Lamar Odom has seemingly embarked on a new romantic venture, as he was spotted enjoying a date night with Rachel Bradley at a Los Angeles Lakers game on April 12.

Odom, aged 46, made headlines with a lively Instagram Reel posted on April 13, showcasing his outing with Bradley. The video captures the pair amiably walking through the arena, with Odom affectionately wrapping his arm around Bradley, who is a Los Angeles-based real estate agent. The caption, “I’m back!” accompanied the post, highlighting his enthusiasm for both his relationship and the game.
In the shared segment, Bradley also took to her own social media platform to display their budding romance. It appears that Bradley, who has added Odom’s initials to her Instagram bio, is embracing their connection wholeheartedly, sharing posts that feature a collage with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and various courtside selfies alongside the former basketball star.
During their recent outing in Los Angeles, Odom was seen cheerfully gesturing towards the camera while Bradley, behind the wheel of a Mercedes G-Wagon, drew attention as they concluded a meal together. Their venture appears to reflect a sincere companionship, with the couple content to showcase their affection publicly.
Just days prior to their evening at the Lakers game, Odom and Bradley posted a photograph featuring actor Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King Crews, captioning it with sentiments of honour in meeting the celebrity couple. Such interactions highlight Odom’s socially vibrant life, as he continues to reconnect with various individuals while navigating his new relationship.
The former NBA star’s dating life comes at a time when he has been busy promoting his recent Netflix documentary episode titled “Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom.” The documentary includes candid discussions with his ex-wife, Khloé Kardashian, who has been a prominent figure in his past. During an interview on the programme “Today” featuring Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones, Odom described the reunion as “awkward,” acknowledging the challenges of revisiting old relationships.
Despite navigating through complex emotions, Odom expressed that familial ties are enduring. He stated, “once you’re family, you’re always family, so she ain’t going nowhere,” when discussing his relationship with Kardashian. It was clear from his comments that, although he harbours love for her, the prospect of rekindling a romantic relationship is not on the horizon.
Odom shares two adult children, Destiny and LJ, from his previous relationship with Liza Morales. Tragically, the couple lost their son Jayden to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) when he was just six and a half months old. Morales spoke to PEOPLE shortly after the documentary’s release, stating that she and Odom would “always be family,” reflecting a sense of mutual respect for the journey they have shared.
As Odom continues to attract attention both on and off the court, his relationship with Bradley signifies a new chapter in his life. With a mix of personal growth, professional commitments, and newfound love, Odom seems to be embracing the present while holding onto the lessons of his past. This latest development not only marks a fresh start for him but also captures the interest of fans eager to follow his journey.
