A new issue of PEOPLE magazine hit newsstands this week and in it, Khloe Kardashian is finally breaking her silence regarding her relationship with Lamar Odom. According to Khloe, calling of their divorce does NOT mean they’re reconciling.
Now, before you start popping off about why Khloe would do an interview NOW, she wants you to know that the interview with the magazine primarily took place BEFORE Lamar’s tragedy.
I want to make this VERY clear…. My people cover, I shot and interviewed for PRIOR to all the events that happened. PART 1

It was contracted press for my book that I wrote months and months ago. Timing is what it is. PART 2

Shame on you all for thinking the worst of me. It's been a tough few weeks. I don't need your fucked up energy!

I had to do a follow up 5 minute phoner after the events only because I was contracted to. I cancelled my book tour to avoid this attention.

To the ones who uplift and send love…. I love you more! I appreciate the support. Have a great day babies! Kisses and hugs ????

With that being said, here’s an excerpt from the 5-minute phoner that helps clarify the status of her and Lamar’s relationship right now.
“It’s out in the media that we are back together, but I wish people understood that’s not in our thought process right now,” Kardashian says exclusively in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. “There are too many other important things, too many medical things. It’s not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now.”
“It’s not anything sexual or intimate,” says the Keeping up with the Kardashians star, 31, of the present situation. “I want to be his support system. Tragedy does make you reassess a lot of things, but when it comes to our relationship, it’s the same, except I’m here supporting him fully.”
With regard to pulling back on finalizing the divorce, “there is no rush,” says Kardashian, who has been dating Houston Rockets player James Harden, 26. “I’m not trying to get married tomorrow to anybody. It’s just bad timing to proceed with that right now. And also for medical reasons, it’s just smarter that gets on hold for a minute. But that does not mean I’m back with Lamar. That’s a whole other thing that only time will tell. I can’t tell you what tomorrow brings.”
And there it is. You can read more from Khloe, including an exclusive interview and book excerpt in which she talks about the sad demise of her marriage, her body image struggles and the impact Lamar’s problems have had on her brother Rob in the new issue of People, on newsstands Friday.
