Since filing for divorce from Kanye West in 2021, Kim Kardashian’s dating life has been relatively quiet (except for that whirlwind relationship with Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson, which ended in August 2022). Now, though, things are starting to heat up again for the reality star, who is rumored to be dating NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Whispers about the pair’s romantic status first circulated in September 2023, when a source said Kardashian and Beckham were “hanging out.” Most recently, the two were spotted together at a Super Bowl LVIII party, only leading to further speculation they’re an item. (If we’ve learned anything, it’s that football game attendance can be a strong indicator of a new celebrity relationship.)
