Introducing my new fiancé!! Soon to be Mrs. Parr-Odom. She the ONE!!!! @getuptoparr
- The couple is taking the next step in their relationship after they sparked romance rumors back in August.
- Odom captioned the post: “Introducing my new fiancé…Soon to be Mrs. Parr-Odom. She the ONE!!!!” Parr who is a health and life coach also shared the news showing off her ring, saying, “I SAID YES!!!!!”
- Many of Odom’s famous friends and his loved ones congratulated the NBA star on his engagement. Despite this, one person who wasn’t happy about the news was Odom’s 17-year-old son. He said he was hurt and caught off guard by the news.
- Lamar Morales-Odom Jr found out that his father was engaged via social media. Odom Jr shared a throwback photo of him, his father and sister Destiny Morales-Odom and wrote the caption, “Last night I was emotional seeing my father got engaged through social media.” Odom Jr goes on to say, “At the end of the day, I am a teenager, that is becoming a young man, I have to be responsible for what I post, I have nothing but love for my dad and want what’s best for him.”
- According to The Shaderoom, before Odom Jr shared his post on Instagram, he aired out his frustrations with his father in a now-deleted comment. “Not a text or phone call to see how people who’ve known this dude his whole life to see how we would feel or react, Knew shawty for 4 months and already got you twisted, fam n friends already don’t approve of homegirl but she already got your ass ina sunken place. Shame family gotta find out on social media but that’s been how life been all the time as a son of an Odom.”

- Odom Jr’s sister has yet to comment.
- A source says that Odom kept his engagement private, and only shared the moment with Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Nene Leakes and her husband Gregg Leakes.
- After the engagement, both couples went to celebrate at Prime 112 in Miami.
- This marriage will be Odom’s second marriage. He was previously married to reality star Khloe Kardashian from 2009 to 2016. The two remain on good terms even after Odom’s almost fatal overdose. A source told E! News that Kardashian is happy for her ex-husband. “Khloe wants Lamar to be happy. She has always had hope that he would find his way and live a long and healthy life,” a source revealed. “She’s happy for him if he has found happiness again. The chapter of her life that she shared with Lamar is closed and she has moved on. She harbors no ill will or jealousy.”
Despite the disapproval of some, at least Odom seems happy.
