Reality star Khloe Kardashian, and her boyfriend, NBA star Lamar Odom tied the knot last Sunday, September 27th. If you hadn’t heard about it, you must have been out of town for a month, because that’s just about how long they had been dating before deciding to take the plunge. It’s Hollywood, people, to them that’s a lifetime.
There is a lot of controversy swirling around the nuptials, including the claims that the wedding isn’t legal, but will be once the prenup is hammered out by the two’s lawyers, the fact that the wedding was done so hastily without the prenup because the TV channel E!, agreed to foot the $1 million bill if the wedding happened on Sunday, and even that the Kardashian family found out about the wedding on the radio, and Odom’s family is not supportive.
I rehash these things, not because I care, but because it sets the stage for the bigger issue here. Lamar has 2 kids by an ex-girlfriend, Liza Morales, who is not shy about airing her displeasure with this union to the media.
Liza told TMZ before the wedding she would not permit her children to attend.
Liza told RadarOnline.com that not only did she find out about the quickie wedding via text, but that Lamar has been sending everyone mixed signals, and it’s effecting the kids:
“In August this year he was talking to me about rekindling our relationship and being a family again but I told him that our two kids, Destiny and Lamar Jr, are getting older and I didn’t want to confuse them any further. Unfortunately, he hasn’t actually seen them in the past three months and when it comes to being a father it’s time that he really stepped up to the plate in that respect.”
In the media, no one cares about the kids because its all dresses! and scandals! and celebrities! but the only news worthy piece I see here is that these children missed out on their father’s wedding.
The custody arrangement between Odom and Morales is unknown, but it is safe to assume the Odom is allowed to be an active participant in these children’s lives. Did their mother make the right decision keeping the kids from the wedding? Or should they have been permitted to attend their father’s wedding no matter how their mother felt about it? What would you have done?
