Lamar Odom has a strictly platonic friendship with transgender actress Daniielle Alexis despite dating rumors.

Rumors began swirling about the nature of their relationship after Daniielle posted an Instagram selfie with Lamar last month.
‘One of the most beautiful humans I’ve met,’ the Australian actress wrote, and for good measure she added a couple of emojis including a pair of hearts.
Daniielle posted two more selfies with Lamar this week – and in one of them she turned towards him and puckered her lips as he pouted towards the camera.
‘It’s always blessings from us,’ she wrote with praying hands and heart emojis. ‘Lamar says hi this morning to everyone too #lamarodom #daniiellealexis.’

Now insiders have told TMZ that Lamar and Daniielle first met in June when she approached him for an autograph in Los Angeles.
Lamar, who was in town to attend the BET Awards, swapped phone numbers with Dannielle and remained in contact with her.
The former Laker eventually moved back to Los Angeles from Georgia and went out to lunch with Daniielle, albeit platonically.
Apparently their conversations typically revolve around show business, understandably given Dannielle’s acting ambitions.

Lamar’s turbulent love life has been the subject of blistering scrutiny over the years, particularly his failed marriage to Khloe Kardashian.
The onetime couple, who released a joint perfume called Unbreakable Bond, were rocked by his infidelities until she filed for divorce in 2013.
Two years later Lamar was found unconscious at a Las Vegas brothel and slipped into a coma but survived despite multiple heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.Â
Khloe and Lamar were in the process of getting divorced when the overdose occurred but she still rushed to his bedside amid his health crisis.Â

She withdrew her divorce petition – but only so that she was legally authorized to make decisions for him while he was incapacitated.
They eventually did finalize their split in 2016, ending a process that had begun when she separated from him back in 2013.
His dating history after Khloe has included fitness trainer Sabrina Parr, whom he got engaged to in 2019 before their breakup at the end of 2020.Â

Lamar has since described the relationship as ‘toxic’ and ‘abusive,’ saying that ‘the dysfunction in me was addicted to the abuse’ and insisting that he left her.
Meanwhile Sabrina, who says she was the one who broke the engagement, is telling her side of the story in an upcoming book called The Freedom In Walking Away.
Lamar shares his children Destiny, 24, and Lamar Jr, 20, with his ex Liza Morales, with whom he also welcomed a baby son called Jayden whom they lost tragically to sudden infant death syndrome in 2006.
