KIM Kardashian isn’t in a rush to go public with her new man Odell Beckham Jr. – and The Sun can exclusively reveal why.

The pair set tongues wagging when they were seen at the legendary Vanity Fair post-Oscars bash on Sunday night and are said to have been quietly dating since September 2023.

But unlike her previous relationships, reality legend Kim and the NFL wide receiver are keeping their romance hidden from cameras – for now.

Behind closed doors, the pair are said to making no secret of the fact they are an item though.

At the Vanity Fair shindig, which took place at The Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills, the couple arrived separately but once inside were pretty much joined at the hip.

According to People magazine, it was “clear they were together.”

A spy told the publication: “There wasn’t a ton of PDA like some of the other couples, but there was a lot of touching, and they were right near each other the entire time. They were careful about not being too all over each other, but there was lots of chemistry, and they left together.”

In the past, Kim has allowed cameras to follow her romances on her various reality shows, with the likes of ex husbands Kanye West and Kris Humphries starring on her E! and Hulu series.

Her former fling Pete Davidson also featured on The Kardashians.

But while Kim has been seen at other events with Odell – the two were most recently seen together at a Super Bowl party at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas – she is following a different script with her latest love interest.

Insiders exclusively tell The Sun she is deliberately avoiding repeating any past mistakes.

The source said: “Kim is really into Odell – she’s really keen and he seems to be too. Kim is telling friends she’s keeping things casual with him, but the problem with Kim is that it never stays that way for long – like her sisters, she can get serious very quickly with men.

“The only issue is they’re on separate timelines – he wants to settle down and have more kids in the next few years, but I think Kim is done with that.

“And then there’s the Kanye issue – she doesn’t want to set Kanye off again by being too public with her new man, and Odell doesn’t want to get caught up in that mess and drama.”

The Sun has approached Kim’s rep for comment.

Kim shares four kids –  North,10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm West, four, with her ex husband Kanye.

While they maintain a cordial relationship for their kids, the rapper continues to court controversy.

As The Sun recently revealed, he has been blacklisted from tour venues around the world after the 46-year-old was accused of racism and anti-semitism.

Back in December, he went into an an online rant about Jesus Christ and Hitler, while a stream of racy pictures of wife Bianca Censori have raised plenty of eyebrows.
