What's the story
Two days ago, Hollywood news portal PEOPLE reported that entrepreneur-reality TV star Kim Kardashian was seen "hanging out" with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr.
Notably, Beckham was earlier in a relationship with model Lauren Wood (with whom he shares a toddler son), but they have allegedly recently split.
Kardashian, on the other hand, shares four kids with ex-husband and rapper Kanye West (Ye).

Reportedly, last football season, Kardashian attended several of his games and also attended his 30th birthday.
Further, Page Six reported that the "two have been hanging out in groups as they share mutual acquaintances."
