Is Khloe Kardashian’s marriage in crisis because of fertility issues?

I have something to admit to all of you: my mother is a HUGE fan of Khloe & Lamar’s show. She’s also all about Ice Loves Coco. She loves the shows to the point where she starts conversations with “My boy Ice…” and “Lamar is just such a decent man…” I mean… sure, I’ll watch Ice Loves Coco if nothing else is on, and I usually end up enjoying it too. As for Khloe and Lamar… well, they’re my favorites amongst the flock of famewhores. I think people are too harsh on Khloe, and I buy that she and Lamar have a surprisingly strong marriage. But I do worry about them – Lamar seems to be having a really rough year, personally and professionally, and Khloe is still struggling to get pregnant – she’s been trying for years. To add to the drama, Star Magazine keeps running reports about their marriage being in serious trouble:

Khloe and Lamar’s marriage is holding on by a thread, according to a new report. Lamar’s partying with strippers and Khloe’s infertility have driven a wedge between the former lovebirds. Here’s why!

Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom have a lot more trouble in their lives than just losing basketball games. The reality couple is reportedly at a “point of no return” in their marriage and friends tell Star that they fear this is the end of their blissful union.

“Khloe viewed his actions as cheating,” a source says in reference to his strip club outing. “She felt violated.”

But to make matters worse, the source claims that they never have sex unless it’s when they’re trying for a baby.

“Lamar is getting tired of her obsessing over [having a baby],” the source reveals. “They’re only intimate now they they schedule sex.”

Lamar and Khloe had to uproot their lives in LA after Lamar was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, and now Lamar is reportedly depressed over the trade.

“Khloe put on a brave face and prayed that a new beginning in Dallas would be good for their marriage,” the source adds. “Sadly things have only gotten worse. Lamar is super depressed and Khloe is really having trouble handling his emotional issues.”

HollywoodLife.com told you that insiders are concerned that Lamar is focusing too much on reality TV and in turn it’s hurting his basketball career. Plus, a source told us that they were spending too much time together in Dallas, which was also adding stress.

It’s weird because Khloe just opened up about their baby-making issues in an interview this week. Khloe said: “Lamar and I definitely want children, but I felt pressured by my mom and my sister.” She also said that she was trying to cheer up Lamar during the NBA lockout and “He’d had a loss in his family over the summer, which of course affected him very much, and my brother moved out and it was very depressing in our house. I was trying to make the house fun, but you can’t tell that from the episode — people just think I’m sex-crazed!” But Khloe says she’s not making sex into a job, and that she and Lamar go at it “three to five times a week.” So… I don’t know. I think Khloe and Lamar are fine. We’ll see.

    i like them together, so i hope this is not true.

    • Jessica says:

      I agree with you… I wish them fertility!! Girl needs to drink some green tea – that worked for me and my sister!

  2. Jackie says:

    I’ve been dealing with it for almost 7 years. It does take a toll on your marriage. Sometimes you just have to stop for a while and remember what’s important. Infertility is easily the biggest thing we’ve taken on in our marriage and it comes as no surprise that it is straining their marriage. Good luck to them. I know what it’s like.

      a big cyber hug & best wishes Jackie

    • normades says:

      I hear ya Jackie, infertility is hard on a couple. I have been there. 5 years of “unexplained” infertility and 1 miscarriage.

      This natural treatment helped me:

      Best of luck to you.

    • sugar says:

      I can totally relate as well. I was married for 4 years and from day one I suspected I might have fertility issues. we tried natural, AI, and IVF. your body takes such a toll. my husband was fairly high profile as a musician and so was on the road a lot which led us on the path of “scheduled sex” as well and it’s terrible. I highly recommend to her acupuncture and chinese herbal teas specifically to target increased blood flow to the uterus and fallopian tubes. also, check your medical history!! if you’ve ever had your cervix frozen or anything of that nature, it could seriously be prohibiting your ability to conceive because procedures like that destroy the cervical mucus glands. most fertility doctors won’t explore enough into those things because they want the money and will just keep their cookie cutter approach as they charge $10k plus per procedure vs. individually evaluating full medical history and effects.

