Recalling the momentous decision, she shared that only nine days after meeting Lamar, they made the impromptu choice to tie the knot.

However, in a later interview with Harper's Bazaar, she delves into a more nuanced perspective on her fitness journey, hinting at a darker source of inspiration. "My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic," she told the mag. "At the time, my family didn't know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I've kept. I just needed a place to go. They had a TV and I could watch The Real Housewives on an elliptical," she joked. "No one talked to me. I loved that solitude," she said as revealed how she ignored paps.

She further shared, "Never compromise the way you desire to be loved. We all should require and demand a certain type of love and that's for us to choose in any realm.

"I don't think I was ready at all to have a serious relationship at the time," she told Complex magazine in 2015. "I needed time on my own to digest everything that's happened. I went from Lamar to just distracting myself."

In April 2016, it appeared that Khloé Kardashian was ready to bid a final farewell to her marriage with Lamar Odom. The definitive end to their union came later that year when the couple's divorce was officially finalized. "It doesn't matter how loyal you are to someone. You can't change someone's heart and bad habits unless they want to themselves," she wrote on Instagram. "A Girl once told me... Be careful when trying to fix a broken person. For you may cut yourself on their shattered pieces," she concluded on an emotional note.
