Odell Beckham Jr. could be in the running to be Zendaya's new man. The two have the rumor wheel spinning with claims that they are romantically involved after they were spotted together at a Grammy Awards after-party.
The 19-year-old Disney Channel alum and the 23-year-old wide receiver for the New York Giants attended Universal Music Group's Grammys after-party at The Theatre At The Ace Hotel in LA on Monday, where they reportedly cozied up to each other and posed for photos together on the red carpet, according to E! News.
The pair "stuck together like glue" on the red carpet - with Beckman slipping his arm around the Zendaya's waist - and did not separate until photographers requested individual shots, according to People Magazine.
"They were close, whispering in each other's ears and maintaining a very flirty vibe," an eyewitness told E! News publication. The two were also joined by Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman.
A partygoer told HollywoodLife that Zendaya and Beckham "were acting like a couple. No heavy PDA, but they were very close. They came together and left together."
After Universal's party, Zendaya, who sported a honey blonde mullet, and Beckham headed over to the Republic Records party at Hyde Sunset Kitchen & Cocktails, where they reportedly "shared laughs as they sat together in a booth," People reported.
So, does the Disney darling's dad approve? No exactly! While leaving a party with his daughter and Beckman, Papa Coleman told TMZ that their outing was more like an "audition" and "interview" than a date.
"What relationship?" he said to TMZ when asked if he approved. "There's no relationship, we're just friends. When you see my daughter out on a date without me, it's a relationship."
As for Zendaya, she recently told Complex Magazine for a December 2015/January 2016 cover story that she does not have time for a boyfriend.
"Any male that I've ever been around in my life - if they follow me on Twitter, if they look at me, if they breathe the same air as me, we've dated," she told Complex. "You've got to realize my schedule is kind of nuts. I don't have time to go out and get to know somebody. If I didn't know you from the last three or four years of my life, it's probably too late."
