Khloé Kardashian Shares Heartbreaking Message on Ex Lamar Odom Being “Right Person, Wrong Time”

For Khloe Kardashian, her ex-husband Lamar Odom will always be the "right person, wrong time."

After all, that's exactly what she said following a fan's tearful reaction to the latest episode of The Kardashians, which saw her come come face-to-face with the former NBA player for the first time since their 2016 divorce.

"Why was this reunion so hard to watch," the fan wrote on TikTok. "You can tell he still loves her and regrets not having a family w her. This is the literal proof of right person, wrong time."

Khloe agreed, replying in the comments section, "Right person- wrong time for sure."

"So much of the 'what ifs' play," she continued. "This meeting was hard for us both. Maybe in different ways."

During their reunion, Khloe and Lamar discussed what went wrong in their seven-year marriage. For the reality star, Lamar continuing to take drugs even after his 2015 overdose was what ultimately led her to call it quits.

"I took you through a lot," he told Khloe during their heart-to-heart. "I love you for trying your hardest with me."

But for Khloe, the "words are empty."

"I don’t have a lot of emotions for this meeting," she admitted in a confessional. "I have dealt with so much trauma in this relationship. For years, this was such the love of my life that to learn how to unlove someone, to have to go through all that, it's almost like a death."

She continued, "I had to break contact with him because Lamar was repeating some of the same behaviors that I just couldn't stand for."

In E! News' exclusive look at the second part of their reunion, airing on Hulu Feb. 12, Khloe said she had to walk away after trying "countless times to save Lamar."

"I had to learn the hard way that I can’t save anyone in that position," she added. "I almost lost myself—and I probably did at some points—trying to save him."
