Khloe Kardashian has opened up about why she decided to call off her divorce to Lamar Odom.
Last month, the reality television star confirmed she had called off the couple's divorce as Odom lay fighting for his life following an alleged drink-and-drugs binge.
The couple tied the knot in 2009, but in 2013 called time on their marriage due to Odom's behaviour. The legal paperwork for their separation was stil going through the courts when the sportstar was found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada in October. As Kardashian was still legally his wife, she was therefore responsible for his medical decisions. Odom has since come out of his coma, but is said to have a lengthy recovery ahead.
Now, Kardashian has spoken out about why she made the choice she did to call of their divorce.
During an interview on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, the 31-year-old explained: "When I first filed for divorce it was one too many times of Lamar not following through with rehab or interventions. Everyone said I should use the divorce card and get him to make a decision. I did that.
"I don't know if I really wanted that divorce so at first it was hard for me to let go so I let it linger hoping and thinking it would be okay. We would plan therapy appointments or meetings but he wouldn't follow through and it broke my heart.
"I was still hopeful but after a year I was getting more strength from within and thought, 'I don't deserve this, he isn't trying, why am I doing all this work, he should be trying to prove things to me.' I think I was getting closure myself thinking he didn't have the capacity to fight for himself let alone us."
Earlier this year, Kardashian met James Harden, with whom she is currently dating, and said she realised that she needed closure from her ex, and started proceedings to expedite the divorce.
"I felt like I needed to finish with the divorce and just go. I was expediting it and when all this [Odom's hospitalisation] happens. I knew I had pushed to have it expedited so I told my lawyer we needed to see where the divorce stands and how quickly it will get down as at the time he was still in coma and I was the medical advisor.
"There weren't so many legal things we could do in such a short time frame. I found out it would have been finalised within seven days as it was on the judge's desk. My lawyer suggested let's pull the divorce out of the process of expediting. And that's what I did. I just felt it was really insensitive."
Despite calling off the couple's divorce, however, Kardashian has said she is not reuniting with her ex.
