Khloe Kardashian ‘approves’ of Kim Kardashian romancing Odell Beckham Jr. – despite previously being linked to the sportsman BEFORE her sister
Khloe Kardashian was first romantically linked to Odell Beckham Jr., years before her sister Kim Kardashian started dating the handsome sportsman.
But insiders tell DailyMail.com there is no animosity over the romance.
“Khloe totally gave Kim her blessing to go for it,” an insider reveals, adding, “It wasn’t anything serious between Odell and Khloe — they had a few flirty moments. Khloe ultimately wants Kim to find someone and be happy.”
Khloe, 39, was linked to Odell, 31, in 2016 with MediaTakeOut claiming that they had been seeing each other for a few months at the time.
A Twitter user shared a video of the rumored couple together at 1 OAK nightclub in Las Vegas, where they were celebrating Scott Disick’s birthday.

And they were together again for Drake’s Memorial Day pool party in Hidden Hills.
Images obtained by TMZ At the time, the reality star showed herself looking very cozy with the athlete as they cuddled at the party.
A source told the publication that Khloe and Odell “looked like a couple” and were “definitely interested in each other.”
However, not everyone was convinced, a source said Entertainment tonight that the pair had only “hanged out twice.”
Another source insisted We weekly they were also not in a relationship and claimed they were “just flirting at a party.”
Khloe eventually moved on with Tristan Thompson, with whom she shares two children, while Odell began dating Lauren Wood in 2019.
Odell and Lauren, a model, welcomed son Zydyn two years ago before ending their romance in 2023.
While Khloe has given Kim the stamp of approval for her latest romance, she notably cut ties with a close family friend who interfered in her love life.
In 2019, Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods shared a drunken kiss with Tristan at a party. At the time, Tristan was dating Khloe, and the betrayal erupted into a huge scandal that left her out of the Kardashian family’s good graces.

It also ended Khloe’s relationship with Tristan, although they would reconcile and welcome a second child together in the following years.
The fallout from the scandal played out on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Khloe infamously called out Jordyn on Twitter after Woods appeared on Red Table Talk to share her side of the story.
‘Why are you lying @jordynwoods?? If you’re trying to save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. Besides, you ARE the reason my family broke up!’ Khloe snapped on Twitter.
After admitting to the kiss, Jordyn’s friendship with Kylie quickly ended, as did her close relationship with the Kardashian/Jenner family. However, last year they were pictured having dinner together in exclusive photos from DailyMail.com.
In the case of Kim and Odell, however, Khloe has given the new couple her approval.

The driver insists Khloe never had “particularly strong feelings” toward Odell.
“She thinks Odell and Kim are a nice match, she supports them.”
Earlier this month, DailyMail.com revealed that Kim and Odell are dating exclusively.
The reality star, 43, and the athlete have been publicly linked since September 2023, when speculation began mounting about a possible connection between the pair.
A source told DailyMail.com on Friday: ‘Kim has been dating Odell since last summer and thought she had managed to keep it a secret. She’s not seeing anyone else at the moment – at least not that her close friends know of.”
According to the insider, both Kardashian and Beckham Jr. – who are rumored to be attending the Super Bowl together – made the decision to remain private to avoid rumors that the SKIMS founder was a “homewrecker.”

The two stars initially started ‘hanging out’ shortly after the footballer’s split from girlfriend Lauren, which was announced in September last year. The former couple share a one-year-old son Zydn.
“Kim really wanted to keep this romance private for two reasons. One of them is that he has a one-year-old son with his ex Lauren Woods.’
“They both wanted to avoid any speculation that he had left Lauren for Kim, thus branding Kim a homewrecker,” the source continued.
“The second reason is to avoid Kanye’s response. After what Kanye did to Pete Davidson, Kim wants to avoid that at all costs. It’s only a matter of time before Kanye says something publicly, but he has no hard evidence.”
