Lamar Odom Weight Gain: Khloe Kardashian Ex Adds Pounds

Lamar Odom has kicked his drug habit and added a few extra pounds.

After reportedly putting a stop to the drug use which allegedly drove him and Khloe Kardashian apart, Odom has bulked up and is now focused on his future in the NBA.

“At the height of Lamar’s drug binge in recent months, he just wasn’t eating,” an insider explained to Radar Online, via Life & Style. “The drugs just killed his appetite. The good news is that Lamar is now drug free and has been putting on weight!”

In the summer of 2013, reports surfaced, claiming Odom had cheated on his wife with more than one woman, and that he had been using hard drugs. Although Kardashian stayed with Odom for months after the allegations, she filed for divorce at the end of 2013. From there, Kardashian moved on with rapper French Montana and the pair continue to date.

Meanwhile, Odom has reportedly been trying to get his soon-to-be ex-wife back by refusing to sign divorce papers. Odom has also been working on himself, doing what he can to stay clean from drugs and get his body in shape for the upcoming 2014-2015 NBA season.

“He is much healthier and is now working on shedding the excess pounds and getting in shape,” the source added.

Following his reported drug scandal, Odom played professional basketball in Spain for Laboral Kutxa, but eventually returned to the U.S., where he signed a deal with the New York Knicks for the remainder of the 2014 season.
