Getting involved — again? Lamar Odom spoke out after Tristan Thompson confirmed he fathered a child with another woman, and it’s safe to say Khloé Kardashian’s ex-husband is on her side. Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s Whirlwind Romance Read article “I truly wish nothing but the best for her and I’m hoping we can reconnect and talk one day as friends,” a comment from the 42-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers star’s official Facebook page on a news story about Thompson, 30, reads. “She is a good person and deserves the world.” Thompson was named in a lawsuit filed by Maralee Nichols, who claimed they conceived her baby boy in March 2021, during the summer. Odom’s remark comes hours after the Sacramento Kings center announced the results of his paternity test were in. “I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions.
