Khloé Kardashian has recalled the gut-wrenching moment she got a call from a woman her then-husband Lamar Odom had been cheating with.
The reality TV star, 41, tied the knot with the American basketball player, 46, in 2009, and they were married for seven years.
The former celebrity couple met at a party in Los Angeles and got engaged just a few weeks later; however, things took a turn in July 2013, when a slew of reports claimed that the NBA star had cheated on Kardashian.
By December of that same year, she had filed for divorce, which was finalised in December 2016.

Now, Odom has gotten candid about his past in a new Netflix documentary about his life, which was released on the streaming platform yesterday (31 March) - Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.
The documentary traces the life of the star, from his rise to NBA fame and marriage to Kardashian to his near-fatal overdose in a Nevada brothel.
The former couple both appear in the doc to share memories of their marriage, open up about Odom's infidelity and drug use, and how Kardashian 'enabled' him.
Scolding his past self for his infidelity, the sports star said: "What the f**k would make you think you marry this woman on TV and then go have affairs?"
He recalled one specific night where he was 'high out of my f***ing mind,' so the woman he was cheating with at the time got nervous and took his phone to call his wife.
Describing the moment, Kardashian said she answered the phone to a woman saying: "I’ve been f***ng your husband," and that the woman was freaked out by how 'f***ed up' Odom was on drugs,
Kardashian said the woman told her, "I’ve got to get off this ride, can you pick him up?"
Speaking about his addiction, The Kardashians star later added, "I was looking for him in alleys, looking for him in motels."
She recalled how she would 'go to hotel rooms to clean up after him' so that housekeeping employees didn’t 'sell a story'.
“I was such an enabler without knowing I was an enabler,” Kardashian admitted, explaining that she felt a 'responsibility' to cover up his drug addiction in order to 'protect him'.
She added, "I remember just keeping all these secrets, and feeling horrible about myself.
"I was fighting every single day either to protect him, to not let him get caught, which sounds insane…. I didn’t sleep for years."
At the time, she was 24 and 'still trying to figure out my life', so she attributed her behavior to her age.
Untold: The Death and Life of Lamar Odom is available to stream on Netflix now.
