Count Kim Kardashian among those who are whole-heartedly hoping for Khloé Kardashian Odom's marriage to succeed.

A source tells E! News that Kim was "shocked" to learn that brother-in-law Lamar Odom had struggled with substance abuse—information that Khloé only recently disclosed to the rest of her family.

But now that she knows, Kim is being "very supportive," the insider says. "She only wants what's best for Khloé."

E! confirmed yesterday that Khloé and Lamar are not separated and that, contrary to various reports, the NBA player was "never missing" and had been with his wife.

Kim "would like to see them work it out," the source adds. "She knows how much they love each other. Everyone in the family feels divorce should be the last option."

Khloé was photographed on Monday wearing her massive diamond wedding ring, and Lamar was spotted today behind the wheel of his Mercedes SUV sporting his ring as well.

"Never judge someone without knowing the whole story. You may think you understand, but you don't," read a message that Khloé posted to Instagram last week.
