An insider told PEOPLE in September that Kardashian and Beckham Jr. had been "hanging out."
At the time, multiple sources confirmed the NFL pro and his longtime model girlfriend Lauren Wood had officially split. (Beckham and Wood share a son, Zydn, whom they welcomed together in February 2022, while Kardashian, 42, has four children with her ex Kanye West.)

It's not the first time Kardashian has been linked to a football player.
In 2007, she began dating the then-New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush. Their relationship played out in front of the cameras on the first season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. They eventually broke up in 2010 due to the busy demands of their respective careers.
In 2010, Bush reflected on his time with Kardashian, telling the Rachael Ray on her talk show that the media attention that came with the territory was rough on him. "I play football, and most football players are camera shy,” he said at the time. “We just want to be left alone, we just want to stick to what we do.” He added that while he doesn’t love the cameras, “I do it because it’s important to [Kim].”

This past summer, Kardashian was spotted looking friendly with legendary quarterback Tom Brady, but it was just that — friendship.
Michael Rubin, who hosted the July 4th party where the pair were first seen chatting, said two weeks later: "Honestly, they're just friends" and that he and his friends "always want to laugh" about the "crazy rumors" that pop up.
More recently, Kardashian was married to West, 46, from 2014 to 2021 (the exes finalized their divorce in November 2022), and she dated Pete Davidson for nine months last year before they went their separate ways.
