KEY POINTS
- Lamar Odom threw shade at Tristan Thompson over the latter's multiple cheating scandals
- Odom jokingly said that Khloe Kardashian could have "hollered" at him if she wanted another child
- Kardashian's rep confirmed earlier this month that the reality star is expecting her second baby with Thompson via surrogate
Lamar Odom has shared his thoughts on ex-wife Khloe Kardashian expecting her second child, via surrogate, with Tristan Thompson.
In an exclusive video obtained by Page Six, the former Los Angeles Lakers player was approached by a reporter at La Belle Vie Med Spa in Woodland Hills, California, Tuesday and asked about his reaction to Kardashian's recent baby news.
"Well, are they gonna be together?" Odom asked the reporter, who responded, "I don't think so," before adding that the former couple's second child was planned before news of Thompson's latest cheating scandal broke.
"Oh, [Tristan] got caught cheating again? And they're gonna have another baby?" Odom said, before joking, "She could have hollered at me for that."
Earlier this month, the "Kardashians" star confirmed that she and Thompson are having a second baby together via surrogate. The former couple, who dated off and on from 2016 to 2021, already share 4-year-old daughter True.
A rep for Kardashian told Page Six in a statement that the baby was conceived in November last year. However, news broke in December last year that Thompson fathered a child with Maralee Nichols when he was still in a relationship with the former "Kocktails With Khloé" host.
Before dating Thompson, Kardashian was previously married to Odom from September 2009 to December 2016. She filed for divorce in 2013 but withdrew it after the former NBA player was hospitalized following a 2015 overdose. They finalized their split after his recovery.
Back in February, Odom hinted at wanting a second chance with Kardashian in an episode of "Celebrity Big Brother."
"When I married Khloé, there were so many things that I did wrong when it came to that relationship. If I could take it back, of course, I would take it back," he said during a candid confessional.
Odom expressed regrets over how his marriage with the Good American founder ended and acknowledged that he "didn't treat that good woman right." He added that if he were given another chance to be with Kardashian again, he would "know what to do and what not to do" now.
However, he seemingly shaded Kardashian during an interview with Page Six last month, in which he was asked which of his exes he would like to date again and chose Taraji P. Henson over the reality star.
"Because I love Taraji. It's a love thing. It's about who you love," Odom said. "Taraji is a cool girl. Matter of fact she's here [in L.A.]. I got to see her at the BET Awards in June. So maybe I'll get to shoot my shot at her again."
The former basketball player then compared his two exes, saying: "I think the difference between Taraji and Khloe is how they were brought up. Their upbringing, which makes people different and [affects] the way they think. I think Taraji is more skillful in what she does as an actress compared to what Khloe does."
But though he picked the "Empire" actress, Odom said Kardashian was "a great wife."
