Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom's Marriage Is Over But Reality Star Calls Ex 'Love Of My Life'?

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's marriage ended in divorce, but that didn't stop the reality star from spilling a secret about her ex and her much-slimmer body.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the 31-year-old dealt with her relationship drama not by bingeing on fatty junk food but by living a healthier life.

In the latest issue of "Women's Health" magazine, Odom's ex-wife revealed that the difficult times she went through helped her achieve the incredibly fit body she has now.

"It started around 2012," she told the magazine. "I was having a hard time with Lamar. It was toward the end of our union, and there was so much drama. I needed a release."

"At first, it was so hard," she added. "It was baby steps, but I started feeling so much better."

Although Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's failed marriage was the main reason why she decided to lose weight, in a recent interview with ET, celebrity personal trainer Gunnar Peterson shared how rigorous Kardashian's workout regimen was.

"Khloe's an animal...No complaining, no bitching, just gets after it," he said.

Apparently, her fierce attitude toward her workouts helped her achieve what she termed as her "revenge body". She did disclose to "Women's Health", though, that she did it not just for Odom but also for those who didn't believe her.

"It's just as much for all my critics who called me 'the fat one' for my entire existence," she said.

Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, and the former filed for divorce in December 2013. However, it wasn't until last month when the two signed their divorce papers signaling the legal end to their union.

Still, Kardashian wasn't shy about expressing what she feels for her ex.

"I love Lamar to death," she admitted to Women's Health Magazine. "He is the love of my life. We had a fantastic marriage. Do I wish he had tried harder? Yes. Do I think that he maybe didn't have the energy to fight because he was fighting so many other things? Yeah."

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's marriage is over, but life goes on for the reality TV star. Her September cover of Women's Health Magazine hits stands this week.
