The trailer for the upcoming sixth season of The Kardashians featured the former NBA player making a surprise appearance. Given his rocky relationship with Khloé – whom he divorced in 2016 – fans were shocked to see this reunion, wondering how it could have happened.

This weekend, Odom made an appearance on the Kyle & Jackie O Showduring which he revealed how his appearance on the reality show went.

“Me and Khloe have a mutual friend, her name is Malika (Haqq),” Lamar began, according to AND! News. “I met her in Las Vegas, I think it was Super Bowl weekend. She came up to me and said, 'You know Lamar, I think it's time for you and Khloe… it's been years. You haven't seen it if you're up for it. I think I could do it.

While he was ready for a reunion, the former Los Angeles Laker admitted he was surprised the moment was caught on camera.

“I went there and there were cameras there,” the 45-year-old said. “It’s cool, I understand.”

Despite his public lust for her after their split, Lamar shut down the idea that their reunion had anything to do with rekindling their romance.

“I wouldn't say we get back together,” he told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O. “It would be a blessing to be her friend.”

“So much time has passed,” he continued. “And people change. I think sometimes it's healthy to move on. In a healthy way. Like I said, it would be a blessing to be her friend just to be with her.

Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, just a month after they met. The reality star first filed for divorce in 2013, after years of cheating allegations, but put the proceedings on hold in 2015 after Lamar's near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel. After his recovery, the couple dissolved their marriage in 2016.

The sixth season of The Kardashians will premiere on Hulu on February 6.
