Lamar Odom Says He Would Rekindle His Romance with Taraji P. Henson Over Khloe Kardashian

Things are getting steamy! Lamar Odom has just revealed which of his famous exes he would like to date again. 

The former basketball player has been in at least two very public high-profile relationships with some famous women. His first superstar ex is the Queen herself, Taraji P. Henson. The two dated in 2009, and he actually broke up with the Golden Globe-winning actress for Khloé Kardashian. 

The “Good American” founder and Odom were together from 2009-2013 when she filed for divorce. Their relationship was caught on cameras, and things moved quickly, very quickly when the pair married one month after meeting each other. 

Odom has revealed in the past how he feels terrible about how things ended with Henson and that he is an “immature punk” per a 2019 video, he mentioned the relationship’s ending. 

Though he expressed remorse for the way things ended with the actress, he sort of threw his other very famous ex under the bus. 

When Page Six asked him who he would instead get back together with, he responded Taraji P. Henson. 

“Because I love Taraji. It’s a love thing. It’s about who you love.” He added, “Taraji is a cool girl. Matter of fact, she’s here [in L.A.]. I got to see her at the BET Awards. So maybe I’ll get to shoot my shot at her again.” 

Henson hosted the 2022 BET Awards for the second time this past weekend. 

In an effort to compliment the actress, though, he threw shade at Khloé Kardashian in the interview when he said, “I think the difference between Taraji and Khloe is how they was brought up. Their upbringing, which makes people different and [affects] the way they think. I think Taraji is more skillful in what she does as an actress compared to what Khloé does.”

However, he did say that Khloé Kardashian was a “great wife.”
