Kim Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr. Intensify Romance Rumors At Oscars Party

Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. have continued to spark romance allegations. 

Even though the rumored lovebirds arrived at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party separately, they were spotted leaving the event together. 

While the Oscars drama unfolded, Kardashian and Beckham Jr. seemed to have been busy together, hopping from one location to another.

The rumored lovebirds, along with her best friend, Tracy Romulus, were seen leaving the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California. 

While the duo was conversing, Romulus, who is also KKW Brands' chief brand officer, was chatting on her phone. 

For the event, the reality star opted for a metallic-toned skintight Balenciaga dress with a dramatic point under her chin, and her alleged beau wore an all-black leather outfit. 

Shortly after their appearance at Wallis, the couple were seen exiting rapper Jay-Z and Beyoncé's afterparty in each other's company.

Rumors about Kardashian and Beckham Jr. being an item began in September 2023. Sources claimed they had been spending time together casually after he ended his relationship with Lauren "Lolo" Wood.

The allegations became even more prominent when the 43-year-old and the professional football player were spotted together at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's pre-Grammys party last month and then again over Super Bowl weekend.

One insider claimed at the time that the duo's relationship was "getting serious," stating: 

"Kim has been romantically involved with Odell since last summer and thought she had managed to keep it under wraps. She is not seeing anyone else right now – at least not that her close friends know of," 

Despite their alleged seriousness, another source asserted that they were facing the challenge of Kardashian's public lifestyle contrasting with Beckham Jr.'s preference for privacy.

One source shared that the 31-year-old is "low-key, while Kim's more accustomed to the limelight." However, they added that the superstars were actively "trying to figure out the next steps."

Amid the information sharing from insiders, it is worth noting that somebody familiar with the situation asserted that Kardashian originally planned to keep the supposed relationship from the public. 

The reason for that was purported to avoid the Skims founder from being dubbed a "homewrecker" since she and Beckham Jr. became close after the end of the latter's romance with Wood. 

In their words, as detailed by The Blast, Kim really wanted to keep this romance private for two reasons. One is that he has a one-year-old son with his ex-Lauren Woods. They both wanted to avoid any speculation that he left Lauren for Kim – branding Kim a homewrecker."

Another reason the pair kept their romance under wraps was because of Kanye West, with whom Kardashian shares her four kids — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. 

The source stated, "The second reason is to avoid Kanye's reaction. After seeing what Kanye did to Pete Davidson, Kim wants to avoid that kind of drama. It's only a matter of time before Kanye says something publicly, but he doesn't have any solid evidence."

Kardashian and Ye were married for approximately seven years before they finalized their divorce in November 2022. Ye tied the knot with Bianca Censori just a month later, while his ex-wife began dating comedian and actor Pete Davidson.

Unfortunately for the then-couple, their relationship resulted in Ye engaging in significant online bullying towards Davidson. The Grammy Awards winner continually made fun of the actor's appearance on social media and even went as far as giving him the nickname "Skete." 

After Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson went their separate ways in August 2022, West posted a fake New York Times newspaper photo with the headline "Skete Davidson dead at age 28." 

Notably, the beef between the two men began as far back as September 2018, when the "Jesus Walks" rapper ranted about Donald Trump during an un-aired episode of "Saturday Night Live." 

"So many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, 'How could you like Trump, he's racist?' Well, if I was concerned about racism, I would have moved out of America a long time ago," Ye said.

Davison responded to the Yeezy founder's comments the next week, describing them as "one of the worst, most awkward things I've seen here."
