The ex-couple was married from 2009 to 2013.
The conversation started when Lamar told the hosts he met Khloe at a club, left his ex Taraji P. Henson, and began dating The Kardashians star.
He even revealed that he “regretted” how he left his relationship with the actress.
Co-host DJ Envy asked, “What do you miss more, the NBA or Khloe Kardashian?”
The ex-Los Angeles Lakers player laughed and said, “Khloe Kardashian. I miss my wife more.”
The podcast host responded with a follow-up question, “Have you spoken since? Do you have a good relationship?”
The basketball player said no, “Sometimes I’ll go through a DM and say what’s up or whatever.”
“Does she respond?”
“Yeah of course,” Lamar said.
KHLOE AND LAMAR’S PAST
After just one month of dating, Khloe and Lamar tied the knot in 2009.
At the time, they were the Hollywood It couple and even got their own reality show, Khloe & Lamar.
Four years later in 2013, the two decided to call it quits.
They broke up after Lamar’s substance abuse got out of hand and he admitted to cheating on her multiple times.
Khloe and Lamar's Relationship Timeline
Khloe, 39, met and Lamar, 44, at a party for his teammate Metta World Peace in 2009.
The pair began dating soon after, while they shocked the world when they tied the knot just one month after meeting.
Lamar often appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians alongside his ex during their marriage, while the pair even had their own spin-off show called Khloe and Lamar.
While many fans loved the couple’s relationship on the Kardashians’ shows, Khloe and the Celebrity Big Brother star called it quits in 2013.
They broke up after Lamar’s substance abuse got out of hand and he admitted to cheating on her multiple times.
Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar on December 13, 2013 following months of speculation that they separated.
In addition to filing for divorce, the KUWTK star requested legal restoration of her last name.
Both parties signed divorce papers in July of 2015.
About two years into their marriage, Khloe revealed there was trouble in paradise.
Lamar reportedly cheated on the TV personality, while his addiction struggles became worse.
The Celebrity Big Brother contestant spoke to PEOPLE about the regret he felt about cheating on his wife, stating: “I wish I could have been more of a man. It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with.”
The former athlete further discussed his cheating in his memoir 2019 memoir, Darkness to Light: A Memoir.
He wrote: “For a while, being with her was bliss and I was the happiest I’ve ever been. We were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood and we made more money together than we had individually.
“At the start of the marriage, I was faithful to her. But I could not handle the lethal cocktail of the spotlight, addiction, a diminishing career, and infidelity.”
Lamar’s drug problems became more apparent in October 2015.
He was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after suffering an accidental overdose at the Love Ranch brothel.
Even though the pair had broken up, Khloe remained by her ex’s side as he was in a coma for four days.
At the time, she withdrew her pending divorce petition but revealed that the decision was made only so that she could make medical decisions on Lamar’s behalf.
“He OD’d during the divorce and I was his next of kin, even though it was still, the divorce was still – it was on the judge’s desk,” she explained on the Divorce Sucks With Laura Wasser podcast.
“It was like two years, or like a year or two of us trying to get the divorce going and then this happened.”
Khloe continued: “And then we paused the divorce, not for any romantic reasons but I wanted to be able to help take care of him and make sure that he would be OK again.”
Many KUWTK fans viewed Khloe putting off the divorce as a sign that the pair were going to work through their problems, though their divorce was finalized in 2016.
In 2015, Khloe was by Lamar’s side when he overdosed – which caused her to withdraw her divorce.
Khloe then revealed that she did that to make medical decisions on Lamar’s behalf.
After the scary incident, Lamar went to rehab, and his divorce with Khloe was finalized in 2016.
WHAT LAMAR HAS SAID ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP
Since their break-up, Lamar has apologized to his ex-wife several times.
In a 2019 interview with PEOPLE, Lamar said, “I wish I could have been more of a man. It still bothers me to this day. But regret is something we have to learn to live with.”
In his memoir, Darkness to Light, he wrote, “For a while, being with her was bliss and I was the happiest I’ve ever been.
“We were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood and we made more money together than we had individually.
“At the start of the marriage, I was faithful to her. But I could not handle the lethal cocktail of the spotlight, addiction, a diminishing career, and infidelity.”
