Khloe Kardashian was cosy with Kim Kardashian’s new ‘boyfriend’ Odell Beckham Jr years ago

Odell Beckham Jr (OBJ) and Kim Kardashian are reportedly dating after months of rumors between the pair. But her sister Khloe Kardashian was first romantically linked to Kim’s ‘new boyfriend’ in 2016 after a cozy picture.

Since September 2023, Kim Kardashian and the footballer have been rumored to be dating. Now, reports claim they’re getting serious and planning to go public – but Khloe Kardashian was linked to him first.

Odell Beckham Jr and Kim K have been reportedly dating since September 2023, but neither of them has gone public with their alleged romance. The pair knew each other on a friendly basis for years.

They began dating after reconnecting at billionaire Michael Rubin’s White Party in The Hamptons on the 4th of July in 2023, a source confirmed exclusively to In Touch. Odell has even met her family!

He also attended a party at Khloé’s home.

Now, sources told Us Weekly that Kardashian and Beckham were debating going public. Beckham is “low-key, while Kim’s more accustomed to the limelight,” one said.

Khloe Kardashian got cozy with him years ago
Keep it in the family? However, Khloé and OBJ were spotted getting cozy at Drake’s Memorial Day party on May 30, 2016. A source told TMZ the pair were “definitely into each other” and “looked like a couple.”

Photos emerged of the duo cozied up as they laughed and talked at the bash while Khloé stood in between his legs. At one point, Odell had his arm wrapped around The Kardashians star.

The footballer first met the Good American founder in passing a few days before their party encounter at Las Vegas’ 1OAK nightclub. Three months after being linked to him, she started dating Tristan Thompson.

Apparently, it wasn’t that deep
Amid the dating rumors, Khloe tweeted it’s “not that deep”. Fans knew exactly what she appeared to be talking about, with one fan writing, “but O’Dell is fine af though sis. Get on that.”

The footballer even touched on the rumors himself, explaining how it was the second conversation they’ve ever had. OBJ said the photos were “out of context” and elaborated in a July 2016 GQ interview.

“We were in the kitchen of the house, where there was only like 15 people. It’s just kind of like…‘dating’? I just met this person. This is maybe the second conversation we’ve had,” he revealed.
