Kim Kardashian and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.'s discreet relationship reportedly ended after Kardashian sought to make their affair public and involve Beckham in her family's reality TV saga, according to sources.
Kardashian, 43, and Beckham, 31, a wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, were allegedly involved in a clandestine romance for nearly a year before Beckham decided to distance himself.
Sources close to the situation told Globe that Kardashian was eager to escalate the relationship by increasing public appearances, including features on the Hulu reality show associated with the Kardashian family. "She really wanted to ramp things up, with more photo ops, appearances on the Hulu show, the whole nine yards," a source revealed.
The move was purportedly part of a strategy to establish them as the next prominent couple within the entertainment sphere. However, Beckham was reportedly hesitant to be fully drawn into the Kardashian public narrative.
"Her PR machine was working overtime to make them into the hot new couple, but Odell didn’t want to get sucked into the Kardashian trap," the insider added, noting Beckham's reservations about being labeled as "a Kardashian guy."
Complicating matters, Kardashian's thawing relations with her ex-husband, Kanye West, 46, and his new wife, Bianca Censori, 29, reportedly did not sit well with Beckham. "That didn’t go over well with Odell — he is not a fan of Kanye," the source disclosed.
Beckham's growing concerns over the situation led to a reassessment of his involvement with Kardashian, eventually culminating in his decision to retreat from the burgeoning relationship. "He started having second thoughts about the whole situation, which obviously put Kim in a panic because she was pushing a happy couple story everywhere," the informant explained.
This development has reportedly left Kardashian in an awkward position, as she had been advocating for a narrative that portrayed them as a contented and united couple. Now, faced with the dissolution of their relationship, sources suggest Kardashian is dealing with the repercussions of her public relations strategy gone awry. "Now she has egg on her face," the source concluded, indicating the fallout from the failed attempt to publicize their romance.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian, the renowned fashion mogul and reality TV star, has reportedly ceased her quest for the ideal partner, following a series of high-profile relationships and marriages that have not culminated in lasting unions. This revelation comes amid her recent split from NFL player Odell Beckham Jr., marking yet another chapter in her search for love.
Kardashian, whose romantic history includes three divorces, has yet to find a partner who matches her expectations and lifestyle. Her most notable marriage, to rapper Kanye West, ended amidst his controversies related to Donda Academy.
An insider shared with In Touch Weekly, "She really has been unlucky in love," reflecting on Kardashian's series of relationships that have fallen short of permanence. The source highlighted, "She’s been married and divorced three times, and each marriage didn’t last long," citing the brief 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries as an example.
Following her separation from West, Kardashian's attempts to find love included a rumored interest in Tom Brady, which did not evolve into a relationship, and a nine-month romance with comedian Pete Davidson. According to the insider, even Davidson found Kardashian's dynamic presence challenging to navigate.
Most recently, Kardashian was linked with Beckham Jr., though their relationship "just fizzled," the source added. Despite the initial excitement, "It was fun while it lasted," but the realization that "they’re at different places in life" led to an amicable parting, with no lingering animosity between them.
The challenges of dating Kardashian stem significantly from the intense public and media scrutiny that accompanies her relationships. "Dating Kim is a lot because of all the publicity that comes along with being her boyfriend. It scares a lot of guys away," the insider explained.
This factor was hinted to have reportedly influenced her recent split from Beckham Jr., who is known for valuing his privacy. "It’s probably what torpedoed her romance with Odell, who’s intensely private," the source concluded.
Kim Kardashian has yet to comment on the claims that she and Odell Beckham Jr. have ended their supposed relationship. So, avid followers of Kanye West's former wife should take all these unverified reports with a pinch of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
