As football season takes center stage, it’s not just the games that are grabbing headlines. While Taylor Swift’s new NFL romance has been making waves for a month, it seems another highly scrutinized woman in the dating arena, Kim Kardashian, might be making her own plays in the relationship game. Speculations are rife about her connection with Baltimore Ravens wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr.
The rumors of Kim Kardashian and OBJ’s association first emerged in September when multiple sources hinted that they had been “casually hanging out.” It was noteworthy that these hangouts typically took place in groups alongside mutual friends. Beckham’s previous relationship with Lauren Wood, with whom he shares a son, had ended sometime earlier this year.
The gossip mill spun faster on Monday when Kim Kardashian made an appearance at Beckham’s 31st birthday celebration in New York. However, it’s essential to note that these interactions appear to be predominantly friendly. Reports from E! News in September stated that Kim Kardashian isn’t “seriously dating anyone at the moment” and that she and OBJ share “a lot of mutual friends in common.” Her presence at Beckham’s birthday party may not necessarily signify a romantic connection either. They’ve been part of the same social circle for years, with Kim Kardashian also attending Beckham’s 30th birthday party last year. Furthermore, an insider told “Page Six” that they spent the evening engaged in conversation with the CEO of a sports merchandise company. It doesn’t exactly sound like a romantic date, but then again, neither does sharing ice cream at Rite Aid. Could a field-side rendezvous at the M&T Bank Stadium be in store for the future?
