Kim Kardashian was accused of having one of the most boring VIP Super Bowl boxes at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday.
But everyone was wrong.
It turns out her $1 million box was a hot zone for love as her new boyfriend hid in the background, minding his own business, while Kim hung out with her sister Khloe Kardashian and friend Lala Anthony chatted.
A closer look at one of the many pictures taken on game day – when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers – revealed that Odell was hiding in the box full of A-listers.
The Baltimore Ravens football player could be seen in the back row of the grand box looking at his cell phone.
He's not looking at the camera, so it's hard to say it was him, but it actually was him.
In front of him were Kim and her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, as well as Justin Bieber and his supermodel wife Hailey Bieber, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and his singer Ciara, Anthony and model Winnie Harlow.
Kim Kardashian was accused of having one of the most boring VIP Super Bowl boxes at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday. But everyone was wrong. See her new boyfriend Odell Beckham Jr. in the back?
Odell was in the back row, hiding behind three guys. He wore a black cap and had his head bowed. Kim also sat in the front row wearing a black hat
The SKKN owner was also seen accompanied by Odell as she returned to her hotel suite at the Wynn Tower Suites in Las Vegas on February 10, as seen in photos obtained by .
The 43-year-old reality TV star and the 31-year-old soccer player have been happily together for five months but are careful to stay under the radar to avoid judgment, UsWeekly reported last week.
“Odell’s personality is much more private than Kardashian’s,” a source told the site.
The athlete is rather “reserved,” it was said, and he doesn't want to make headlines like Kanye West, Kris Humphries, Reggie Bush and, more recently, Pete Davidson.
Now the SKIMS founder and the football wide receiver are trying to figure out “the next steps” in their romance.
It seems like a strange connection since her younger sister Khloe reportedly briefly dated Odell in 2016. Odell also collaborated with Kim's younger half-sister Kendall Jenner for the Moon toothpaste campaign in 2021.
Kim and Odell were also in Los Angeles together in early February.
They were at the same pre-Grammy party where TMZ claimed there were rumors they were in love.
The star-studded pre-Grammy party was hosted by Jay-Z at the exclusive Bird Streets Club and was also attended by other celebs including Lil Uzi Vert and Kris Jenner's boyfriend Corey Gamble.

A source told that Kim is cautious about her relationship with Odell.
But she wants to remain a mother as speculation about their romance continues. “Kim wants to keep her love life as private as possible at the moment,” an insider told .
On Monday, Kim was accused of having a very boring box at the Super Bowl.
While Kim looked at her phone with her head bowed, opponent Taylor Swift put her arms in the air as she cheered on her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Both boxes were littered with VIP names (and Kim had even bigger names around her than Taylor), but the temperature was a stark contrast.
In Kim's camp, a man even appeared to be sleeping in his seat.
But it turns out there was a lot going on in that box because her new love interest was there the whole time.
Kim and Taylor have a negative past, which includes Kim's ex-husband Kanye West, so a comparison of their two boxes was inevitable.

In Taylor's box were Blake Lively, singers Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey, and Top Gun: Maverick actor Miles Teller with model wife Keleigh Teller. A bonus pal: Emma Stone's stylist friend Ashley Avignone
In Kim's box were her two sisters, Khloe and Kendall. That's a lot of star power.
And the Keeping Up With the Kardashian vet also had pal Justin Bieber and his supermodel wife Hailey Bieber.
Also visible were Wilson and fellow singer Ciara, who sat a row away from Kim.
Reality TV star Anthony, who was previously married to basketball star Carmelo Anthony, was also spied as she sat next to Kim and then greeted Ciara.
Harlow was also seen looking at her cell phone and didn't appear to be talking to anyone much.
In Taylor's box was film and television star Blake Lively, who is married to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.
Also in attendance were singers Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey and RIOTUSA as well as Top Gun: Maverick actor Miles Teller with model wife Keleigh Teller.
A bonus pal: Emma Stone's stylist friend Ashley Avignone.
There are a lot of factors to consider: Kim is much older at 43, a busy reality TV star and SKIMS mogul, as well as a mother of four, and has been to several football games in the past (she used to date Reggie Bush, after all ).

Hailey Bieber rested her head on the back of her seat that said “Justin Bieber.”

Taylor is 34 years old and still fresh in all of this, plus she's one of the key players on the field so was very invested in the game.
The Kansas City Chiefs ultimately defeated the slight favorites San Francisco 49ers 25-22 when Patrick Mahomes threw a game-winning three-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime.
Kim and Taylor have a past.
Swift criticized Kim for making her “mentally depressed” during her 2023 Person of the Year interview with TIME Magazine. Taylor revealed details about the argument, which arose when Kim's then-husband Kanye West included explicit lyrics about the rising star in a 2016 song.
Kanye claimed that Taylor gave her consent for the reference. However, after Taylor denied this, Kim intervened by releasing what the pop star described as an “illegally recorded phone call” between them, aiming to prove otherwise.
Taylor expressed that the resulting public fallout felt like “a career death,” emphasizing, “Make no mistake – my career has been taken away from me.”
Reflecting on the aftermath and the toll it took on her well-being, Taylor told the magazine, “You have a completely fabricated frame job in an illegally recorded phone call that Kim Kardashian edited and then told everyone that I was a liar.”
“It took me to a place mentally that I had never been before.” I moved to a foreign country. I didn't leave a rented house for a year. “I was afraid of being called.”
“I pushed away most of the people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore. 'I fell really, really hard.'
The conflict between Taylor, Kim and Kanye began to surface back in 2009 and came to the fore unexpectedly when the then 19-year-old Taylor won Best Female Video for You Belong with Me at the MTV Video Music Awards. During her acceptance speech, Kanye suddenly burst onto the stage out of nowhere, snatched the microphone from her and declared, “Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all.” times. One of the absolute best!'
To ease the awkwardness, Beyoncé later invited Taylor on stage when she won Single Female Video of the Year (Put a Ring on It), graciously giving the country music star a moment in the spotlight.
However, the tension continued as the father of four embarrassed the star again at the 2015 VMAs. It seemed like the two were getting along well as Kanye joked, “Do you know how many times they announced that Taylor was going to give me the award because it got them more reviews?”
However, Taylor later admitted his statement bothered her as he publicly implied it was ratings-related while privately urging her to go on stage with him because it “would mean so much”. Taylor later told Rolling Stone, “I stood in the audience with my arm around his wife and a shiver ran through my body.” I realized he was two-faced. That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool and stand up in front of everyone and talk shit. And I was so upset.'
In recent months, Taylor has been making more headlines than the games themselves as she has flown across the country to support her husband at his games.
At every game she attends, fans' eyes are glued to her reactions in her suite and the reactions of those celebrating around her.
Numerous celebrities flocked to the Vegas arena for the biggest night in American football, including Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.
But not everyone made it to Taylor's suite, and Beyonce – who is part of Taylor's squad – opted to watch the game in a separate box with husband Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy.
Former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey was also there.