    • phlyfiremama says:

      Please, all of you ladies trying to get pregnant and having issues doing so: consider an integrative approach including Acupuncture & Chinese herbs, knowing your functional nutritional status & supplementing any deficiencies with high quality bioavailable products, and yoga. Infertility is rarely ever just one thing~it is a combination of circumstances that when added together stop the body from doing its baby making function. I am a licensed Acupuncturist living in Houston, and I KNOW that it helps on several different levels. Don’t give up hope~and before you fork over $10,000 and up for in vitro treatment make sure your body is primed & ready to produce, implant, and retain a healthy fetus.

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        There is hope! My cousins baby just turned two. They tried for almost twenty years. The doc told them to give up trying and get a dog. One month after the pressure was off they were pregnant. He is a joy and came at the right time. She’s now dealing with double breast cancer. It’s all going to be fine and she got her heart’s greatest wish, I would have carried for her but I had an early emergent hysterectomy.

    • Tansey says:

      Agreed. My husband and I have been dealing with infertility for 9 years now so I can definitely relate to them. While I’m not a fan of any of the Kardashians, I don’t wish infertility in anyone, as it’s definitely one of the worst, most heartbreaking and depressing things a couple can go through. Honestly, I wish the tabloids would stop harping on Khloe’s fertility issues. It’s stressful enough dealing with it when you’re dealing with it as a non-famous person with privacy, and I can’t imagine what it’s like to constantly be reminded “hey, you’re not pregnant yet!” in the press.

      I wish these two all the luck in the world.

    • It is ME!! says:

      To Jackie and all the other ladies struggling with infertility: my husband and I went through it for 4 years, and this past January, I had our beautiful baby girl. Keep your heads up, it can happen for you. I know the road is long, but always move forward and think positive.

      Much love!!

  3. birdie says:

    It’s weird, but I really want her to have a baby. It must have been hard for her that Kourtney gets pregnant so easily. I wish them a baby very soon.

  4. PG says:

    I call BS on this story. This is just a ratings ploy. Khloe is no different than the rest of her vulgar family.

  5. Shelly says:

    Khloe was my favorite. Until I went to a VIP meet & greet for an event she was hosting a few weeks ago, one that I BOUGHT meet & greet tickets for (don’t judge, lol). So me and my two girlfriends get there and were told she would be doing the meet & greet in a private area of the venue (well, private in the fact that it is members only). One of my girlfriends is a member of this place, so we hung out in there at the bar until her scheduled time to appear, which was to be 9:15. 9:30 rolls around, and we see people start holding their camera phones up and moving toward one area of the room. Khloe had come out. Only it was NO meet & greet. She basically walked through the room with her bodyguards as the crowd mobbed her. For like 2 minutes. She just walked through the room, didn’t stop, nothing. NO MEET & GREET AT ALL. Was total BS. We asked the event organizers what was going on and were told she would be back out to do an organized meet & greet. Only she never did. She even left early. We complained and got our bar tabs comped, but my point is that she didn’t fulfill her obligations to those of us who purchased expensive meet & greet tickets. And she left early. I no longer like her and no longer think she is better than any of the rest of her family. She’s just the same, maybe even worse. The only good thing I have to say about her is that in person she is very skinny and very pretty. The camera does not do her justice at all. Other than that, it was a huge waste of time. Seriously – a Khloe event WITHOUT Khloe. WTF?!

    • KATY says:

      Shelly – was this the event that was held at the House of Blues in Dallas a few weeks ago? I kept hearing the ads for it on the radio. Was there a lot of people there? I just wondered how successful something like that would be in Dallas….you know, the whole fame-whore thing. I had a feeling it was going to be a bunch of crap. I’ve heard she hates living in Dallas. Sorry you wasted your money for nothing!!

      • Shelly says:

        Katy – yes, it was that event. A ton of people showed up. She is popular here, only because most of Dallas are wannabes, lol (I can say that because I’m not originally from here, I only live here, ha!). What’s interesting is the next day I see photos of her IN the Foundation Room (where we were) – but there were no “common” people around and the pics were only with media types. She must have taken those BEFORE the event. She also was tweeting that night what a “great” time she was having! My friends and I were like “bitch, please! How is it fun when you are in a holding room by yourself with bodyguards?!”. I talked to other people at the event and the ONLY people who even got to meet her or get an autograph were people who knew the manager and knew when she was showing up to the venue. She did not do a meet & greet and then tweeted that she did. She is a phony FRAUD.

