RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES
Khloe and Lamar were married for four years before their marriage fell apart.
Over the years, Lamar has apologized to Khloe several times, causing many to wonder what happened during their relationship.
The ex-lovebirds tied the knot exactly one month after they met at a party for the athlete's teammate Metta Sandiford-Artest.
At first, the celebrity pair were on top of the world and even got their own reality series, Khloe & Lamar, which ran from 2011 to 2012.
However, their whirlwind romance ended in 2013 when the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum officially filed for divorce.
Their relationship ultimately fell apart due to Lamar's addiction struggles and rumored infidelity.
Speaking of his regret, Lamar told in 2019: "I wish I could have been more of a man. It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with."
In his memoir, he further detailed the breakdown of their marriage: "For a while, being with her was bliss, and I was the happiest I've ever been. We were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood, and we made more money together than we had individually."
MOVING ON
The pair's divorce was finalized in 2016, and Khloe moved on with Chicago Bulls alum Tristan Thompson, 31.
Khloe and Tristan share a 4-year-old daughter, True, and a 4-month-old son, though their romance fizzled after the Canada native had an affair with Maralee Nichols.
The 31-year-old fitness trainer gave birth to his son, Theo, in December of last year.
After news of the scandal broke, an insider disclosed to that Lamar "doesn't like Tristan and doesn't think he deserves Khloe."
And later, while promoting his stint on the third US season of Celebrity Big Brother, Lamar shared his hopes to reconnect with his ex-wife one day.
