Khloe Kardashian seems to have a situation on her hands.
It involves two professional athletes, intense, unresolved feelings, and some good old-fashioned jealousy.
Yeah, it’s probably one of the biggest messes Khloe’s ever found herself in. Poor dear.
As we all know, Khloe’s divorce from Lamar Odom was finalized last month — three years after she originally filed.
The divorce took so long because Lamar refused to sign the papers for a long time, and after he overdosed in 2015, Khloe called the whole thing off so that she could make medical decisions for Lamar as his wife.
They were friendly for a while last year, but then it looked like Lamar was back on his downward spiral, so Khloe cut ties and filed for divorce once again.
Then — what a roller coaster this is, huh? — Lamar went to rehab in December to really get straightened out, once and for all.
After spending 35 days working on his issues, he left treatment and immediately did an in-depth interview, all about his drug use and his struggles.
And, wouldn’t you know it, the topic of Khloe came up.
“Honestly, I want my wife back,” he revealed.
He said that “When you’re doing drugs, you become distant to everything. Even your feelings, you become numb to everything.”
But still, he said, “Just to reinstate what we had as a family, it was important to me. Khloe is important to me.”
“She’s been through all this with me,” he continued. “She stood by my side. I just want to repay her.”
So that’s sweet, right? It’s a nice sentiment.
But Khloe’s current man, Tristan Thompson, disagrees.
According to a source who spoke with Life & Style, “Tristan went ballistic. He called Lamar and told him he acted foolishly, and he warned him to stay away from Khloe or else.”
The issue, however, is that Lamar “believes he still has a chance with Khloe.”
Yeah, here’s where it gets extra messy.
“Lam needs TT to know how madly in love he still is with Khloe and wants Tristan to understand that he and Khloe have unfinished business,” a source claims.
“Lam doesn’t want to disrespect what they have, but he thinks Tristan is just like James Harden and French Montana — a place holder in her life for when he returns.”
Meanwhile over on Tristan’s side, he “knows Khloe would never take back Lamar, but he is concerned that his girlfriend will fall for Lamar’s pity pleas and feel pressured to be there for him in case he goes off the rails again.”
“Tristan doesn’t want any drama in his life. Khloe is his woman, and there’s no way he’s going to allow anyone to get in the way of his relationship.”
So what’s going to happen? Is Khloe really Tristan’s woman? Is Tristan just a place holder for Lamar?
Only time (and lots of storylines on Keeping Up with the Kardashians) will tell.
