From keeping early romances undercover, to publicly launching a significant other and navigating a messy breakup, there are a lot of factors to consider when dating in the spotlight. However, Kim Kardashian sent a clear message about her connection with NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

On March 11, the SKIMs founder enjoyed a night out with fellow members of the Kar-Jenner family—as well as some public couple time with the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver. Kim, 43, and Odell, 31, both attended the star-studded event held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California. Let’s take a closer look at what their reported interactions were like.
Kim and Odell arrived separately at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
Reportedly, Kris Jenner arrived before her daughters, Kylie, Kendall, and Kim, who made their entrances 30 minutes to an hour later. Odell reportedly joined them afterward—and a source told People “it was clear” he and Kim were “together.” The couple was “hanging out pretty much all night once he got there.”
There was ‘a lot of touching’ at the event.
Kim and Odell weren't all over each other at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. However, there was a definite physical aspect to their interactions. “There wasn’t a ton of PDA like some of the other couples, but there was a lot of touching, and they were right near each other the entire time,” the source told People.
Kim and Odell had 'lots of chemistry.'
It seems the couple were mindful to strike a balance between signaling their romance and not shoving it down others' throats. "They were careful about not being too all over each other," the source told People. "But there was lots of chemistry."
However, they did leave together.
After the event, Kim and Odell were spotted leaving the party together. Photos obtained by Page Six showed the couple exiting the venue with KKW Brands chief brand officer, Tracy Romulus. Kim rocked a white Balenciaga dress, while Odell wore a dark leather suit.
Dating rumors started in September 2023
Reportedly, Kim and Odell began "hanging out casually" in September 2023, a source told Page Six. The reported blossoming romance happened following the NFL player's split from Lauren "Lolo" Wood earlier that year. Meanwhile, Kim's last public relationship was with comedian Pete Davidson</a>; they called it quits in August 2022.
They seemingly confirmed their relationship in February.
In February, Kim and Odell seemed to confirm their romance as they left a Las Vegas hotel together ahead of Super Bowl LVIII. A video shared by the Daily Mail showed them exiting The Wynn. The NFL player wore a black-and-white outfit while Kim rocked a V-neck top, black pants, and a black cowboy hat.
