Khloe, 37, has finally offered a response to Lamar’s appearance on Celebrity Big Brother last week.
The reality star reportedly doesn’t have any problem with her ex-hubby being on the show, despite his willingness to comment on their failed marriage.
A source explained to Us Weekly: “Khloe thinks it’s actually great that Lamar went on because it’s more an opportunity than anything else.
“It’s income for him and something new and exciting.”
The 42-year-old basketball debuted as one of the 11 houseguests on season 3 of the reality series, and he’s been very forthcoming about his “regrets” when it comes to Khloe.
However, the insider made it clear that Lamar “didn’t go on the show with the intention of it being a platform to talk about Khloe again.”

They explained that the appearance was really an “opportunity for him to get paid [and] to be back in the spotlight and to grow his fan base.”
The informant also claimed that Khloe isn’t “worried” about what he will say about their relationship because “she’s heard it all” before.
The former Lakers star has planned to use the platform as a “comeback” after several difficult years.
“[It’s] something Khloe would be proud of like, ‘Good for him,’” the source asserted, adding, “He has no ulterior motives.”
Lamar’s management also offered a comment on his return to reality TV, telling Us Weekly: “Lamar’s appearance on CBB is in no way a ‘ploy’ to reunite with his ex-wife.
“Lamar has moved on with life and is working diligently to build an image and a brand as a businessman in the athletic and entertainment industry.”
They added that Celebrity Big Brother is a “wonderful platform” to let fans see the former NBA star as “more than an ex-athlete, Kardashian’s ex-husband and [an] ex-drug abuser.”
Lamar “will always carry a fondness for Khloe and her family in his heart,” the management team explained, saying: “he does regret his behavior while married to her and [whenever he is] given an opportunity to apologize privately or publicly, he does so.”
WHIRLWIND ROMANCE
Khloe and her ex-husband married in September of 2009 after only one month of dating.
The pair split ways in 2013, but the Good American founder waited until 2015 to divorce, as she decided to help him recover from an overdose he suffered that year.
She filed for divorce for good in May of 2016, and it was finalized seven months later.
LIVING WITH REGRET
Lamar has since joined the cast of Celebrity Big Brother for season 3, making some shocking revelations regarding the end of his relationship.
The former athlete opened up to his co-star Todrick Hall on Thursday’s episode, revealing that he was hopeful Khloe would be on the show’s cast.
The NBA star told Todrick: “I just want to take her out to eat and tell her I’m sorry.”
Alluding to his infidelity, Lamar said: “When you take a vow under the Lord’s eye, you expect to honor that vow, which I didn’t.”
He added: “What would ever make me think I could get away with that?”
Later, Lamar confessed that he believed Khloe was “the one” and that he “misses” her and her family “dearly.”
