The former athlete further discussed his cheating in his memoir 2019 memoir, Darkness to Light: A Memoir.
He wrote: "For a while, being with her was bliss and I was the happiest I've ever been. We were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood and we made more money together than we had individually.

"It was like two years, or like a year or two of us trying to get the divorce going and then this happened."
Khloe continued: "And then we paused the divorce, not for any romantic reasons but I wanted to be able to help take care of him and make sure that he would be OK again."
