The Kardashians were completely blindsided by the announcement of Caitlyn Jenner and Lamar Odom’s new podcast, and the famous family feared what would be discussed, insiders said.
The former NBA star, who was married to Khloe Kardashian, and the famous Olympian, who was married to Kris Jenner, announced last week that they are coming together for a sports podcast titled Keeping Up With Sports.
The name of the program is a very obvious tribute to Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and will see the couple working together again for the first time since appearing on shows alongside their famous reality TV family.
However, they appear to have done little to prepare their ex-spouses for the new business move, with a source telling DailyMail.com: ‘This caught the family by surprise and they feel they will definitely be talked about on the podcast.
“The only thing they might have in common is that they are both outcasts of the Kardashian family.
The Kardashian family was reportedly blindsided by the announcement of Caitlyn Jenner and Lamar Odom’s new podcast.
The former NBA star, who was married to Khloe Kardashian, and the famous Olympian, who was married to Kris Jenner, announced that they would be reuniting for a sports podcast.
‘Caitlyn will do anything to try to upstage Kris or upset her, but this is the strangest one of them all.
“Caitlyn is devastated by her shattered relationship with the children she helped raise, but she knows it’s partly her fault.”
The source added: “Lamar also knows it’s his fault for losing Khloé, but to this day he talks about her.”
The basketball star, 44, drew attention last week when he left a public comment on his ex-wife’s birthday post for her reclusive brother, Rob Kardashian.
He wrote, ‘My family,’ beneath the lengthy post in which Khloe gushed about her brother and ‘the relationship our children get to have.’
Lamar and Rob had a close bond while filming episodes of the short-lived spinoff series, Khloe & Lamar, from 2011 to 2012.
However, their relationship suffered after Khloé and Lamar broke up due to his drug use and infidelity.
The source claimed that Lamar’s recent attempts to rebuild a relationship with the family could be damaged by the podcast.

“Lamar just commented ‘my family’ on a birthday post Khloe made for her brother Rob, which shows where his head is at,” the source claimed.
“He has it in his mind that one day he could be with her again and he will spend his life trying.”
They continued: ‘But doing a podcast with Caitlyn is not the way. Everyone knows she’ll get grades for a second and then tank.
“If it’s not his fault, Kris will have him shut down backstage.”
Caitlyn, 74, was Khloe’s stepfather while Lamar was married to the reality star and they both starred on several seasons of the popular E! reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians together.

The event is known to have been Lamar’s first public appearance since a near-fatal overdose in October 2015, after he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.
