As Lamar Odom continues to recover in the hospital, Khloé Kardashian has continued to be the rock in Lamar Odom’s raging storms. She has remained constantly at his side
Now in this interview with People Magazine, she speaks out for the first time on her reaction to the news about Lamar and everything since then..
When she received the shocking news that day, “All I knew was I had to get there,” Kardashian says exclusively in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. “I had to get to him and make sure he was okay. I hate that he was in that situation. I wouldn’t want anybody in that situation, especially someone I love and care about.”
On their divorce, Khloe says though it has been called off, she is definitely not getting back together with Lamar Odom, “There are too many other important things, too many medical things. It’s not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now.”
“I loved him always, and I will always love him,” she says. “I don’t believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don’t have to be with that person in order to love him.”
The Kardashians remain optimistic about Lamar’s condition “The fact that he woke up was definitely a sigh of relief for everybody,” she says. “Every hour is different. It goes up and it goes down but he’s awake. He’s alive and that’s all I wanted, was for him to be okay.” says Khloe
Lamar’s recovery process, though, is all in his hands even as her devotion remains strong, Khloe says “There is a very long road ahead of [Lamar],” she says. “He has to walk that road by himself, and, most importantly, he has to want to walk that road. I will be there supporting him every step of the way.”
