Kardashian told People magazine in an interview released on
Wednesday that she still loves Odom, who is recovering from a
collapse at a brothel two weeks ago, but "it's not even in our
brains thinking about us a couple or having a relationship right
now."
"There are too many other important things, too many medical
things," she added, saying she called off the divorce
proceedings in order to be able to make medical decisions on
Odom's behalf.
The former Los Angeles Lakers player, 35, is recovering from a
coma after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel where
authorities said he used cocaine and an herbal
sexual-enhancement supplement.
The couple, whose four-year marriage and split was featured in
the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality show and spinoff
series "Khloe and Lamar," withdrew their divorce papers last
week after Kardashian, 31, rushed to Odom's bedside.
"I had to get to him and make sure he was OK," she told People.
"I hate that he was in that situation. I wouldn't want anybody
in that situation, especially someone I love and care about."
Kardashian was cautiously optimistic about Odom's condition.
"The fact that he woke up was definitely a sigh of relief for
everybody," she said. "Every hour is different. It goes up and
it goes down but he's awake. He's alive and that's all I wanted,
was for him to be OK."
