Lamar Odom revealed what led to his reunion with ex-wife Khloé Kardashian more than a decade after they called it quits.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star got candid about his forthcoming appearance on Season 6 of “The Kardashians,” saying he was encouraged to reconnect with his ex after running into her close friend Malika Haqq.

“I bumped into [Malika] in Las Vegas, I think it was Super Bowl weekend,” Odom said on Sunday’s episode of “The Kyle & Jackie O Show.”

“She came to me, and said, ‘You know Lamar, I think it’s time for you and Khloé, it’s been years. You haven’t seen her, if you’re up for it, I think I could make it happen.’”

Odom, 45, recalled arriving at the Good American co-founder’s Hidden Hills, Calif., home with a bouquet of roses and being caught off guard by the camera crew that was there filming for the show’s upcoming season.

“I went there, and it was cameras there,” the retired NBA player said. “It’s cool, I understand it.”

When asked whether he and Kardashian, 40, were back together, Odom replied, “I wouldn’t say back together. It would be a blessing to be her friend.”

“So much time has passed and people change,” he explained, adding that he has changed “for the better.”

Kardashian appeared to agree with her ex-husband’s stance that “people change” when she admitted in the “Kardashians” Season 6 trailer, “I don’t know this person anymore.”

However, the reality star’s mom, Kris Jenner, appeared heartbroken over her daughter’s reunion with Odom, saying in a confessional, “That [he] was the love of her life.”

Kardashian and Odom rushed to the altar in 2009 after one month of dating. She filed for divorce four years later.

Kardashian, however, put a pause on their divorce in 2015 when her now ex-husband had an accidental overdose and ended up in a coma.

At the time, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum became Odom’s caretaker.

In May 2016, Kardashian filed for divorce, again, and they finalized their split that December.

Kardashian later moved on with Tristian Thompson, and the two were in an on-again, off-again relationship from 2016 to 2021.

She and Thompson share daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2.
