Watch: Jonathan Cheban Amazed at Lamar Odom's Strength

No one can get over Lamar Odom's incredible recovery, including Jonathan Cheban.

Kim Kardashian's Keeping Up With the Kardashians co-star talked to E! News on the red carpet of the Balmain for H&M fashion show Tuesday night and couldn't help but gush about the former Los Angeles Lakers star's amazing turnaround since being found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel.

"It looks like he's really strong. Now you know why athletes get paid so much money because they're like bulls," he told us. "It's just unbelievable that someone could have so much happen to even get to the point where he is now.

TheDishh.com founder continued, "To me it's like unbelievable and miraculous. I wish I could be that strong as a person to begin with."

Lamar's recovery continues to improve in Los Angeles, where a source told E! News that he is "more coherent every day," but he still has a long road ahead. "Every day he is getting a bit better, but he is continuing to have extensive tests on his cognitive and motor functions, so no one can make a definitive diagnosis yet."

Cheban also chalks it up to the prayers Lamar has received from friends, family and fans. "Everybody, just keep praying," he added.

"So far it was working, so hopefully it's going to keep working and getting better."

He also commended the Kardashian-Jenner family for coming together as a unit to support Lamar as he works his way back to perfect health. "They've been there and everybody's been really supportive, and I think it's just amazing how the family gets together," he gushed.

This entire ordeal must have been eye-opening for Khloe and Lamar, who have mutually decided to call off their divorce! E! News confirmed Wednesday that the 31-year-old reality TV star and her 35-year-old husband withdrew their divorce petition.

The news came just over one week after the E! star rushed to her husband's side at Sunrise Hospital in Sin City.
