Lamar Odom Speaks On the Previous Relationship With Taraji P. Henson. |
Speaking about the relationship with the A-list Hollywood actor before he subtly met Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom described it as “happiest times in [his] life.”
“We ended up exchanging numbers. She was just such a wise woman that she could see through whatever smooth act I was trying to put on. She refused to be just another conquest, and truthfully, I didn’t want her to be. We started secretly dating and quickly fell in love.”
Their relationship lasted a few months before it ended due to infidelity.
“[Taraji] introduced me to her fourteen-year-old son, Marcel, and was at my house nearly every day. Sometimes she’d bring some of her Hollywood friends, like actress Sanaa Lathan. I don’t think I ever connected with another black woman as deeply as I did Taraji. Things were amazing, but of course, God gave me a layup and I blew it.”
Lamar’s book details his past addiction to drugs, depression and his subtle relationship with ex-girlfriend., Khloe Kardashian.
