Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom
The former NBA star Lamar Odom, who is gradually recovering from a near fatal drug overdose and his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian called off divorce proceedings on Wednesday, October 21.
This move came following the former's Laker's player drug overdose at a Nevada brothel that left him fighting for life.
Reality television star, Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom in December 2013 citing irreconcilable differences after four years of marriage.
Kardashian’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, appeared before a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday to withdraw the papers, a request which was approved.
The one-page document was submitted without prejudice, meaning the divorce papers can be refiled at a later date, according to multiple reports.
Lamar is currently undergoing treatment in Los Angeles after showing steady signs of improvement after being rushed to hospital last week in Nevada.
The 35-year old basketballer was hospitalized and placed on a life-supporting ventilator last Tuesday, when he was found unconscious at the famed Love Ranch brothel outside Las Vegas after reportedly consuming a cocktail of drugs and alcohol during a four-day binge.
Khloe has been at Odom’s bedside since the incident, and on Tuesday issued a statement thanking medical workers and wellwishers for their care and support.
