Our elders taught us it is not nice to gossip, but sometimes a little girl talk is too fun to resist. Especially when it comes to the dating lives of our favorite celebrities. Swifties have Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to obsess over. Kim Kardashian fans might be getting their own football star to swoon over.
Rumors are flying that Kim is dating Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. There has been no official word from either side confirming this. She did attend his 31st birthday party, so people are talking.
The rumor mill started working in September 2023. Several outlets said the couple was casually hanging out. These hangs were not one-on-ones but in big friend groups.
On November 6, 2023, Kim attended Odell’s 31st birthday party in New York. That’s quite a commute for a casual friend. People are speculating that it is something more.

Odell was previously in a relationship with Lauren Wood. The exes share 1-year-old son Zydn. The couple broke up sometime earlier in 2023.
Odell’s mom Heather Van Norman has loved watching him become a dad. "Being a father has definitely settled him," she said. "Zydn is like his light. He's always loved children. But being with Zydn brings out all the goodness in Odell. It's really fun to watch."
Odell also recognizes how fatherhood has changed him. "I have a son now, I have a legacy," he mused. "He's impacted me in ways as a man, and as a person, that I could've never imagined. I just know I'm going to make him proud."
Kim has had her own share of past relationships. She shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. She had previously dated NFL players including Reggie Bush and Miles Austin. She was famously married to NBA player Kris Humphries for 72 days. Her most recent public relationship was with comedian Pete Davidson.
E! News does not think there is any merit to these rumors. It reported in September that Kim is “not seriously dating anyone at the moment.” It also claimed that she and Odell just have the same social circles.
To be fair, this wasn't the first time Kim was at a birthday party for Odell. She was also present at his 30th birthday part. A source told Page Six that she and Odell spent the majority of the night talking to an unnamed CEO of a sports merchandise company. Time will tell if the rumors are true or if this is merely a friendship.
