Khloe Kardashian Drops Odom From Twitter Handle

Speculation has been mounting that Khloe Kardashian is preparing to divorce hubby Lamar Odom, after the reality TV star dropped his surname from her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The 29-year-old is now known as Khloé on Twitter, but with "KhloeKardashian" in brackets afterwards. There is no sign of her wayward spouse's surname either there or on Instagram.

ABC News quotes a Kardashian rep on the Instagram change, which was made first: "She took off Kardashian and Odom on her bio only. Her Instagram handle has ALWAYS been just Kardashian to match her Twitter name — so both of her names are @KhloeKardashian. They always have been but, yes, in her bio she removed both of her last names. So it simply says Khloé."

But rumours have been circulating that the TV personality and her family have finally run out of patience with former NBA star Odom - who is now reported to be living apart from her and back on drugs.

Odom has publicly denied having a drug problem and apparently left rehab after one night, but did recently leap to defend the Kardashians from his own father on Twitter.
