The former Los Angeles Laker and two-time NBA champion, Lamar Odom, is in the news for a slightly unconventional reason as he orders a sex doll that looks like Khloe Kardashian, his ex-wife who divorced him in 2016.
The 45-year-old headed to the RealDolls factory in Las Vegas on November 5 to observe some of the artificial silicon women used for pleasure, as well as some of the male alternatives, in a hands-on experience to test their authenticity.
Odom is spotted in a video squeezing one of their breasts as well as testing their leg movement and their hands to judge how close they are to the experience of an actual woman as his interest in the sex dolls continues to develop.
According to TMZ, the ex-Miami Heat player is in town for his birthday and figured that could be an early treat for himself as they report that he has already commissioned a personal one, which retails for between $8000-$20,000 and it could be delivered as soon as New Years Eve.
The outlet further reports that he wants his doll to be curvy and had the face modelled on that of Kardashian, despite them being divorced for almost a decade, after they began a relationship in 2009.
Is there a chance for Odom and Kardashian to get back together?
Issues with substance abuse and alcohol addiction as well as adultery caused their marriage to collapse, resulting in their divorce at the end of 2016, although it seems Kardashian had actually left him in 2013.
Since then, the 40-year-old reality TV star has clearly moved on as she went on to start a relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson in 2016, which lasted for five years until 2021 and produced a child in 2022.
Meanwhile, Odom had started dating a health and lifestyle coach in 2019 and got engaged in 2020 before the pair called off their engagement as he said he has to “work through some things”, and since then, it appears he has been single.
