Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian files for divorce from NBA's Lamar Odom
[December 14, 2013] By Dana Feldman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — Reality television personality Khloe Kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband of four years, NBA basketball player Lamar Odom, capping months of reports that the couple's relationship had turned rocky.

Kardashian, 29, cited irreconcilable differences in seeking
to end her marriage in court documents filed on Friday in Los
Angeles County Superior Court. Kardashian, a younger sister of the better-known TV celebrity
Kim Kardashian, married Odom, 34, a former player for the Los
Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, in September 2009 after a
whirlwind romance. The wedding was featured on the E! channel
reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." The couple have
no children together. A representative for Kardashian declined to comment to Reuters
on the court filing. The divorce filing comes after months of headlines in various
tabloid media outlets about marital strains between the couple
as Odom, an NBA free agent who does not belong to any team, has
displayed increasingly erratic behavior in public. In August, the basketball player was arrested on suspicion of
drunken driving on a Los Angeles highway. Neither Kardashian nor Odom has commented publicly on the status
of their marriage. The divorce filing asks that the wife's formal name be restored
to Khloe Kardashian from Khloe Kardashian Odom. (In this story
Odom's NBA status in first paragraph has been corrected by
dropping extraneous word 'former') (Writing and additional reporting by Piya Sinha-Roy; editing by Mohammad Zargham) [© 2013 Thomson Reuters. All rights reserved.] Copyright 2013 Reuters. All rights reserved. This material may not be published,
