Lamar Odom has recently made headlines for his surprising purchase of a custom sex doll modeled after his ex-wife, Khloé Kardashian. The former NBA star visited the RealDoll facility in Las Vegas after discovering the dolls in a news segment about a month ago. Odom’s manager, Gina Rodriguez, revealed to TMZ that he felt an immediate need to acquire one for himself.
In videos and images released by the outlet, Odom appeared in good spirits, interacting playfully with several life-size dolls, noting one with pronounced features as “bad.” The retired athlete specifically requested his custom doll to embody Khloé’s voluptuous figure and facial likeness. Odom is said to have paid between $8,000 and $20,000 for the doll, although reports suggest he received a discount.
Fans of the reality star couple will recall that Odom and Kardashian were married from 2009 until their separation in 2013. Their relationship faced difficulties rooted in infidelity and Odom’s struggles with a sex addiction. Reflecting on their turbulent past, Odom shared in his 2019 memoir, “Darkness to Light,” how the stresses of fame, drug dependency, and personal issues contributed to his infidelities during their marriage.
Despite the couple’s complex history, Odom has been candid about his regrets, stating that he wishes he could have better handled his commitments during that time. The love Khloé showed him during his most challenging moments, including a near-fatal overdose in 2015, was described by Odom as “unconditional.”
Since their split, Odom was linked romantically to Sabrina Parr for about a year but has remained single publicly since then. On the other hand, Kardashian has been in a long-term relationship with Tristan Thompson, which also faced its share of controversies.
The recent revelation about Odom’s custom doll purchase has sparked conversations about celebrity relationships and the intricacies of past love. Both he and Kardashian have moved on since their separation, but Odom’s latest venture adds another layer to their storied past.
