Lamar Odom "always" speaks to Khloe Kardashian.

The basketball player was served divorce papers from the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star in December following months of rumours he was addicted to crack cocaine and cheated on her with several different women, but he insists they are still in regular contact.

"I always speak to Khloe. She's my wife," he said.

Lamar is relocating to Spain to play basketball with the Spanish franchise Laboral Kutxa, and he credits the support he received from Bruce Jenner - who split from Khloe's mother Kris Jenner after 22 years of marriage in October - with his making the move to get his career back on track. "Bruce is... he means a lot to me. Bruce is one of the reasons why I am going to do this. And of course my family. They stood by me," he said.

Lamar - who is still wearing his wedding ring - also confirmed he is still in touch with his estranged mother-in-law: "I left Kris a message today. [I'm] always texting back and forth with Bruce. Hopefully they'll be able to come see me soon."
