On Sept. 19, a source told People that Kardashian and NFL pro Odell Beckham Jr. had been spending time together, sparking immediate dating rumors. Multiple sources also told the outlet that Beckham had split from his girlfriend Lauren Wood, with whom he shares a son named Zydn.
The following day, sources told E! News that romance isn't at the top of Kardashian's mind at the moment. "Kim and Odell are friends and have a lot of mutual friends in common," the insiders said. "She's not seriously dating anyone at the moment but open to finding love again if she meets the right person. Right now her main focus is on her kids and her businesses."
That same day, though, a source told Us Weekly that the pair had embarked on a casual fling. "Their connection was mutual and grew flirtatious pretty quickly. They're dating, but things are still fairly casual," the source said. "There's nothing official so they're both allowed to date other people. Although they're not committed, Kim usually dates one guy at a time, so she's not seeing anybody else."
The insider also added that the pair had "known each other for a while." "[Odell has] also spent time with most of the Kardashian family over the years at events like the Met Gala [and] the White Party," they continued. "Neither one necessarily initiated things, but Odell did invite her to his birthday party last year . . . They have great chemistry and Kim's family fully approves." Reps for Kardashian and Beckham did not respond to POPSUGAR's requests for comment.