    • Dusty says:

      She is a celebrity that is all. She hasn’t done anything heroic in her life like fight in a war or save a life or find the cure for cancer. Her job is being a celebrity. Now “us” on the other hand, we toil every day at our jobs, trying to make ends meet. Please explain why do people idolize folks like Khloe and sisters whose lifestyles make a mockery of our hard work and efforts to sustain our families. Don’t idolize false gods.

  6. Talie says:

    I’ve seen this happen to couples who can’t have children and I always think…There’s this thing, it’s called ADOPTION. I know some people want their *own* kids, but c’mon. If you want to be a parent, it shouldn’t matter.

    • Naye in VA says:

      nothing wrong with wanting bio kids, i just dont think it should ruin your life and marriage. Yea it would be sad not to have bio kids, but it would be more sad to me that there wouldnt be any minis of my spouse running around. i couldnt leave him/her for that. i would want to see my man as a father in any capacity, and im sure my love would grow to find that he could love someone not made from his loins. i really hope they survive this.

    • Melissa says:

      I know a couple that broke up over infertility. She wanted to adopt and he didn’t so they broke up. It was very sad – everybody liked them, they were “the fun couple”.

    • Michelle says:

      Adoption can cost upwards of $20K. Sure she has that money but adoption isn’t without heartbreak and stress as well.

    • Ycnan says:

      Adoption isn’t easy either.

    • Jackie says:

      I am opposed to newborn and international adoption because of the level of corruption. I have looked into adoption through foster care and did start some of the classes and it is not for the faint of heart.

  7. Naye in VA says:

    i sincerely hope they make it. i also hope that they realize that there are other options for having children non-biologically. If they were to adopt that would absolutely seal my love for them.

  8. dorothy says:

    I hope this isn’t true. They are by far the more normal of all the Kardashian clan.

  9. Happymom says:

    Let’s see: her family is completely dysfunctional and they’re all in each other’s business, she and Lamar knew each other for about 5 minutes before they got married, he’s a pro-ball player, they live in LA, their entire relationship and their whole lives have been played out for television shows, he got cut from his team, his father is a drug addict, they had to move to a different state, and they’re having fertility issues. How can their marriage not be in trouble?

  10. Lemmy says:

    He has two kids, so I don’t think he is that desperate for a kid. With all the problems that’s listed, a baby is not going to fix them. Baby do add a lot of stress. A lady in the office I work with thought having a baby would help her and her finance relationship but it has made it worst and now he is days away from walking out on her. When will women learn a baby can’t fix an already troubled relationship. I think it’s really the show that khloe and Kris Jenner think a baby will save.

    • normades says:

      This is so true. A baby band-aid helps only in the beginning when mamma is preggers and the dad is “excited”, once the kid is actually there it puts a lot of stress on even the best of couples.

  11. Jenna says:

    I thought my mom was in the only one in love with Ice Loves Coco. LOL. Anywho, call me crazy but I actually like these two together. 🙂

  12. Gene Parmesan says:

    Ice loves Coco is surprisingly warm hearted, funny and enjoyable. It just goes to show that you can’t really judge people by appearance alone. Before the show, Coco was this nasty looking plastic doll to me. But she is such a sweetheart and she and Ice have an amazing thing together. More power to them

    • Orange Cone says:

      Lamar already has children so I dont really understand the NEED to try so hard to have (a) child(ren) RIGHT NOW?

  13. Ren says:

    Didn’t they know each other for a month before getting married? Looks like two and a half years later the honeymoon is over! Shocking! Not really haha

  14. Stacie says:

    I hope this is not true but a LOT of couples go through this when dealing with Infertility. This makes me sad for them and other couples .

  15. Maxx says:

    This has Pimp Mama Kris written all over it…. guess now that this PETA thing is dying down time to turn our attention to another one of her attention whores
    *distant laughter all the way to the bank* smh

  16. Bopa says:

    I doubt fertility is the issue unless it’s Lamar causing the technical difficulties. Lamar already has 2 kids so it’s not as if he is strongly pining for more. I believe he’s finally wised up that teams believe the Kardashian hoopla is distracting him. They don’t want Kardash backlash to effect their teams. Getting traded and then pushed to the D league (although momentarily) was embarrassing for him. Top players get benched not pushed to the D league unless the team is trying to send a message.
