Kim Kardashian is once again making headlines, and this time, it's not for her reality show or her successful businesses. The 42-year-old star has been spotted spending time with Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., sparking rumors of a potential romance.
According to an insider cited by PEOPLE, Kardashian and Beckham Jr. have indeed formed a connection, with the source confirming that they "are hanging out." While representatives for both celebrities have remained tight-lipped on the matter, multiple sources have also indicated that the 30-year-old NFL player has officially parted ways with his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Wood. The couple shares a son named Zydn, born in February 2022, while Kardashian has four children from her previous marriage to Kanye West.

However, this isn't the first time Kardashian has found herself romantically linked to a football player. Back in 2007, she dated former New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush, and their relationship played out in front of the cameras on the debut season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." They eventually went their separate ways in 2010 due to the pressures of their respective careers.
Speaking about his relationship with Kardashian at the time, Bush admitted the challenges that came with the media attention, remarking that most football players prefer to stay out of the spotlight. Despite his discomfort, he acknowledged that he did it because it was important to Kim.

Even recently, Kardashian was seen socializing with legendary quarterback Tom Brady, but those speculations were put to rest when their friendship was clarified by Michael Rubin, who hosted the event where they were first spotted together. He confirmed that they were "just friends."
As for Kardashian and Beckham Jr., sources close to both parties insist that it is just friendship. Kim Kardashian, whose focus remains on her children and her thriving businesses, is reportedly not in a serious relationship with anyone at the moment but remains open to finding love again if the right person comes along.
While the exact timeline of their friendship remains unclear, the fact that Kardashian attended several Los Angeles Rams games last season while Beckham was on the team hints at a shared interest in football, which could be where the connection was born.
However, fans of both celebrities speculate that this could evolve into something more than just “casually hanging out”.
