Dating Rumors Sparked After Super Bowl Champion Odell Beckham Jr Was Spotted On Date With Euphoria Star Zendaya, AND Her FATHER Who Kept Close Eye On Him

Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the few players in the NFL to attain celebrity status. Whether it came via his impressive connections in Hollywood; his oral healthcare brand in collaboration with Kendall Jenner; or his flamboyant personality, one cannot deny OBJ is one of the NFL’s most elite wide receivers.

With this celebrity status comes a ton of media attention. OBJ is usually spotted surrounded by paparazzi desperate to get a quote or photograph of the Super Bowl Champion. The one time the media spotted him at the right time and the right place was when they snapped him with Euphoria and Spiderman star, Zendaya.

Did Zendaya date Odell Beckham Jr?

The former Giants WR is currently in a relationship with model Lauren Wood. The couple recently witnessed the birth of their first child, who is currently six months old. However, in 2016, OBJ was spotted leaving a party together with Zendaya Coleman. Coleman is currently dating her Spiderman co-star, British actor Tom Holland.

While a relationship like this would send people into a frenzy, a member of Zendaya’s family quickly refuted the dating rumors. Her father, Kazembe Coleman, spoke to TMZ and clarified the rumors surrounding his daughter. According to him, he was present with OBJ and Zendaya at the party they left together.

“There’s no relationship. We’re just friends. When you see my daughter out on a date without me, it’s a relationship,” he said jokingly. We cannot discount the fact that OBJ and Zendaya would make a sterling Hollywood couple. However, fate had something else written for the both of them.

Zendaya’s Dad approved of OBJ!

What comes as a bigger surprise is that despite denying the dating rumours, Zendaya’s dad was actually in approval of the football star. He claimed the time he hung out with Zendaya and her rumored boyfriend was an ‘audition’ and that he passed with flying colours. He even told TMZ that OBJ was the perfect gentleman, and sent a positive message to the WR’s parents as well. Kazembe Coleman became an overnight sensation for chaperoning his daughter and her date.

Zendaya and OBJ have sky-rocketed in their respective fields. A Disney star, Emmy award-winning actress and a successful singing career, Zendaya has done it all. As for OBJ, just re-watch his insane run for the LA Rams that led them to the Super Bowl.

No one except OBJ knows his future. While residents of LA would love to have him stick around, there’s no doubting that several franchises are circling him like sharks. Will we continue seeing OBJ tear it up alongside Stafford and Cooper Kupp, or will we see him take his talents to Dallas, make his dream come true by working with Belichick, or create an unstoppable force by joining the GOAT’s WR corps in Tampa Bay.
