Caitlyn Jenner reveals fave Kardashian boyfriend

Caitlyn Jenner has seen a lot of drama in the Kardashian household over the years, and that includes the relationship issues daughters Kendall and Kylie, and stepdaughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, have faced.

Now the 67-year-old has opened up about which boyfriend of the girls she's the biggest fan of.

Speaking to KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O show on Monday morning, Caitlyn said Khloe's ex Lamar Odom is in her good books.

"Actually you know the one I like the best, Lamar," she told the Australian radio hosts.

Lamar and Khloe's eventually split last year, the basketballer having made headlines in recent times for his alcohol and drug abuse issues.

"You know what, he certainly had, he had a problem and a dark side to him," Caitlyn acknowledged.

"I feel like his upbringing, tough part of New York... and his father was a heroin addict, it’s almost like at some point he’s going to get himself in trouble."

She then added: "But besides that and everything he went through there, we had such great talks, he was a kind individual, a gentle individual. I really, really, really liked him and it was just for me so tragic to see what he went through".

Lamar and Khlow married just one month after meeting in 2009 and starred in their own reality show Khloe & Lamar in 2011.

The couple longed to have a child of their own and had even picked out names: Luke Joseph for a boy; London for a girl.

But after three years of struggling to conceive, Khloe and Lamar started to look into IVF.

In August 2012, Khloe reportedly convinced Lamar to check into rehab. Around the same time, Lamar moved out of their shared home.

By 2013, the cheating and crack cocaine rumours surrounding Lamar persisted.

The basketball player was arrested for a DUI in August and moving trucks were spotted at his and Khloe's home the same day.

Khloe gave up on their marriage in December 2013 and ended up filing for divorce from Lamar.

“I will never ever not love Lamar,” she confessed to E! News. “I was so obsessed with him in a healthy way. He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Last October Lamar suffered a near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel last year.

He was hospitalised after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch and was in a coma for a few days before regaining consciousness.

During that time he suffered several strokes and had kidney failure. Khloe dropped everything to be by Lamar's side as he was in hospital and put their divorce on hold.

She said the reason for withdrawing the divorce was so she could help Lamar with his medical decisions throughout his recovery.

It was at this time that Caitlyn met Lamar for the first time.

In an episode of Kocktails with Khloe that aired in December, the reality star said: “When he had his accident, Caitlyn was like 'I want to come and see Lamar'. Lamar did not know about Caitlyn at the time.

"Lamar was in a coma and was in the hospital for four months and I kept him very sheltered and Caitlyn was transitioning at that time," she continued.

"Prior to Lamar’s accident, he was not in the best state. When Caitlyn wanted to come and visit Lamar for the first time, I wanted to respect Caitlyn.”
