Khloe Kardashian’s marriage to Lamar Odom has been subject to tabloid speculation for months and, if the latest photos are any indication, their relationship has not seen any real improvement in recent weeks – because she just stepped on a red carpet without her engagement ring and wedding band.

Tabloids tend to make a big deal whenever a star believed to be having marital issues heads to the gym without their wedding bands, though, if you think about it, it makes sense to leave your diamonds and other jewelry items at home if you’re going for a workout.

Khloe too has done the same in the past but not once (from what we can remember) was she seen on a red carpet without the giant engagement ring she got from Lamar, and without the wedding band.

Yet this is precisely what happened at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment breakfast, where she had mom and manager Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian as dates. Attached to this article is a composite pic Khloe posted on her Instagram, showcasing her gorgeous all-white outfit.

What you can’t see in this photo or, better yet, what you can’t tell with certainty is that she’s not wearing her engagement and wedding rings. The Daily Mail has photos that show Khloe’s left hand was completely diamond-free.

This begs the question of whether she’s really lost all hope of mending the relationship with Lamar or, as skeptics would say, of whether she’s playing the media by keeping us on our toes about the state of the marriage. Implicitly, the latter would translate into a boost in interest in the family reality show, because fans would tune in for new episodes to see what happens.

However, insiders are saying, as cited by the same media outlet, that it’s the former: Khloe is done with Lamar, having come to the conclusion that she can’t help him kick off his drug addiction if he really doesn’t want to be helped.

Moreover, she’s decided to end the marriage. “She’s filing for divorce very soon,” says one insider.

We’ll see if that’s really the case. In the meantime, for one reason or another, Khloe isn’t wearing her wedding ring.
