Lamar Odom is taking a huge step because after four months of rehabilitation following a near fatal overdose, the former NBA star is finally making his first public appearance - and it's across the country!
On Wednesday, word got out that Odom would be attending Kanye West's Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show in New York City on Thursday, according to Us Weekly. This would mark his first major appearance following the scary hospitalization.
Shortly after sources confirmed this, Odom and his estranged wife Khloé Kardashian were seen boarding a private jet at Van Nuys Airport in L.A. around 9 p.m. on their way to NYC, according to TMZ. In the photos, Odom looks extremely healthy considering just months ago, doctors questioned whether or not he would even survive, let alone walk or talk again.
Odom is on his way to join the rest of the Kardashian family, including West's wife Kim, Kourtney, and Kylie and Kendall Jenner, who are already in NYC for NYFW. Kendall and Kylie have been there since the beginning of the week when they launched their Kendall + Kylie Collection in TriBeCa on Monday, with the help of big brother-in-law and fashion expert Kanye West.
Khloé and Houston Rockets player James Harden broke up earlier this week after about six months of dating, but she has been seen out and about looking happy since the split. Since Odom recently moved just blocks away from Khloé following his hospital release, the two have been spending time together while he makes his miraculous recovery.
"When Lamar isn't in physical therapy he is with Khloé," a source told E! News when she and Harden broke up. "They continue to be closer than ever. No one really knows what will happen with them in the future. [He] has a very positive attitude, Khloé is so proud of him. She encourages and motivates him every day."
