On Tuesday, Sept. 19, the former “Wild ‘N Out” girl shared a series of selfies with a caption that read, “Staying present in the moment is the closest you get to trusting the process.” 

Many Instagram users complimented Wood on her “beautiful” eyes and blond hair in her comments section. Although her message wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular, several raced to bring up the 42-year-old Skims founder. 

“Kim K ain’t got nothing on you.” 

“I’ll wipe the floor w Kim just so you can walk on a clean surface.” 

“Big L for Obj and It don’t stand for Lolo.”

“ODELL FUMBLED I WONT !!!!!!!! Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn.” 

Hearsay about a possible love connection between Kardashian and Beckham, 30, sparked earlier this week after People magazine and other outlets confirmed that the two had been “hanging out.”

Both social figures share a few mutual friends in common and the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star has attended a few football games when Beckham played for the Los Angeles Rams. She reportedly took her and Kanye West’s son, Saint West, to a game to celebrate his seventh birthday back in December.

Beckham and the socialite also were spotted in photos from Mike Rubin’s annual all-white party on the fourth of July.

Despite rumors that the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver was Kardashian’s next love interest, sources close to the pair told TMZ that they are just friends. 

The reality star has been single for quite some time since finalizing her divorce from the “Graduation” rapper last November. The former power couple was married for six years and in addition to Saint, they also share 10-year-old North West, 5-year-old Chicago West, and 4-year-old Psalm West. 

Nearly nine months after their split, the mother of four found herself in a romantic fling with comedian Pete Davidson, which reportedly didn’t last longer than nine months.

Meanwhile, Beckham and Wood, 30, were an item for four years before reportedly calling it quits. They went public with their relationship in 2019 and welcomed a son together, 1-year-old Zydn Beckham, in 2022. 

Although they are no longer together, they appear to have maintained a healthy co-parenting relationship. For her birthday this past March, OBJ shared a heartfelt birthday tribute on Instagram, where he tagged their child’s personal page. In the caption, he described her as a “dope momma” and expressed his gratitude for all she’s done for their little family. 

It is currently unclear what caused their breakup, but sources told TMZ that they parted ways at the beginning of the year.

But this wouldn’t be Kardashian’s first time dating an NFL player. She dated former New Orleans Saints player Reggie Bush from 2007-2010.

A few years back, Beckham also was rumored to be romantically linked with her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian. However, they both refuted the chatter.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
