Lamar Odom on Wife Khloe Kardashian

After the Lakers squeaked out a win last night at Staples Center, Lamar Odom husband to reality TV star Khloe Kardashian took time to answer questions about their relationship.

The relationship between the athlete and TV star has been plagued with rumors since they got married one month after having met each other. The tabloids have accused LO of using Khloe to launch his clothing line, Rich Soil and gain publicity through her TV show.

Some highlights from the interview include:

“I’m a good dude. I’ve made a good living playing basketball. I don’t have to date someone or marry someone to make a better living. I do pretty well for myself. It’s too bad that people say stuff like that. I don’t think she’s hurt by it. I still love my wife.”

“When I married her and appeared on the show a whole new demographic of people knew who I was,” Odom said. “People come up to me who don’t even care about basketball and say, ‘Oh, we love your wife, can we take a picture?’ That’s just the way it is. You have to expect that. I just try to be myself.”

“When I married Khloe I turned into a Laker beau, which I’ve never been called before,” Odom said. “Now, I’m a beau. … I didn’t marry her to sell T-shirts but I’d probably marry her to be called a beau. That’s the one thing I do want out of the relationship, to be called a beau.”
