The Current Friendship Status of Lamar Odom and Rob Kardashian Following Khloe’s Divorce
Lamar Odom
will always keep up with the Kardashians.
Particularly when it comes to
Rob Kardashian
,
who the retired basketball player forged a deep friendship with during his marriage to
Khloe Kardashian
. Even years after finalizing his divorce from Khloe, Lamar still considers Rob to be like his brother.
“I don’t have any siblings,” Lamar said in an exclusive interview with E! News’
Francesca Amiker. “It was cool to me to have somebody come in my life and play that role. I learned from it.”
In fact, Los Angeles Lakers alum recently sent some love to Rob—who has largely stayed out of the spotlight since becoming dad to 7-year-old daughter
Dream Kardashian
—when the former reality star celebrated his 37th birthday.
“Once a family, always a family,” Lamar noted, explaining how his grandmother
Mildred Mercer raised him with an “old school” mindset. “The past is the past.”
While Lamar said he hasn’t seen Rob in years, he wishes nothing but the best for him. As the 44-year-old put it, “We’re always going to be family.”
His well-wishes also extend to Khloe and her kids
