Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom days before Christmas 2013, but he’s still holding out hope for a reconciliation. Now that she broke up from rapper French Montana, whom she started dating in April, Lamar is determined to do whatever he can to win her back.

According to the latest report, it’s working: Khloe is already starting warming up to the idea of giving Lamar another chance, even if she’s not ready to admit to it out loud.

Mother and manager Kris Jenner also approves, BANG Showbiz reports.

Drugs killed their marriage

Word online has it that Khloe only gave up on the marriage to Lamar after repeated attempts to get him to kick his drug addiction, which he’d developed 2 years earlier. In the final months of their marriage, he’d been binging on crack cocaine, refusing to listen to her when she told him he needed professional help and going MIA for days in a row.

He bailed on rehab a couple of times, after Khloe had managed to convince him to check himself in. He also cheated on her and even made a video bragging about it and posted it online.

This is said to have been the final straw, the reason why Khloe accepted at last that she could do nothing to “save” him or their marriage, so she gave him an ultimatum: her or the life he was leading. He chose the latter and she kicked him out of the house and filed the divorce papers.

Fortunately for Lamar, this was also the wakeup call he so badly needed, so he got himself clean and sober – and apparently never lost the hope that he and Khloe might still have a future together.

Flowers, the surest way to a woman’s Khloe’s heart

Since he found out that Khloe was single again, Lamar started sending her flowers daily and this nice gesture seems to have the effect he was hoping for.

“He sends her favorite flowers all the time just to make her smile,” an insider says. Momager Kris is also warming up to the idea of having Lamar back in Khloe’s life: “Kris has always held a special place in her heart for Lamar, so when he reached out to apologize to her too, she was like Putty in his hands.”

“Lamar knows that even if he earns Khloe's trust back, it's her mom who makes all the family decisions. He's thrilled they're talking again. Lamar is clean and sober now. He's been seeing a therapist and working out regularly, getting himself on the right track to win Khloe back,” the source continues.

By staying clean and convincing both Khloe and Kris that he’s serious about sobriety, he’s halfway to getting his wife back. In the end, everybody wins – but the biggest winners will probably be the Kardashians: can you imagine the kind of ratings their reality show would get if it featured the tearful reunion between Lamar and Khloe and hopefully the ceremony of their wedding vows renewal?
