During a heartfelt discussion on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, the reality star took a deep dive into her romantic journey, sharing insights and lessons learned from her high-profile breakups that have shaped her life and perspective on love.

In the podcast conversation, the founder of Good American candidly discussed her recent reunion with her ex-husband, which occurred a decade after their separation, a topic that was highlighted in the latest season of The Kardashians.

Khloé elaborated on how their paths crossed again after her best friend, Malika Haqq, and Odom reconnected at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. She also revealed that she had kept many of his belongings since their divorce in 2016, showing the emotional attachment that lingered between them.

“For years, I maintained a storage unit filled with all of his furniture, believing that one day he would want it back. Years before I had children, I reached a point where I realized that I didn’t need to hold onto that storage unit anymore. Through his friend, I decided to give him the storage keys so he could retrieve his belongings,” she shared, reflecting on her emotional journey.

“Later on, I discovered out that one of his friends sold everything that was in the unit without Lamar’s knowledge, and that broke my heart because I had held onto those items for so long,” she expressed, highlighting the emotional toll of the situation.

Khloé then recalled uncovering some of his personal effects during her move in the midst of the COVID pandemic. She mentioned that encountering these cherished memories made her reconsider the possibility of meeting him again, a decision she pondered for a few months before arriving at a conclusion.

“When Malika told me she had seen him, I mentioned, ‘This is so strange; I just found his mother’s driver’s license last week.’ She suggested that I should give it back to him, and I responded, ‘Let me think this over,’ highlighting the complexity of their past connection,” she conveyed.

“Seeing him was wonderful; however, it also brought sadness. It was heartbreaking to realize how much I had outgrown him, and that realization made me melancholic,” she shared, conveying her mixed emotions during their reunion.

Khloé reflected on the shared trauma she and Odom have navigated together, stating, “We have both experienced a lot of trauma together. I know he was one of the greatest loves of my life, but circumstances beyond our control took over.”

Odom’s infidelity and struggles with substance abuse during their marriage added layers of complexity to their relationship, which Khloé continues to process.

Despite the difficulties of their past, Khloé emphasized that her love for him remains unchanged. “I love Lamar with all my heart even today; I truly love him,” she expressed to Shetty, demonstrating her enduring affection.

In the podcast, Shetty probed Khloé on how she manages to take accountability while dealing with another’s actions, particularly referencing her tumultuous relationship with Tristan Thompson and the impact of his cheating scandals.

“The interesting part is, I believe the first time it happened, I didn’t take full responsibility,” she shared candidly. “And that’s okay because it’s in the past. I had to forgive myself for that. There was a time when I felt an immense amount of guilt, questioning why I even stayed and why I wasn’t forgiving myself. I found myself blaming myself for everything,” emphasizing the emotional struggle she faced.

Thompson’s cheating scandal in 2018, which occurred just before the birth of their daughter True, was compounded by subsequent betrayals, including his involvement with Jordyn Woods and fathering a child with another woman while Khloé was expecting their second child via surrogate.

Khloé expressed feelings of shame for remaining in the same situation multiple times with Thompson, illustrating the emotional toll of repeated betrayal.

“The second time, my surrogate was still pregnant with Tatum, and people didn’t know yet that I was having him. I felt such shame that it was happening again because I knew I should have known better,” she continued, sharing her internal conflict.

“I believe people also need to be patient with themselves. If you’re not feeling responsible for some of the actions you’re taking or what someone else is doing to you, that’s perfectly okay. There will come a day when you wake up and realize your worth,” she advised, sharing her wisdom gained from experience. “If I were watching myself in my 20s, I’d be judging that person too, thinking, ‘She’s so foolish; it will happen again,’” she added, reflecting on her growth.

“I don’t blame people for their judgment,” she concluded, emphasizing the challenge of navigating public scrutiny while healing from personal pain.

Khloé articulated the profound sense of isolation often associated with infidelity, yet she encouraged others to understand that everyone has their own healing process when faced with similar circumstances.

“Not that it’s right, but you have to let go when you genuinely feel ready. I strive to live my life with the belief that I am solid in my actions and decisions,” she affirmed, showcasing her commitment to personal growth.

Despite her challenges in love, Khloé remains optimistic about her future romantic endeavors, conveying a sense of hopefulness.

“People are often surprised that I’m not more cynical when it comes to love. They frequently ask, ‘Do you think you’ll ever get married again?’ I respond, ‘Yes, I hope to marry again!’ I believe marriage is one of the most beautiful unions, and I cherish the idea of family,” she expressed, revealing her unwavering belief in love’s potential.

“I feel like I’m happier now, especially regarding love, than I was five years ago. I’ve learned how to manage myself better. Previously, I gave my heart so freely, and while I love giving love, I’m now wiser about whom I share it with,” she noted, reflecting on her emotional evolution.
