It’s the Kardashian-origin collab we never saw coming. Khloe Kardashian’s former stepparent and her ex-husband are reuniting for an unexpected venture, a brand new sports-themed podcast. Jenner, a former Olympian, and Odom, a retired NBA pro, are an unconventional but entertaining combination. They were also fun when they were still in the Kardashian fold. But how does KoKo&Co. feel about this pair? Apparently, pretty good.
Sources close to the KarJenners as well as the two new podcasters confirmed to TMZ that they have Khloe and the family’s blessing. When reports of the podcast surfaced last month, rumors swirled that Odom’s and Jenner’s respective ex-wives were blindsided. However, it appears that’s not the case.
Caitlyn and Kris Jenner remain cordial for their daughters and grandkids. Caitlyn was also the closest to Khloe among his stepchildren. Meanwhile, despite their divorce, Odom has remained in the family fold, unlike any other KarJenner ex. He even leaves sweet messages under the reality stars’ social media posts.

Odom and Jenner’s podcast will reportedly be called, Keeping Up With Sports, as a nod to the flagship launching pad of the KarJenners, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. If that doesn’t speak of the family’s approval, nothing does.

Sources close to Caitlyn told the news outlet that she spoke to her former stepdaughter upfront about collaborating with Odom. She was equally supportive of the venture. She also thought that they’re a great combination to talk about sports.

Caitlyn also reportedly kept a policy of full disclosure with Kim Kardashian and her youngest daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Kris Jenner reportedly didn’t respond but there’s allegedly no tension between them. The family also are secure about no tea being spilled because the former athletes are going to stick to sports exclusively.
That hasn’t stopped Odom from implying he’d like to work with Khloe through this podcast. In the meantime, they’re dipping into the famous KarJenner social circle. The first episode will feature Sugar Ray Leonard, a known personal friend of Kris Jenner and Khloe’s famous godfather. More guests from basketball and UFC are lined up for upcoming episodes.

So far the podcast has elicited mixed reactions from fans who think they’re riding the Kardashian bandwagon. Khloe’s ex-husband and former stepparent, though, were a fun combination and fans are excited to have them in one show together.
