Headscarf and happy marriage: Khloe Kardashian arrived back at LAX today to support husband Lamar Odom after his difficult week


In the last episode of Kim and Kourtney take New York, Kris Humphries held Khloe Kardashian up as a role model to her sister.

The 26-year-old Nets star told Kim, 31, that she should be more like her younger sister, who left Miami to be with her LA Lakers star husband Lamar Odom.

And today, the 27-year-old was again the paragon of virtue when it came to wifely duties as she jetted back to LA to support Lamar, 32.


Khloe had been attending parties in New York, but her husband has had an awful week after the Lakers tried to trade him with the New Orleans Hornets.

That deal was stopped by the NBA but left Lamar feeling unwanted by the legendary California side, and yesterday he was late for the first day of the season's practice session.

Odom reported more than 90 minutes late to the start of practice and did not stay long.

'To me, I would think it's better to stay away,' Odom told The Los Angeles Times. 'You know, the energy and all. I don't know how it's going to go right now. It's a little weird.'

A move to New Orleans would be difficult, as the couple are currently undergoing IVF treatment according to Us Weekly.

'She is desperate for a baby with Lamar and will do whatever it takes,' a friend of the couple told the magazine. 'They have faith the IVF will work.'

Khloe, who looked ultra-glamorous as she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday, is reported to have had several consultations about IVF treatment and is taking pre-natal vitamins.

IVF costs around $10,000 to $15,000 per treatment.

Model wife: Khloe has been parting in New York


A source close to the couple told the publication that Khloe and 32-year-old Lamar 'have been trying everything to get pregnant but nothing works.'

And the news that Kourtney is expecting a brother or sister to son Mason, only highlighted the fact that Khloe is not yet pregnant herself.

'She's thrilled for Kourtney, but she's really sensitive,' another source said. 'And it's hard to see your sister get something you want so badly.'

The star is feeling under pressure to become pregnant.

She told the magazine in the spring: 'People keep saying "Why aren't you pregnant yet?'

'That's what scares me, when people are like, "Did you go to the doctor? Do you know if everything's working?" It's nerve-racking. Sometimes I feel like I'm letting everyone down.'

Trying: Khloe and husband Lamar Odom are hoping to start a family


The reality star is also stepmother to Lamar's children from a previous relationship - 13-year-old Destiny and Lamar Jr, 10.

Although the sports star's children live in New York, Khloe has a good relationship with them and keeps in touch via Twitter.

She also 'loves being an aunt' to nephew Mason, two, and is often spotted carrying the youngster while filming the family's many reality shows.

The Kardashian and Jenner family have also lent their support to Khloe, with little sisters Kendall and Kylie also hoping for a niece of nephew.

'They always say "You've got to have a baby. It'll be so cute and tall, and we'll babysit," Khloe told Us. I'm like "You've got to get off my back."'

Even family matriarch Kris Jenner has had words of reassurance for her third daughter, despite once calling her daughters 'stingy' for not providing more grandchildren.

'Maybe she thought I was having a bad day,' Khloe recalled. 'But she starts telling me that when she and Bruce first met, they were trying to have kids and it took her five years to get pregnant with Kendall.

She was just like 'With certain people, it just takes a minute.'

However, when or if Khloe and Lamar do have children, the star won't be carrying on her mother's tradition of names beginning with 'K'.

'I definitely want some L names,' she admits.

A representative for Khloe Kardashian did not immediately respond when contacted by Mail Online for comment..
