Khloe Kardashian Clarifies Relationship with James Harden
Published at | Updated at
Ben Cohen/Bravo(LOS ANGELES) — Khloe Kardashian has spent the last several weeks helping her estranged husband Lamar Odom while he attempts to recover from a terrifying incident last month, but the reality TV star still looks to be dating James Harden, the NBA star she was linked to well before Odom was found unconscious in a legal Nevada brothel in mid-October.
Kardashian posted a funny video to Instagram on Monday of Harden with the caption, “@jharden13 side eye game is strong! I love this video!”
And in a new interview with Redbook magazine the reality star referred to Harden as her boyfriend.
“Our family brings a different amount of — not fame — attention. Instead of just being known for his talent, he’s now known for being someone’s boyfriend,” she said of the NBA player. “We’re used to it, but for a person new to this, I’m like: ‘Oh, God. I’m sorry.'”
In regards to Odom, she told the magazine, “My biggest wish is for him to be happy. I still have a great deal of love for him.”
This interview and social media flirtation comes after the two were spotted over the weekend out and about in Hollywood. TMZ caught the duo looking to still be very close.
Kardashian and Harden were first reported to be dating in July. Harden then started popping up on Kardashian’s Instagram pics and vice versa.
But after Kardashian rushed to be by Odom’s bedside in the hospital last month, she called off her pending divorce weeks later. She made it clear though that the two were not back together. “I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it,” she told People magazine at the time. “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.”
