Lamar Odom has broken his silence following reports that he confronted his ex Khloe Kardashian outside a gym last week.

US gossip site TMZ reported that the former NBA player demanded to speak to the reality star outside SoulCycle in Los Angeles.

But Odom has now claimed the incident was a “misunderstanding”.

Speaking to InTouch he said: “We spoke [beforehand].

“A misunderstanding between me and my wife became public. It’s hurtful. That woman is my wife. Without the ring on my finger. [Even] with her picture being taken with another man, that woman is my wife.”

The couple signed off on their divorce last month after splitting in 2013, but Odom insisted that the KUWTK star will forever be the only woman for him.

“She’s [my] soul mate," he told the publication. "I can’t control it. We’ll never part. I would never consider myself serious with another woman.

Kardashian recently sparked rumours that she is dating basketball player James Harden - something Odom has described as "weird".

He said: "To sum it up, if a man is attempting to court Khloé, he’s probably wasting his time.

"And the weirdest part about it is because I really know how she feels about me.”
