Khloe Kardashian and basketball star Lamar Odom have been trying to have a baby for nearly four years and have been unsuccessful. But Khloe insists it’s not because she has infertility issues. The 28-year old blames her hormones and says the timing has been off for the couple.

Kardashian opened up about the sensitive subject in the June 2013 issue of Redbook.

“I do think my difficulty getting pregnant has helped a lot of women,” Khloe tells the magazine. “Do I wish people would quit asking me about it 24/7? Yes, but I don’t regret it.”

Khloe began her baby-making journey in 2008 soon after she and Odom wed. But today she admits that while she wants to be a mom, she isn’t the baby-desperate Kardashian sister that the media’s made her out to be.

“I was 26 when that started, and I admit, I didn’t know a lot about my body. It was hard for me to understand what was happening because my mom had six kids, and Kourtney got pregnant quickly,” says Khloe. “People assume I’m desperate for a baby. And yes, I would love to have a baby. But I’m 28, and I’ve been married three and a half years. I love my life, but it doesn’t feel incomplete right now.”

Her problem? Khloe discovered she has a hormone imbalance that she just recently figured out how to stabilize.

“I was taking hormone shots to stabilize them, and you have to take those shots consistently and they have to be done by a doctor — you can do them yourself, but I couldn’t,” says Khloe. As to why she was unsuccessful in the past, she added, “It’s a commitment and I don’t mind doing it, but the timing was just off.”

Only time will tell if there will be another Kardashian baby in the family’s near future.

In this real-life addition of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, things appear to be a bit turbulent on the relationship front for one of the sisters.

Rumors are currently swirling that Khloe Kardashian has stepped out on her marriage to Lamar Odom — at least emotionally.

Radaronline is reporting via Star Magazine that Khloe has cozied up to rapper The Game, who now is a fitness adviser to both she and her younger brother Rob Kardashian.

“They talk all the time,” a Kardashian source tells Star. “She even texts him while Lamar sleeps in their bed right next to her. The Game has been a rock for Khloe, listening to her problems, giving her advice and telling her she’s beautiful inside and out. He keeps saying she can do better than Lamar and she needs a man like him, who’d treat her like the queen she is.”

Some speculate that this is Khloe’s payback for Odom’s wifeless clubbing jaunts where he’s often seen with other women. But even so, word has it that the basketball star has still become very suspicious of his wife’s new BFF. It appears it might be with good reason; Khloe not only reportedly talks about The Game all the time, she also shared with her hubby that the rapper told her she had a nice a**.

Uh, can anyone say TMI?

What to do when you run into your sister-in-law’s estranged soon-to-be ex-hubby? Well, Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom encountered that awkward moment when he ran into Kim K.’s arch nemesis Kris Humphries after the two NBA players wound up at the same New York City restaurant.

Both were at a spot called Catch and neither said a single word to each other… Then, again, Khloe wasn’t there which probably made for a smoother meal.

After all, Lamar, more than likely, is hearing an earful from his wife about the court strife his sis-in-law and Humphries are entangled in… The only way to enjoy his meal was simply ignore his NBA brethren.

Doth Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom protest too much?

The reality TV couple, whose marriage has been under close scrutiny lately, insist that all’s fine in the world of Mr. and Mrs. Odom. “Yes, we bicker,” Kardashian admitted to US Weekly in a joint interview with her husband. “But we make sure to never go to bed angry.” Added L.A. Clippers forward Odom, “this girl is going to make you talk it out! Trust me!”

“We love each other so much,” Odom says. “And sex is fun!” adds Kardashian. “Sex is great,” Odom clarifies. “It’s on a high level. It’s intense!”

Yes, gushing about your sex life to everyone in a grocery store check-out line is a great way to convince the world that your marriage is on solid ground. Celebrity marriage deathwatch starts…now.

Lamar Odom’s ex-wife was a silent partner in the NBA player’s life for years, but now she’s come out of the woodworks and has plenty to say,  Liza Morales, who has two kids with the Los Angeles Clippers star, recently revealed that she hasn’t had sex since splitting up with Odom, and is now doubting Odom’s current wife Khloe Kardashian’s step-parenting skills.

