Odell Beckham is heading to Miami. So where does the NFL star stand with Kim Kardashian?

Miami, we have another Beckham in town, and he has nothing to do with soccer.

We’re talking about Odell Beckham Jr., who just reportedly reached a one-year deal with the Dolphins that could be worth more than $8 million — if he achieves playing incentives.

Welcome aboard! Granted, Beckham is a straight-up baller (the wide receiver is a threetime Pro Bowl selection who has started 97 NFL games), but gossip watchers know him for something else.

The Baton Rouge native, 31, was Kim Kardashian’s latest love interest. The two were first linked in

September 2023 soon after his split with his longtime girlfriend, the model Lauren Wood.

They were hanging together as recently as the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party together in March.

But that was then; this is now. The reality star, 43, and the former Baltimore Ravens player have “fizzled out,” an insider blabbed to People mag.

Beckham was released by the Baltimore Ravens a few days after the big Hollywood awards night and could have had no idea he was heading to the hottest city in the U.S.

Perhaps that big move would have sweetened the pot. Because the SKIMs founder is a big fan of the 305. Her bestie Jonathan Cheban, aka Food God, lives here, and she has a bunch of famous friends like David Grutman, who owns basically every clubstaura­nt in town.

But we digress. Chemistry is chemistry. And Kardashian is apparently in no rush to get serious again, with three marriages behind her.

“It was never serious between Kim and Odell, but they are taking a pause on seeing each other,” a different source told UsWeekly of their so-called situations­hip. “It was always casual but Kim has been really busy with other priorities and isn’t putting in as much effort. The dynamic lost its spark.”

The source adds that they are still friends, so we may see the reality star in the bleachers someday soon.
