Destiny Odom Is a Model Who Already Made Her Fashion Show Debut – Lamar Odom’s Daughter’s Pursuit of Success

Former NBA star Lamar Odom’s only daughter Destiny Odom is now a beautiful young woman, and she is determined to break into the fashion world as a model.

Destiny Odom is a determined and talented young lady who has grown up in very difficult circumstances due to her father, Lamar Odom’s fame. Being the daughter of an NBA star player turned out not to be an advantage and brought Destiny nothing but pain.

Almost a decade after her father’s heyday, Destiny has parlayed her unwanted notoriety into a shot at the life she wants and the dream she has been fighting for since she was a little girl: Becoming a model.

Destiny Odom was born on August 6, 1998, to NBA icon Lamar Odom and his long-time girlfriend, Liza Morales. She is their oldest child and only daughter. When Destiny was four, the couple welcomed their second child, Lamar Odom Jr.

Then, on December 15, 2005, another son, Jayden Odom, was born. Tragically, little Jayden passed away just six months later, and his death devastated his parents and siblings-especially Destiny, who was then eight years old.

Destiny Odom is a young woman with big dreams, but with her strength, and her father by her side, there is nothing she can’t achieve.

The baby’s death was the end of Liza and Lamar’s relationship, and in 2009 the NBA player married Khloe Kardashian. Having a reality star as a stepmom brought more media attention to Destiny and her little brother.
