Wait, Are Khloe & Lamar Dating Again?

by Courtney Lindley

This could be big news, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom supporters. According to TMZ, the still-married couple went Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Friday night to enjoy dinner together. Reportedly, they hit up the early bird special, which makes sense considering Odom's still healing from last year's hospitalization, and it seems likely that the duo would still be trying to take things easy. But the big question isn't what time these two left the restaurant — it's if, since Kardashian and Odom are spending their Friday nights together, they're back on as a romantic couple. What's their deal these days?

It's not such an easy answer. The Friday night dinner isn't the first time in recent months that Kardashian and Odom have been spotted together. In February, they were seen at Kanye West's New York Fashion Week show, and just before that, Kim Kardashian Instagrammed a photo of the three of them on a walk together during Superbowl Sunday. It appears that Khloe and Lamar have developed a close friendship since his hospitalization, but if it's once again turned romantic is still unknown, although this steakhouse dinner certainly raises suspicions.

Regardless, though, Khloe's support for the former NBA star star has been sweet to watch, as she's been there for him every step of the way during his recovery. Though Odom's outcome initially looked dire, he's made huge strides in his health, and looks to be in far better shape than he was even in a few months back. It's hard to imagine that Khloe and her unending encouragement hasn't helped him along the road to recovery.

Personally, I'd love nothing more than to see these two celebs get back together and make things work. Though I'd settle for an endearing post-breakup best friendship, I know I'm not alone in rooting for a romantic reconciliation. Here's hoping this weekend's dinner is a sign of more Khloe-Lamar dates to come.
