After her initial outburst on Twitter that still failed to directly address rumors of marriage problems, Khloe Kardashian is again getting people talking about the state of her marriage to Lamar Odom by ditching her Odom name.

On social media, at least.

On both Twitter and Instagram, since she married the star, Khloe went by Kardashian Odom. The other day, she suddenly decided to ditch the latter from her name, on her Instagram page, InTouch Weekly reports.

“Khloe Kardashian has dropped ‘Odom’ from her last name – on Instagram. Does this mean she's about to drop it – and her husband – from her life?” the celebrity publication asks.

“Yesterday, the 29-year-old reality star changed her name on the social-media site from Khloé Kardashian Odom to simply Khloe Kardashian. Though it seems like a small change, it could be a sign that Khloe is ready to end her troubled marriage to Lamar Odom,” the magazine adds.

However, the change only occurred on Instagram and not her Twitter as well.

Plus, just hours later, Khloe was photographed going out for dinner and she was still wearing both her engagement ring and her wedding band.

Then again, one might speculate, these changes on official pages usually precede some kind of announcement. It happened before, with Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher and, more recently, with Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.

Miley first unfollowed Liam on Twitter and only later confirmed through her publicist that the engagement with the handsome Australian actor was off for good.

According to Radar Online, Khloe has put off deciding the fate of her marriage until she’s done shooting the current season of her family’s reality show because she already has too much drama in her life right now.

“Khloe is steadfast, that she won’t decide whether she wants out of the marriage until she is done shooting the current season of the show. She has been through so much the last year with Lamar, and Khloe just doesn’t want this to be played out in front of the cameras,” an insider says.

“It’s a very sensitive situation, she is being a trooper and is being a total professional while shooting. Another reason why Khloe isn’t making any decisions yet, she doesn’t want this to loom over Lamar in the future, no matter what she decides to do,” adds the tipster.

Word has it that Lamar is addicted to crack cocaine and has been struggling for the past 2 years. He’s also refusing rehab, and this is driving Khloe away.
