Kim Kardashian is reportedly on the verge of officially announcing her relationship with the celebrated NFL player Odell Beckham Jr.
The television star and entrepreneur, previously married to Kanye West, has been in a relationship with the Baltimore Ravens athlete, aged 31, for the past five months.
After finalizing her divorce from Kanye West in 2022, Kim began seeing the ex-New York Giants player in the middle of 2023.
It seems the couple, who have maintained a low profile recently, are now ready to publicly acknowledge their relationship. A source mentioned that Odell prefers to stay out of the spotlight, unlike Kim’s previous partners, including Pete Davidson and Reggie Bush.
According to MailOnline, a source stated that Odell is “much more private” than Kim and has been careful about planning their future together.
Interestingly, Odell has a history with Kim’s sister Khloe, 39, with rumors of a past romantic link after they were seen together at a party in 2016. Khloe dismissed the speculation, describing it as “a little flirting.”
In 2021, Odell collaborated with Kim’s half-sister Kendall Jenner, 28, on a toothpaste advertisement in the U.S.
Kanye West, Kim’s ex-husband, mentioned Odell in his 2016 song “Facts,” hinting at his own political ambitions with the lyrics: ‘On the field, I’m over-reckless, on my Odell Beckham / 2020 I’ma run the whole election, yeah!’
The potential confirmation of Kim and Odell’s relationship follows their recent appearance at a high-profile pre-Grammys event, reportedly hosted by Jay-Z, a collaborator of Kanye West. An insider told MailOnline that the event marked a moment where Kim and Odell appeared more open about their relationship, suggesting they are “fond” of each other.
Despite their growing closeness, Kim is said to be cautious about managing their relationship’s publicity, aiming to maintain more privacy than in her past relationships.
Odell, who has a son named Zydn with his ex-wife Lauren Wood, and Kim, whose daughter North recently appeared in a music video, are navigating their high-profile lives while balancing personal privacy.
