He explained that having a doll that shared a similar body shape and facial features to the reality star is not about intimacy but for his mental health. According to Page Six, he told host Richard Taite that it was a bit “sick” that the doll looked like his ex but clarified that he doesn’t keep in contact with her. “I don’t speak to her, but she cares about me,” Odom added.
He mentioned that even though their lives had taken different paths, he felt he could still send her a text and receive a reply. The former couple began dating in 2009 and got married just a month after they started seeing each other. In 2013, their marriage ended when Kardashian filed for divorce, citing Odom’s apparent issues with infidelity and addiction.
