We may have a brand new celebrity power couple on the horizon... eek!
That's because, during last night's Super Bowl big-name after-party, much-loved reality star Kim Kardashian was papped cosying up an NFL star following speculation that sparks have been flying between the pair recently.
According to the Mail Online, the SKIMS boss, 43, and Odell Beckham Jr, 31, have reportedly been seeing each in secret for several weeks but have sought to keep their romance away from the public eye.

In fact, prior to being photographed together at the American football championship, an inside source reportedly told the publication that mother-of-four Kim and father-of-one Odell had been 'romantically involved' since last summer'.
The pair allegedly wanted to keep their chemistry 'under wraps', however, being that the Baltimore Ravens star had split from long-term girlfriend Lauren 'LoLo' Wood - with whom he shares one-year-old son Zydn - in September.
"She is not seeing anyone else right now – at least not that her close friends know of," the source claimed.
"Kim really wanted to keep this romance private for two reasons. One is that he has a one-year-old son with his ex Lauren Woods. They both wanted to avoid any speculation that he left Lauren for Kim – branding Kim a homewrecker."
A source also told PEOPLE Magazine at the time that the pair had been 'hanging out'.
The Mail Online went on to claim that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star sought to prevent ex-husband Kanye West chiming in on their romance, after he had a lot to say about Kim's temporary fling with SNL frontman Pete Davidson.
"After what Kanye put Pete Davidson through, Kim wants to avoid that at all costs," they claimed. "It is only a matter of time now before Kanye says something publicly, but he has no solid proof."
Despite allegedly hoping to remain under the radar, A-listers Kim and Odell were last night photographed together leading to the Super Bowl after-party.
In snaps obtained by SpashNews, Kim - who shares children North, ten, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four, with ex-husband Kanye - could be seen following Odell through a lavish doorway, several steps behind.
The star was papped donning a dark chocolate backless top with plunging, matching bell-bottom brown trousers and a black cowboy hat, whilst her 'new beau' wore a pair of abstract black and white trousers with matching leather jacket.
An onlooker from the party later told PEOPLE of the pair: "There wasn't any PDA, but they definitely seemed together.
"They were hanging out in a bigger group with Khloé [Kardashian], Kendall [Jenner], Justin [Bieber], Hailey [Bieber] and some other friends, having a great time."
And it seems like their reported romance has divided fans since the duo were photographed together last night, later heading to The Wynn in Sin City not long after.
Some fans of the celebrity 'couple' are desperate to see them making their romance official, with one penning on social media last night: "I'm totally shipping Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jnr. They look cute together I dont care."
While another noted: "I ain't mad at it!'
Others, however, aren't convinced by the pair's compatibility.
"Kim no matter who you stand on side of you’ll never look better than standing on side of Ye," one wrote.
Another went on: "Odell the Kardashian curse ain’t worth it brotha."
Tyla contacted Kim and Odell's representatives for comment.