“I don’t know if she’s good maternally, I don’t know,” Morales tells the New York Daily News, but stops short of throwing any accusations at Kardashian. “As long as my kids are good, I’m good. As long as my kids are taken care of and I haven’t heard anything negative, then I’m good.”

She’s not so kind to her ex, however. The former couple suffered a tragedy when they lost their six month old son Jayden to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2006. Morales says the couple drifted apart after the sad event because Odom refused to open up about it. They divorced in 2008. “Who abandons their lady?” she asks rhetorically.

Last year, Morales also took her chance to rub salt in the wound of Kardashian’s infertility problems. “I never knew all the difficulties with getting pregnant,” she discussed on Good Morning America. “I think that my mom has so many kids, and Kourtney pops them out like a PEZ dispenser, so you think it’s, like, so easy. You realize it’s not as easy as you might think.”

So, why is Morales suddenly so chatty, and adept at back-handed compliments? Did we mention she’s starring on TLC’s new reality show Starter Wives?

Liza Morales is taking her marriage vows of monogomy mighty seriously. Lamar Odom’s ex-wife, who stars in the upcoming TLC series Starter Wives, reveals that she hasn’t had a train in her station since she and Odom split up. Not only that, but she also claims the NBA player was her first, last and only.

“I’ve known him since I was 14 was with him since we was 16,” she said about their dating timeline. “We were childhood sweethearts!” She adds, “It will be four years since I’ve had sex.”

Odom, who is happily married to Khloe Kardashian, put his sex life out there via the couple’s many reality shows, so we guess Liza has a right to do the same?

Lamar and Liza divorced in 2009 and have two children together, Destiny, 14, and Lamar Jr., 9. Their youngest child, Jayden, died at six months in 2006 of SIDS.

Odom married Khloe Kardashian in September 2009 after a 30-day courtship. Their wedding was televised on E! Networks, and the couple have documented the highs and lows of their marriage on their spin-off reality show Khloe & Lamar. The high-profile pair have been plagued by split rumors recently, supposedly fueled by fertility problems.

His chances at a championship ring are looking pretty bleak, so Kris Humphries is going for the next best thing. The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets player is demanding his ex-wife Kim Kardashian return the 20-carat ring he “bought” her, saying he “can’t fathom” why Kim would want to keep the rock now that the couple’s 72-day marriage is kaput.

”Remember, Kim filed for divorce. Kris paid for that ring, and he just can’t fathom why Kim would want to keep it. It’s not like she is ever going to wear it again,” a source tells RadarOnline.com. ”Kris realises that with Kim it’s all about material objects and she truly treasures things over people in her life.”

The ring is just the latest piece of booty Kris is trying to get back from Kim. He also wants to know what up with the $325,000 Ferrari gifted to the couple by a Malaysian businessman, and has previously claimed he doesn’t believe Kim donated the rest of their wedding gifts to charity.

‘Kris wants a divorce trial so that the truth can finally come out,” the source added, pointing out that Humphries is motioning to have the trial filmed, reality-style.

As if the disastrous marriage, public divorce and paparazzi-overload of Kim prancing around Manhattan with her new boo Kanye West isn’t making things awkward enough, the ex-drama is now affecting Kris’s professional game. Hollywood Life claims Humphries is not only ruling out re-upping with the Nets, which is co-owned by Kim’s man Kanye’s boy Jay-Z (nevermind that the Nets haven’t offered Kris any kind of contract), he’s planning to stay out of the NBA altogether for fear that he’ll wind up on the same team as Kim’s sister Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom, who is also a free agent. Yeesh…wiping my brow just thinking about all that potential drama.

Hollywood Life claims Kris is “solely focused on his divorce” right now, which seems like a really healthy and constructive use of a professional athlete’s time. It’s not like there’s a time limit on your b-ball career, right, Kris?

