It’s clear Sabrina has been a loving influence in Lamar’s life and a big reason why the former addict has found a way to maintain sobriety and balance. Even though the father of three has recently been open during interviews about his past relationships with Taraji P. Henson and Khloe Kardashian, it’s clear he has found a new home in his current partner.
Odom shared this message about Sabrina on social media explaining his commitment to her:
“The look on @getuptoparr face is how she makes me feel everyday. Outside of my daughter, this is the most serious and committed relationship I’ve ever been in with a woman. I’m tired of people asking me questions about my ex’s based on old interviews and old comments! I said what I said then based on where I was in life at that time. I was young, wasn’t sober and going through a lot. All of that is different now. I’m at where I want to be at!”
