Odom and Morales met when they were in the ninth grade at a Queens, New York high school. Morales remained by Odom’s side as his basketball career soared. During their relationship, the couple had three children, and Morales wanted to marry Odom. However, Odom didn’t want to marry Morales until he was ready to retire from the NBA. In addition to his battle with drug and sex addictions, Odom cheated on Morales multiple times, which was one reason for their breakup. 

In an essay for the Daily Beast, Morales claimed that her final straw with Odom came in 2009. During this time, Odom and Kardashian married after 30 days of knowing each other. Morales said she found out her longtime partner proposed to Kardashian through a text message Odom sent her days before his nuptials before their televised wedding. 

“I don’t think I’ll forget the tight knot I felt in the pit of my stomach the morning I received the text message with three simple words on the screen. It read ‘I’m getting married’ and it was from the man I’d spent more than 10 years of my life with. Years that included us getting engaged in 2000 and becoming parents to one daughter and two sons,” Morales wrote. “Yet not long after our separation Lamar Odom was getting married to Khloé Kardashian, a woman he’d met four weeks before. How could the man who’d constantly given me reason after reason for why we couldn’t get married just yet now be ready to tie the knot so quickly? There aren’t words to explain how I felt that day.”
