Kardashian not back with Odom despite divorce dismissal

LOS ANGELES

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom filed a court petition dismissing a divorce filing, but the reality- TV star says that doesn’t mean they’re reconciling after the former NBA star was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.

Kardashian says in an interview with People magazine that she halted the divorce to make medical decisions on Odom’s behalf.

“I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it,” she told the magazine. “For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold. But that does not mean I’m back with Lamar. It’s not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship. Only time will tell.”

According to search-warrant records, Odom is believed to have overdosed on cocaine and other drugs before he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nev. He was hospitalized in Las Vegas and transferred to Los Angeles, where his family said Oct. 22 that he was undergoing therapy and showing improvement.

Kardashian said Odom has a long road to recovery.

“Every hour is different,” she said. “It goes up and it goes down. Things are progressing, but it’s a very serious situation.”