The Kardashians have some high-class haters. After President Barack Obama and Bond actor Daniel Craig kicked off the trend, Jonah Hill is keeping up the bashing against Kim K. and Co. The Moneyball star told the Huffington Post, “the fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like Mad Men is disgusting.”

Uh, Jonah? Hate to break it to you, but unless Don Draper starts doing naked yoga, it’s pretty clear the Kardashians are going to win the ratings race..every single time. Congrats, though, for giving the First Family of Reality TV even more exposure! If these high-brow celebs keep up the Kar-bashing, pretty soon Kim is going to become America’s favorite underdog.

Meanwhile, in Other Kardashian Sister news, Khloe K. is already plotting a way to bring LA to Dallas. First, reports surfaced that cameras would follow Khloe and her hubby Lamar Odom to their new home in Texas, and now TMZ reports that Khloe plans to open a branch of her DASH boutique in the big-haired city. Does Diane von Furstenberg make leather chaps?

So how bout them Lakers? As you probably know by now from every single LA fan who wont let you hear the last of it, Kobe and ‘em had a game seven victory over the Boston Celtics to win the NBA finals last night.

It’s safe to say no one is really surprised about the win, but there were a lot of celeb fans that helped cheer on their team at LA’s Staple Center. Snoop stepped out with his son Cordell to show some California love.  The rapper reportedly had $20,000 riding on the game, in a bet with Donnie Wahlberg, and the money won is going to charity.

Of course Khloe Kardashian was in the house to support her man Lamar Odom. Her sister Kim also came along for the ride.

Even Usher was there. I bet Tameka was watching the game just to try to spot him looking “yummy.”

Other off-court highlights from the game:

Ron Artest may not give a what about fans, since he’s known for fighting them, but after he  hit the 3-point shot that secured the win he thanked: “everybody in my hood,” “my doctor” and “my psychiatrist – she really helped me relax a lot.” Whatever works! Dude even announced he has a single, “Champions” coming out. Yeah, because we know how much a music side hustle worked for Kobe. *side eye*

Former Laker Shaq put aside his differences and gave his well wishes. He Tweeted: “Congratulations Kobe, u deserve it. U played great. Enjoy it man enjoy it. I know what ur saying ‘Shaq how my a– taste.”

If the giant could do it, whether or not you’re a Laker’s fan, you have to give it to the team for pulling off their 16th NBA Championship in the history of the organization. Congrats!

MC and Khloe are pregnant — well, according to Radar Online.

The site reports that a “source” close to Mariah and Nick Cannon confirm their expecting their first child.  “They’re both very excited and very happy,” said the insider. “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can.” Well so much for someone keeping the news under wraps! The couple’s publicist did not confirm and only said: “I’m not at liberty to discuss Mariah’s personal life at this time.” Hmm that’s not a denial either…

As we told you last week Mariah pulled out of the ensemble cast for Tyler Perry’s movie adaptation of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf at her doctor’s suggestion. Although the singer’s camp wouldn’t disclose the medical reason for the withdrawal, the pregnancy rumors started flying.  The couple, who recently renewed their vows, talked about wanting to start a family for years and reportedly picked out baby names on their first date.

Apparently they’re not the only celeb couple who’s pregnancy news was outed this week.

Radar Online also reported that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are preparing for a bundle of joy. The duo has been married since September 2009 and there have been pregnancy rumors since the beginning (getting married after knowing someone for two weeks is a surefire way to rev that up!).

Khloe is reportedly 2 months pregnant and a source close to the Kardashian family said “Khloe was inspired by Kourtney having a baby.” The same source said: “They’re really happy, but Lamar is a little weary of exposing his baby on TV. He already doesn’t like his life being played out for everyone to see eight months of the year” although a seprate source claims that Khloe was trying to keep the news quiet until she could announce it on the show. Leave it to E! to turn the event into yet another reality show about the sisters (Kourtney and Khloe Take Motherhood?).

What kind of parents do you think these couples will be?
