitter, and has remained quiet on social media since.

Lamar Odom is said to be struggling hugely in the aftermath of his best friend Jamie Sangouthai's death.

The 37-year-old died two days ago, apparently from a heroin overdose. 

Also weighing heavily on Lamar's mind is a decision he made shortly before Jamie's death – namely that he cut him off following a falling out, seemingly over the latter's continued drug-use.

Understandably, the former basketball player now deeply regrets the animosity that existed between the pair.

“Lamar is beating himself up over Jamie’s death. They had a big falling out not too long ago and Lamar cut him off completely. 

"Lamar thought it was for the best, as Jamie was really struggling and looking for enablers. Now, Lamar doesn’t know if he made the right decision,” a source told HollywoodLife.com.

The estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian is trying to make amends by offering as much support as he can to Jamie’s family.

“He really loved Jamie and has reached out to his family to lend his support. Lamar is going to pay for everything — the funeral, any flights, and hotels that the family needs,” the same source added.

Jamie, who often appeared in the KUWTK spin-off show Khloe & Lamar, was rushed to hospital on June 14 and later died there of an apparent heroin overdose.

It has also been reported that the unexpected death has forced Ms Kardashian, 30, and Mr Odom to rethink their relationship and reevaluate the future. Although she was seen getting close to James Harden over the weekend, Khloe is said to be offering as much care and support as she can to her husband during this difficult time.

She seems to have stalled her impending divorce from estranged husband Lamar Odom.

​However, and following an on/off romance with French Montana in 2014, Khloe Kardashian has supposedly hooked up with another incredibly tall professional basketball player.

The reality TV star recently enjoyed a sun-soaked trip to Hawaii. There, according to US reports, she met 25-year-old James Harden – the 6ft 5in Houston Rockets star – while partying at Addiction nightclub.

Indeed, feed-back from fellow revellers suggests that while the famous duo made sure to leave the venue separately, they later spent the night together too.

Earlier this year, it was thought that James was dating Amber Rose, the former fiancee of Kanye West – now Khloe's brother-in-law.

Amber Rose even admitted to having a "special friendship" with the athlete during a recent radio interview. 

Meanwhile, he's also been dating dating Sarah Vivan, who has a child with rapper Lil Wayne.

Khloe's frustrated sister, Kim, 34, recently questioned the status of her relationship with Lamar.

During an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which aired earlier this month, the wife of rapper Kanye West confronted her upon realising she was in regular contact with her estranged husband.

"Is that Lamar?" Kim asks when to walks into the kitchen and finds her younger sister on the phone. "So you’re like flirting with him and called of your whole divorce? I just can’t take it."

However, the response was cutting: "Well, good you don’t have to!"

Yesterday, 30-year-old Khloe posted a picture to Instagram which showed her and her BFF Malika Haqq in Hawaii.

"Hawaii, you were great to us! Thank you for the memories.

"Beyond blessed and I thank God everyday for granting these beautiful blessings upon me. Life is good but even better when you experience it with fantastic people."

Earlier today, Khloe received the sad news that Jamie Sangouthai, a close friend of Lamar's, had died, reportedly of a heroin overdose.

Tributes were pouring in via social media last night after news emerged that Jamie Sangouthai, a close friend of Lamar Odom, had passed away.

Jamie reportedly died on Sunday in hospital after a heroin overdose. 

Although many believe the 37-year-old was a key player in the drug addiction issues that ended Lamar's marriage to Khloe Kardashian, the reality star herself took to Twitter last night to share her devastation at the shocking news.

"When does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai," she wrote, followed by a series of broken heart and sad face emojis.

This morning she posted to Instagram to remind fans that life "doesn't get easier but I promise you that life will make you stronger."

Jamie will be known to viewers of Khloé and Lamar's ill-fated reality show, Khloé & Lamar, having appeared on both seasons as well as living next door to the couple during the show.

Khloé's longtime best friend Mailka Haqq also shared a touching tribute to Jamie via Instagram, posting a throwback picture of herself, Khloé, Lamar and Jamie in happier times:

Although Lamar himself has yet to make any public statement, sources close to the former NBA player say he has taken Jamie's death extremely hard.

"Lamar is beside himself. This is the worst tragedy," one insider told Us Weekly last night, with another source adding that the pair were "like brothers".

Our thoughts are with those close to Jamie at this hard time.

A permanent split seemed unavoidable 18months ago: Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband of four years citing “irreparable differences”.

At the time, Lamar Odom, 35, was at the centre of infidelity claims, as well as accusations of a serious addiction to crack cocaine.

However, the former professional basketball player yesterday confessed to waiting photographers in Santa Monica that he believes a reunion with his wife is possible.

He added that Ms Kardashian is still “his girl,” quietly stating: “That’s my wife.”

TMZ has the exclusive footage of Lamar’s revelation.

While married, 30-year-old Khloe struggled to become pregnant; an ordeal that was well-documented during the filming of their spin-off reality TV show Khloe & Lamar.

The couple, who exchanged vows in September 2009 less than a month after meeting, had signed an iron-clad pre-nup in advance, and her friends and family had very much expected a quick and easy parting.

However, two months after Khloe’s move to dissolve their union, Mr Odom was seen wearing his diamond-encrusted wedding band en route to catch a flight to Spain from LA.

And neither has taken any action to move the necessary paperwork along for more than a year.

Indeed, it has been reported that a Californian judge is threatening to dismiss their application because it has become stagnant.

Last year, Khloe had an on-off relationship with rapper French Montana, but appears to be now single.

A year ago she moved out of the marital home and into a €6.5m Spanish-style villa in Calabasas – a home she bought from Justin Bieber. 

Meanwhile, Lamar has recently been dating a former flame, Lara Manoukian – a relationship which is said to have deeply upset his estranged wife.

She first found fame at the age of 24 on the reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians – and since then, her weight-battles have been well-documented.

But now, and aged 30, Khloe Kardashian has certainly put to bed the fat jibes she cruelly endured during her time in the spotlight.

Posting a picture on her Instagram account earlier today, the star showed off the results of her healthy-eating regime and strict exercise schedule.

Also pictured in the snap is Mary Phillips, the makeup artist who also counts the likes of Jennifer Lopez among her clients, and hair-guru Cesar DeLeon Ramirez. The shoot was styled by Monica Rose, who styles all of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, as well as A-listers including Giuliana Ranic and Gigi Hadid.

Khloe recently revealed that she was prompted to overhaul her diet when she and her estranged husband Lamar Odom began to experience marital problems.

“When me and Lamar were having issues, I decided to channel my energy into working out,” she told Cosmo Body. “The gym was my only refuge.”

The pair had married in September 2009 just a month after meeting, and Khloe filed for divorce in December 2013. However, they remain legally married and neither has signed the necessary paperwork to dissolve their union.
