Kim and Odell first sparked rumors last September, after the footballer’s reported split from Lauren Wood.
At the time, Kim’s representative told The U.S. Sun that she and Odell “are friends and have a lot of mutual friends in common” but that the Kardashians star is not “seriously dating anyone.”
A source also told People that the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver “always had a thing for [Kim], but the timing just never aligned.”
In the following months, after romance rumors between them first surfaced, the pair have been spotted hanging out multiple times.
Kim, 43, was seen attending Odell’s 31st birthday party, and not long after, they reportedly attended a Grammys after-party hosted by Jay Z.
They were also photographed attending a Super Bowl party in February 2024.
That same month, an insider confirmed to Us Weekly that the two are indeed an item.
“They’re getting serious,” they said, with another noting that “their relationship has been blossoming longer than people thought — for like a year.”
But it looks like they will keep things between them lowkey, as they are “trying to figure out the next steps” in their relationship.
As the new couple looks forward, take a look back at all the other athletes Kim has dated.

They split in 2010 and Reggie went on to date country singer Jesse James in 2010, before meeting his future wife Lilit Avagyan in 2011.
Meanwhile, Kim began dating Kanye West in 2011 and they had four kids together – North, 10; Saint, 8; Chicago, 6; and Psalm, 4.
The Skims founder filed for divorce in February 2021.

In 2010, before Kanye and Kim became the showbiz couple, the reality TV star enjoyed an evening with soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
The pair met in Los Angeles after Cristiano apparently found out that Kim had watched his football game in Spain.
The two were later reportedly seen kissing in Madrid where she was enjoying a three-day vacation.
A source told The Sun at the time, “She and Ronaldo were kissing and very affectionate. They looked to be getting on really well, laughing the whole time.”
They reportedly headed to Cristiano’s house for several hours after the meal.
MILES AUSTIN

Kim dated former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin in the summer of 2010.
But their relationship was short-lived due to their busy schedules.
“There’s no huge reason except their distance apart. With his season and Kim’s filming it just slowly split them apart. They tried to keep it as low profile as possible when they were together,” People reported at the time.
The couple ended up spending months apart as Kim promoted her family’s reality TV show in Europe while Miles had football commitments with the Cowboys.
“It was the real deal. They were always strong,” an insider said at the time. “But before Kim left for Europe they decided it’s not fair that they don’t get to spend more time together and ended it.”
KRIS HUMPHRIES

Kim had a very public whirlwind romance with basketball player Kris Humphries that culminated in a brief marriage.
They started dating in late 2010, got engaged in May 2011, and tied the knot in August 2011.
The former lovebirds had a star-studded ceremony in California, which was documented in a two-part special in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
However, famously, after just 72 days, Kim and Kris called it quits, citing irreconcilable differences as the key reason.
“I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best,” Kim noted in a statement.
Meanwhile, Kris shot down speculations that their marriage was merely a publicity stunt.
“There’s definitely a lot about that world that is not entirely real. But our actual relationship was 100 percent real,” he told Players Tribune.
“When it was clear that it wasn’t working…what can I say? It sucked.
“It’s never easy to go through the embarrassment of something like that – with your friends, with your family, but when it plays out so publicly, in front of the world, it’s a whole other level. It was brutal.”
