Taylor Swift and Chiefs TE Travis Kelce may or may not be football’s newest power couple. Is Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. trying to one-up his AFC rival?
Rumors are swirling about a potential relationship between Beckham and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who has dated a few prominent athletes in the past.
It’s been a whirlwind few years for Beckham, who tore his ACL with the Browns in 2020 and was granted his release after becoming disgruntled in 2021. He went on to win a Super Bowl ring with the Rams but tore his ACL in the first half of the big game and wound up sitting out for the entire 2022 season.
Now healthy again, recent ankle tweak aside, Beckham is getting acclimated to life with the undefeated Ravens. Is he also getting acclimated to life with one of America’s most prominent celebrities?

Here’s a closer look at the reporting surrounding Beckham and Kardashian.
Is Odell Beckham Jr. dating Kim Kardashian?
People reported Monday that Beckham and Kardashian are “hanging out,” citing a source.
The report also states Beckham and his former girlfriend Lauren Wood are no longer together. Beckham and Wood had a son together in February 2022.
TMZ poured a bit of cold water on the rumors, reporting that Kardashian is “not seriously dating anyone at the moment.” While TMZ confirmed Kardashian and Beckham know each other, the outlet called Beckham “strictly a friend.”
Unfortunately, details beyond the two reports are scarce. Neither side has made any comments or posted anything on social media to indicate they’re in a relationship, but that’s to be expected for two well-known figures who likely value what little privacy they have.
Kelce and Swift have similarly been pretty silent on the rumors surrounding themselves, though Kelce hasn’t exactly denied anything to this point.

Kardashian has had relationships with numerous celebrities in and out of the sports world. She dated former Saints RB Reggie Bush early in his NFL career and was briefly married to former Nets forward Kris Humphries. Outside of sports, Kardashian was married to rapper Kanye West and dated actor Pete Davidson.
Beckham has had to put plenty of focus on football this year, with his knee now healthy enough for him to play a significant role in the Ravens’ offense. Baltimore looks like a serious AFC contender two games into the season, so Beckham should continue to be in the spotlight.
