AFTER months of speculation, Khloe Kardashian is ending her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom.
The reality TV star filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. She also wants her last name restored to Kardashian from Kardashian Odom.
According to Radar Online, the couple signed an "iron-clad" prenup, in which Odom waived any claims to his 29-year-old wife’s fortune - estimated at around $US18 million ($20.1 million).
Kardashian is also expected to retain the couple’s $US4 million mansion, her $US1 million engagement ring and all jewelry and gifts given to her during the course of their marriage.
The divorce filing comes days after Odom pleaded no contest on Monday to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge.
The 34-year-old athlete was arrested last August after his Mercedes-Benz SUV was seen weaving on an LA freeway.
He seemed to address rumors of personal problems when he tweeted a cryptic message in September, saying he had been "Seeing the Snakes."
Only the Kardashian family, Odom said then, was standing by him.
Kardashian posted her emotional musings on love to Instagram last week, writing "Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love."
And on Thursday she posted the message: "I am strong because I’ve been weak. I am fearless because I’ve been afraid. I am wise because I’ve been foolish."
Odom, a 6-foot-10-inch power forward, has been out of the NBA since going unsigned as a free agent after a miserable season last year.
He last played for the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2012-13 season, averaging a career-low 4.0 points and 5.9 rebounds. Clippers coach Doc Rivers met with him last month, but apparently nothing came of those talks.
Odom had his best years with the Los Angeles Lakers between 2004 and 2011. The team won NBA championships in 2010 and 2011 and Odom won the NBA's sixth man award during that second championship run.
Kardashian, 29, is best known for starring with her sisters Kim and Kourtney, and her mother, Kris Jenner, in the long-running reality TV series Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
She also runs an upscale clothing store with her sisters and was featured in the short-lived reality series with Odom, called Khloe & Lamar.
The two were married in 2009 in a large ceremony that was taped for the E! network, following a whirlwind engagement that was also filmed.
