Khloé Kardashian Boyfriends: Everyone She Dated Before Tristan Thompson
By Natalie Zamora
It’s hard to imagine Khloé Kardashian dating anyone else other than Tristan Thompson at this point, as since they began dating in 2016, a whole lot of life-changing events have gone down. For one, they had a child together -- Khloé’s first -- and secondly, they faced a major cheating scandal when Tristan was caught making out with other women while KoKo was pregnant. And oh yeah, another major scandal just came out earlier this week when it was discovered Tristan hooked up with Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn Woods.
If you’ve been following the Kardashians for a while then you remember Lamar Odom, too, but what about beyond those two?
Here’s all the men Khloé dated before Tristan.
Rashad McCants: 2009
Khloé’s first public boyfriend was basketball player Rashad McCants back in 2009. According to Sports Illustrated, after their split, the athlete blamed his career ending on Khloé! Um, is this where the “Kardashian Curse” started? Thank you, next.
Derrick Ward: 2009
Later on that year, Khloé dated football player Derrick Ward. He even attended a Kardashian family vacation to Mexico for Kourtney’s birthday! However, they didn’t last long. She soon moved on to her soon-to-be husband.
Lamar Odom: 2009 - 2013
And of course, then Khloé dated Lamar Odom. But not for long. The pair got married, as seen on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, only about a month after they met, and they actually lasted longer than many expected. In 2013, the two split, as many allegations -- later proved true -- were made against Lamar for cheating. Their divorce was put on hold in 2015, however, as Lamar overdosed and was in a coma. Khloé stayed by his side through his recovery, and ultimately the divorce was settled in 2016.
Matt Kemp: 2013
Shortly after filing for divorce from Lamar, Khloé dated baseball player Matt Kemp. The two were spotted on various dates, but seemingly were just a fling.
French Montana: 2013 - 2014
Khloé’s most serious relationship after Lamar was French Montana, as the rapper even appeared on KUWTK on multiple occasions. Although they two were cute and fun together, Khloé later admitted on the show that their split had to do with her wanting to be single. She realized she might’ve rushed into it too soon.
James Harden: 2015 - 2016
After French, Khloé dated basketball player James Harden after they met at a birthday party for Kanye West. The two were reportedly good together, and the NBA star was even there for KoKo through Lamar’s overdose. After their split, however, James called the year he dated the reality star the “worst” of his life because of all of the media attention. Ultimately, the paparazzi and spotlight is what forced James to call it quits.
In the same year Khloé and James split, she met Tristan. And the rest is history, unfortunately.
