In a romantic relationship, it is not simply about getting a partner, it's about keeping the partner. A source claimed that Lamar Odom never really felt threatened when Khloe Kardashian got into a relationship with French Montana. For Lamar, Khloe's connection with French was nothing more but a rebound relationship, and nothing is ever going to stand in his way on the topic of his love and affection for the reality TV star.

According to the source, Lamar wasn't really impressed with French Montana. "He's (French) whack and so is his music," the source told Hollywood Life. Lamar reportedly didn't think so highly of the Moroccan-born singer rapper.

So French may have won Khloe's heart, even just for a while, but their relationship didn't turn out to be a lasting love. Lamar figured that French could have sorted out his life first if he was so serious about Khloe. The New York native basketball player thought it wasn't cool for French to start seeing Khloe when he was still married. "Lamar knew from the beginning that French and Khloe's relationship wouldn't amount to anything," the source revealed. French wasn't able to build a solid foundation for his relationship with Khloe. French apparently failed to start his romance with Khloe on the right foot.

Khloe's brief romance with French was simply an attempt to fill a hole in her life that was left by Lamar, the insider further lamented. Now that French has been evicted from the picture, Lamar was going to do what it takes to fix his marriage with Khloe.

Lamar has already started ditching old acquaintances and unhealthy habits for Khloe. He has also resorted to enticing his estranged wife with the suggestion of filming another spin-off series "Khloe and Lamar" for "Keeping up with the Kardashians." Lamar thought that the new reality TV show would be a good therapy for both of them.

Khloe is in a stronger position at this point in time, but Lamar is fine with it. Even though Khloe has all control in the situation, Lamar is "being patient" just to get another chance with Khloe.
