Lamar Odom's son, Lamar Morales-Odom Jr., was initially taken aback by his dad's engagement news but said that ultimately he only has good wishes for his father.
The former NBA star dropped a bombshell on Monday, revealing on social media that he was engaged to personal trainer Sabrina Parr.
"Last night I was emotional seeing my father got engaged through social media," 17-year-old Lamar Jr. wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday following the announcement. "I was hurt and caught off guard."

He continued: "At the end of the day, I am a teenager, that is becoming a young man. I have to be responsible for what I post, I have nothing but love for my dad and want what’s best for him."
According to E! News, the younger Odon's statement comes after a since-deleted comment screenshotted by The Shade Room that allegedly detailed his frustration.
Per Us Weekly, Odom's 21-year-old daughter, Destiny, has not spoken about her father's engagement publicly.
Meanwhile, a source told the outlet that "Lamar’s family didn’t know he was proposing."
