2024 has been deemed the year of the NFL man with Taylor Swift, Alix Earle, and now Kim Kardashian dating an American footballer. But who is Odell Beckham Jr. and how serious is the relationship between them?  

The rumour that the pair are dating has been doing the rounds for quite some time, but it has recently gained traction since they were spotted leaving last week’s Vanity Fair Oscars after party together.

Odell Beckham Jr. Is an American footballer who was born in Louisiana. He has recently left the Baltimore Ravens team with speculation that he will be signing with the New York Jets or Kansas City Chiefs (Taylor Swift’s Boyfriends team).

Considering the long-term feud between Kim and Taylor that could get awkward…

But enough with the sports talk. The romance rumours between the Skims founder and the NFL star began in September 2023 when an insider told PEOPLE that the couple have been “hanging out”. It was also confirmed that Odell had split from his ex Lauren Wood who he shares a son with.

At this time another insider speaking on Kim and Odell’s relationship told Us Weekly, “Their connection was mutual and grew flirtatious pretty quickly. They’re dating, but things are still fairly casual.” Kim also attended Odell’s 31st birthday in early November.

Fast forward to February 2024, and a source told Us Weekly that the couple have been “getting serious”. Apparently Odell has a private personality and they are “trying to figure out the next steps” for their relationship.

The couple were spotted at a Super Bowl party together on February 10th and a source told PEOPLE that there was no PDA but they “definitely seemed together.”

Although the pair did not pose for any photographs together at the Oscars, someone attending the event got some sneaky footage of the two chatting and getting cosy. A source also told Entertainment Tonight that Kim’s family “is obsessed with Odell,” Kim and OBJ are “doing their best to keep things quiet and to themselves.”

This isn’t Kim’s first time being romantically linked to a footballer. Back in 2007 Kim dated NFL player Reggie Bush for three years and the pair are still on good terms and speak fondly of their time together. 

Kim is in her private and healing era and we’re here for it – who doesn’t love romance rumours?! We think these two are a match made in heaven and in true Kim Kardashian fashion, she is keeping on trend even in her love life by dating an NFL man.
