Why did Khloe Kardashian and Lamar divorce?

Khloe and Lamar got hitched in 2009 after dating for just one month and were married until 2016 before getting divorced.

On December 13, 2013, after months of speculated separation, Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar and requested legal restoration of her last name.

Both parties signed divorce papers in July 2015.

While the pair were married, they looked happy on-screen, but numerous reports surfacede alleging that Lamar abused drugs.

Khloe eventually filed for divorce after trying to help her then-husband of four years.

“She flip-flopped several times,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “But she can’t imagine having kids with someone who refuses to seek help for his disease.”  

In October 2015, Lamar was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after suffering an accidental overdose at the Love Ranch brothel.

Khloe rushed to be by his side as he lay in a hospital in a coma for four days. Khloe withdrew her pending divorce petition at the time but revealed that the decision was made so that she could make medical decisions on Lamar's behalf.

“He OD’ed during the divorce and I was his next of kin, even though it was still, the divorce was still — it was on the judge’s desk,” she said on the Divorce Sucks With Laura Wasser podcast.

“It was like two years, or like a year or two of us trying to get the divorce going and then this happened.” 

She continued,  “And then we paused the divorce, not for any romantic reasons but I wanted to be able to help take care of him and make sure that he would be OK again."
