Kim Kardashian, 43, and Odell Beckham Jr., 31, have been dating since last summer, but have kept their romance under wraps, according to insiders.
The reality star and the NFL player met at a mutual friend's party in Los Angeles and hit it off immediately, but decided to keep their relationship low-key out of respect for Beckham's son, Odell Jr., 7, who lives with his mother, Nicole Murphy, in New York.

"Kim and Odell are very happy together, but they don't want to make a big deal out of it," a source close to the couple told us. "They are both very private people and they don't want to put their son in the spotlight or cause any drama with Kanye."
Kanye West, 46, is Kim's ex-husband and the father of her four children, North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 4. The couple divorced in 2022 after seven years of marriage, amid reports of West's erratic behavior and mental health issues.
"Kim and Kanye have a cordial relationship, but they are not in regular contact," the source said. "Kim doesn't want to upset Kanye or trigger any public outbursts from him. She knows how sensitive he is and how much he loves their kids."
The source added that Kim and Odell are planning to go public with their relationship soon, but they want to do it in a respectful and tasteful way.
"They are not hiding, but they are not flaunting either," the source said. "They are waiting for the right time and the right occasion to announce their relationship to the world. They are very much in love and they want to share their happiness with their fans and friends."
