Khloe Kardashian says estranged husband Lamar Odom has not been informed about the cause of his brain injury.
The 35-year-old basketball star is currently being treated at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles following a four-day drug and drink binge at a Nevada brothel.
The 31-year-old reality TV star discussed Odom's current health situation during an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", reported Aceshowbiz.
"Well, I can't tell him. We tell him that he had a brain injury, but we can't tell him how that brain injury was caused, because that will set him back," she said.
"He never asks why he's here. He's really confused a lot, sometimes he knows who the president is and his birthday, and sometimes he thinks he's 26, and I say I bet you wish you were 26, so do I!" she added.
She said that while the strokes Odom suffered, affected some of the parts of the brain, 'he is able to smile and laugh at appropriate times'.
On her decision to put the brakes on their divorce, Kardashian said, "I'm there helping him and I love him and I've always loved him. And that will never change. And I just feel like it's a really insensitive thing to fast-forward a divorce.
