Last we heard, Kim Kardashian was dating someone mysterious known only as “Fred,” and it appears (unconfirmed!) as though the man in question is none other than Odell Beckham Jr. While neither Kimberly nor Odell have said a single thing about this rumor, they’re definitely hanging out together, and multiple sources are chatting about their vibes. So clearly the time has come for, well, a timeline.

Us Weekly speaks to an insider who says, “Kim isn’t officially dating anybody, but there is somebody who she’s interested in. So far, there have only been subtle flirtations between them, but they haven’t gone out yet.”
The source also says Kim is “interested in pursuing things” but “wants to keep it under the radar” and that “she’s not ready to be seen out on a date with anybody for the time being because she doesn’t want to make it a big deal. She knows once she’s seen on a date then things get blown out of proportion quickly, but there is somebody special she has her eye on so she’s excited about where things could go.”

Kim reveals she’s talking to “Fred” during an episode of The Kardashians, saying, “You obviously learn from every situation, and the one thing I learned from the last situation was the media made me feel like I was in a very serious relationship so quickly.

People reports Kim and OBJ are “still hanging out, but it’s pretty casual” and that “neither of them are in any big hurry to jump into something serious.”
Meanwhile, Us Weekly speaks to a source who says pretty much the opposite: that Kim and Odell are “getting serious” but “Odell’s personality is much more private” and he’s “low-key, while Kim’s more accustomed to the limelight.”
The Us Weekly source also confirms “their relationship has been blossoming longer than people thought—for like a year,” and that “neither one necessarily initiated things, but Odell did invite her to his birthday party last year,” before their connection grew “flirtatious pretty quickly.”
Apparently, these two are “trying to figure out the next steps” and are considering going public, so keep an eye on red carpets!

Odell likes to keep a low profile and Kim appreciates that. They have been friends for a long time and naturally vibe with one another. Things are just easy between them and he isn’t in it for the attention or spotlight.”
