For the past year, there have been rumors that the couple are having marital challenges. Earlier this year, Khloe Kardashian, told Jay Leno:

They’re not having problems, but they still like to live apart, which is definitely different. You know, Bruce and my mom, they wanted some… In my house there is a man room for [Lamar Odom]. A room, not a different house. So I think they took my idea and ran with it. They got another house and Bruce stays there sometimes.”

Viewers of their popular show, Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s, have also witnessed potential signs leading to divorce court.
