LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian is rumored to be dating a new man. A source told People on September 19 that the 42-year-old star of 'The Kardashians' had been spending time recently with Baltimore Ravens star Odell Beckham Jr.
They claim that the reality star and the wide receiver have been "hanging out" in recent days. A source close to the reality star, however, informed DailyMail.com that she is not "seriously" seeing anybody right now.
"Kim and Odell are friends and have a lot of mutual friends in common," the person stated, adding, "She’s not seriously dating anyone at the moment but open to finding love again if she meets the right person."
The source also said, "Right now, her main focus is on her kids and her businesses."
Although Odell is currently a Ravens player, he was previously closer to Kim's home turf when he played for the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. However, it's unclear if the two ever met while he was on the West Coast.
