James Harden and Khloe Kardashian
Despite a reported rocky patch to their relationship when Khloe’s estranged husband Lamar Odom was hospitalised following a drugs overdose, Khloe and James seem to be going strong again.
Rumours that the duo were dating first started circulating in July 2015, and the pair were soon pictured attending various parties and family functions together. Although reality star Khloe has only ever posted one picture of the Houston Rockets player to her IG, she regularly attends his games and has confirmed the two are dating.
Speaking about this support during the Lamar crisis, Khloe told People magazine:
“[James] has been great with me and I’m just allowing everything to unfold.
“If it’s ever too overwhelming, [for him] then I understand that as well.
“I pulled back on the divorce [from Lamar] because there is no rush for it. For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold. But that doesn’t mean I’m back with Lamar. It’s not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship.”
