REPORTLamar Odom Still in Love With Khloé Kardashian — Calls New Boyfriend a “Place Holder”

Did someone say love triangle? Lamar Odom wants his wife Khloé Kardashian back — and he’s not letting her new boyfriend Tristan Thompson get in his way.

The former NBA star confessed his love for the KUWTK star on national television last week, and now it’s being reported that Lamar is hoping to rekindle his romance just months after finalizing their divorce.

“Lam needs TT to know how madly in love he still is with Khloe and wants Tristan to understand that he and Khloé have unfinished business,” a source tells Hollywood Life. “Lam doesn’t want to disrespect what they have, but he thinks Tristan is just like James Harden and French Montana — a place holder in her life for when he returns.”

Unfortunately for Lam-Lam, Khloe, 32, is happier than ever with the Cleveland Cavaliers player, and ready to start a family with the 25-year-old, who just welcomed a son with ex Jordan Craig last month.

“She wants to have a baby with Tristan right away and isn’t bothered by the fact that he just became a dad,” says an insider exclusively to Life & Style. “Khloé feels healthier than ever and thinks this is the perfect time to try for a baby.”

The Good American designer even moved to Ohio to be closer to her basketball-playing beau during the NBA season.

“Khloé is madly in love with Tristan and has already moved into his Cleveland home,” a pal says. “She said she was upset at how cold it was in Ohio, but she added that it was totally worth it and that Tristan would keep her warm.”

Meanwhile, Lamar recently completed a short stay in rehab and opened up about his near-fatal overdose on The Doctors.

“Did I feel ashamed about some of the choices I made? I was basically just committing suicide,” the father-of-two said. “I wasn’t in a good place mentally before that incident happened. Me and my wife at the time were going through some things. I was in a dark place. I guess they say everything happens for a reason. I guess the reason is I’m here. I can tell the story.”
