Ever since Kim Kardashian called it quits with Kanye West back in 2021, her love life’s been under the radar. Well, if you overlook that intense fling with SNL’s Pete Davidson, which fizzled out by August 2022. But lately, the rumor mill’s been buzzing again, this time linking her with the NFL’s very own Odell Beckham Jr.

Talk about Kim and Odell first started doing the rounds in September 2023. Someone in the know mentioned they were “hanging out,” which, in celeb terms, could mean just about anything. Then, come February 2024, they’re both at a Super Bowl LVIII bash and suddenly, everyone’s eyebrows are raised. Here’s the entire timeline of how we reached here.

Odell Beckham Jr. joins Kim in back-to-back bashes

Did you catch the buzz about Kim Kardashian and OBJ at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on March 10, 2024? Just a month after their Super Bowl hangout, they turned heads again. Kim was rocking this eye-catching white Balenciaga number, and Odell? He went all in with a chic black leather getup. They weren’t all over each other, but you could feel the vibe. The duo was together, and the chemistry was palpable. They even left the bash together.

Rewind to February 10, amid the Super Bowl craze with celebs everywhere, Kim and Odell decided Vegas was the place to be. Spotted at the Fanatics Super Bowl party, they were in good company, rubbing shoulders with the Biebers and more. It was okay-ish. No big public displays of affection, but the connection? It was there. And when they were seen at the Wynn later, the rumor mill went into overdrive.

By February 7, whispers were getting louder that these two were more than just casual. Insider chats with Us Weekly suggested they were figuring things out, especially how to balance Odell’s low-key style with Kim’s spotlight life. Let’s go further back to 2023 when it all started.

Kim hops into the scene as Lauren Wood leaves

Flashback to November 2023, Kim sneaks into Odell’s 31st birthday–it was a whole ’90s vibe and she fit right in. Then in September, and they both showed up in Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show teasers. Suddenly, everyone was talking. And when word got out that Odell and Lauren Wood had called it quits, the Kim and Odell story picked up even more steam.

Kim’s been dropping hints too, talking about keeping things on the down-low post-Davidson and being a “hopeless romantic” on her terms. She said, “I just want to sneak around a little bit. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to sneak!”

We’re still awaiting confirmation from either party, though. So, it’s all just speculation at this point if they’re actually dating. Maybe once 2024 season starts, we could see a Kim-OBj saga like the Kelce-Swift saga last year.
