Lamar Odom Wants to Shoot his Shot at Taraji P. Henson Again

Former Los Angeles Lakers turned reality TV star Lamar Odom has recently revealed which one of his exes he’d try to date again if given the chance and it may not be who you think.

According to The New York Post, Odom, who once dated actress Taraji P. Henson but left her to start a romance with Khloe Kardashian was asked who he would get back together with. He picked the Empire actor as his selection.

He then says, “Because I love Taraji. It’s a love thing. It’s about who you love.” He also states that, “Taraji is a cool girl. Matter fact she’s here [in L.A.]. I got to see her at the BET Awards in June. So maybe I’ll get to shoot my shot at her again.”

He briefly dated Henson in 2009 for a short time and then went out to date and then eventually marry Kardashian. In a book he wrote in 2019, Darkness to Light: A Memoir, which went on to become a New York Times bestseller, he said that he and Henson “started secretly dating and quickly fell in love.” Although the romance didn’t last long, he called it “one of the happiest times of my life.”

He made an interesting statement to Page Six. “I think the difference between Taraji and Khloe is how they was brought up. Their upbringing, which makes people different and [affects] the way they think. I think Taraji is more skillful in what she does as an actress compared to what Khloé does.”

But he did say that Kardashian was “a great wife.”

Odom, who was a two-time champion when he played in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, is back in another reality TV series.

The show, College Hill, which premiered on Wednesday features Odom and other familiar faces. Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member, NeNe Leakes, For the Love of Ray J‘s Ray J, Bad Girls Club cast member Dream Doll, and Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce main star, Big Freedia also star in the latest rendition of the first Black reality series.

The plot for this season is that none of the celebrities on the show attended college or did not complete their collegiate studies before embarking upon their successful careers in reality TV.
