Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. have reportedly broken up after dating for six months.
The former couple were first romantically linked in September last year after being spotted in each other's company. Now, according to a report, the duo have parted ways shortly after it was alleged that Kardashian was open to having kids with the football player.
Kim Kardashian And Odell Beckham Jr. Call It Quits On Their Romance
According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, Kardashian, 43, and Beckham, 31, have gone their separate ways after a brief and low-key romance.
Although the pair never debuted their relationship on the red carpet, they were last photographed together at a Vanity Fair Oscars After Party.
The source told the news outlet, "They're not seeing each other anymore right now."
The SKIMS co-founder and the footballer's break up comes as a shock to fans, as it was recently alleged that Kardashian was open to having baby number 5 with Beckham.
Kardashian is already the mother of four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, from her former marriage to rapper Kanye West.
On the other hand, Beckham shares a son, Zydn, with his ex-girlfriend, Lauryn Wood.
The Couple Reportedly Dated 'Exclusively' Before Breaking Up
Prior to their split, insiders had revealed that the couple had been dating secretly for months. Rumors about their romance had been going on since September last year.
The former couple reportedly kept their romance secret because of Odell's two-year-old son Zydn and to avoid a negative reaction from Kardashian's ex-husband, West.
A source told the news outlet at the time, "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."
Kardashian's last relationship was with comedian and "SNL" star Pete Davidson. The duo's romance was rocked by multiple scathing attacks from West, who made multiple posts on social media at the time, slamming Davidson.
Why Odell Beckham Jr. And Kim Kardashian Kept Their Romance A Secret
The source told the news outlet in February last month that Kardashian was extremely private about her romantic life and hid her relationship with the footballer to avoid being labeled a "homewrecker."
This is because the couple began dating following his breakup with Wood, his long-term partner and Zydn's mother.
The insider said, "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."
West's potential to attack the couple, as he did when Kardashian dated Davidson, was also one of the reasons why they hid their romance.
The source said, "The second reason is to avoid the backlash from Kanye. After what Kanye put Pete Davidson through, Kim wants to avoid that at all costs. It is only a matter of time now before Kanye says something publicly, but he has no solid proof."
Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Were Recently Spotted Out Together
Before news of her split from Beckham, Kardashian and West were spotted together at their son Saint's basketball game. The pair looked very friendly with each other as they posed for photos and cheered on the little boy.
At one point during the outing, West could be seen pulling in Kardashian for a hug with his right arm. The former couple were dressed casually for the game, and Saint looked cute and ready to play in his basketball jersey and green Nike sneakers.
Kardashian and West were also very affectionate to their son during the game, cheering him on as he played. There was even a sweet moment when West wrapped an arm around his son and seemed to give him a mini pep talk to encourage him.
Kanye West Recently Slammed His Ex-Wife Over His Children's School
The former couple's recent outing comes after West took to social media to demand that Kardashian remove their kids from their current school.
The rapper wrote on Instagram, "KIM TAKE MY KIDS OUT OF SIERRA CANYON NOW. IT'S A FAKE SCHOOL FOR CELEBRITIES THAT ARE USED BY 'THE SYSTEM.'"
West's demands reportedly annoyed Kardashian, who felt her ex-husband's public call-out posed a security risk for their kids.
A source spoke to TMZ, noting that the reality TV star was upset and that West never gave any proper solution as to their kids' schooling.
"The only solution Kanye has offered in protest to the school — that the kids have been at since pre-school — has been placing them with unaccredited teachers and his own unaccredited Donda school, which has been riddled with lawsuits."
