Lamar Odomis done living in the past.
On Thursday, the former NBA player shared an Instagram praising his current girlfriend,Sabrina Parr, while declaring that he was “tired” of discussing his old relationships..
“The look on @getuptoparr face is how she makes me feel everyday,” Odom, 39, captioned the shot of him kissing a smiling Parr on the cheek as he held her buttocks.
Odom wrote that he “said what I said then based on where I was in life at that time,” adding, “I was young, wasn’t sober and going through a lot.”
“All of that is different now. I’m at where I want to be at!” he concluded.
Although he didn’t name names, Odom’s mention of his exes is likely a reference toKhloé Kardashian— whom he married in 2009 just over a month after they met — andEmpireactress Taraji P. Henson — whom he dated before her and recently said he“left” for the reality star. Odom and Kardashian split after four years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in 2016.
“Well, I think we’ve both matured over time,” Odom said of the former couple transitioning from exes to friends. “I wish her all the best.”
“She’s a mother now, and she took care of me for four years, so I know she won’t have any problems taking care of a child,” he said, referencing Kardashian’s 18-month-old daughterTruewith exTristan Thompson.

“But I wish her all the best. It’s just meant for us to be friends,” Odom said onReality Checkwhile sitting beside hisDWTSpro partner Peta Murgatroyd.
On Aug. 2, Odom unveiled his relationship with Parr, whom he called his “new woman” in an Instagram photo. That same month, the two spoke about their romance in aninterviewonDish Nation.
“It’s the truth. She’s black,” Odom said when asked how his relationship with his personal trainer and life coach girlfriend his different from those in the past.
Parr explained why she decided to pursue a relationship with Odom, despite his highly publicized past.

“Sometime pain, I think, attracts women,” Odom initially answered before Parr could. “The pain I’ve been through.”
“That wasn’t my story, I wasn’t attracted to the pain and the drama,” the health and life coach rebuked.
“You have to meet people where they are,” Parr continued. “He was never in a position to be someone’s husband, you know? He was sick, he needed to heal, he needed to grieve. He experienced a lot of losses. And he never had time to go through that.”
A teaser for this Sunday’s episode ofKeeping Up with the Kardashiansshows Kardashian considering reconnecting with Odom after he reached out, asking to meet face-to-face for the first time in years.
“I always felt after this overdose, that I did everything in my power to be there through sickness and health,” Khloé tells Kim and Kourtney in the clip. “And once I saw that hewasn’t in the head spaceto really want to change his bad situation, then I was fine letting him go. I’ve never thought twice about it or why we’ve stopped talking or anything like that.”
