Kim Kardashian Is Dating Odell Beckham Jr.
Kim Kardashian attends the GQ Men of the Year Party 2023 VIP dinner at Chateau Marmont on November 16, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Odell Beckham Jr. attends W Magazine, Mark Ronson, and Gucci's Grammy After-Party at Bar Marmont on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.
Kim Kardashian finally has a new man in her life following her breakup with Pete Davidson. The SKIMS founder is now reportedly dating NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., according to Daily Mail. Insiders tell the publication that the two have been keeping their relationship under wraps. Rumors about Kim, 43, and OBJ, 31, being romantically linked began around September 2023. The insider told the publication she has been seeing him since last summer and isn’t seeing “anyone else right now — at least not that her close friends know of.”
Kim attended his 31st birthday party in November with Khloe Kardashian, who reportedly dated Odell briefly in 2016. The pro football player also knows Kendall Jenner. The two starred in a campaign for Moon toothpaste in 2021. Kardashian and Odell also attended Jay-Z’s pre-Grammy party recently.
Better Kept Secret
Both Kardashian and the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver wanted to keep things private for as long as possible. As OBJ and his longtime girlfriend and mother of his one-year-old son Zydn split, he and Kim started “hanging out.” The timing to keep things a secret was to avoid false speculation that Kim is a “homewrecker.” Additionally, Kim’s ex-husband, Ye, has a bad history of harassing her last boyfriend. After what Ye put Davidson through, “Kim wants to avoid that at all costs,” the source added. The only reason Ye hasn’t said anything publicly yet is because “he has no solid proof,” the insider says.
A month after Kim and Kanye’s divorce was finalized, the rapper married his wife Bianca Censori in December 2022. Despite moving on himself, Ye called him “Skete” and made fun of him often on his Instagram Stories. He made a music video in which a claymation Pete was decapitated as well. When Pete left Instagram, Ye proudly claimed it was because of him that he drove him off the platform.
The Most Unexpected Celebrity Match-Ups
Hollywood tends to date within the same pool. Though some couples have got their start from working together on the same set, others have met each other at events. Age is not a factor for celebrities looking for love, as many have dated people over ten years older or younger than them. Some couples are still together, but for the really bizarre ones, their romances fizzled out before we could come up with a cute ship name (like the iconic Bennifer). The love life of the rich, famous, and good-looking spark interest in online discourse. Rumors of cheating and breakups hit social media on a daily basis, but unless the celebrities themselves clear the air, it is all hearsay.
Most celebrity divorces have filed documents citing “irreconcilable differences,” which is a term used as a catch-all when the parties involved want to keep the specific reasons under wraps. For example, in Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s divorce, they cited irreconcilable differences despite rumors of Britney cheating on her husband with “at least one” male staff member.
Some of our favorite couples are the ones who have withstood the test of time, while some of the biggest breakup news of the year was of couples we thought were going the distance. Sophia Vergara and Joe Manganiello and Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn were just two couples who were together what fans thought were “couple goals. A-listers tend to keep their relationships under wraps, but there is no shortage of dating shows to feed our needs for front-row drama.
As we’ve seen with stars whose every move is watched, their relationships have been judged every step of the way, like Kanye West and his new wife, Bianca Censori. Other couples have no photos posted together on their social media apps, so as to not further fuel media coverage. That doesn’t stop the paparazzi or fans from snapping pics any chance they get, though.
Take a look below to see which celebrities we think are the most random match-ups.
