Odell Beckham Jr has been a person of interest to sports fans right from his time in college. This interest went through the roof in his rookie year in the NFL when he made one of the best catches ever. In a game against the Dallas Cowboys, the then-New York Giants wide receiver used only three of his fingers to make a one-handed catch while diving backward into the end zone for a touchdown. The catch was so iconic that his game-worn jersey was later put on display by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In the years that followed, Odell continued to set himself apart from other players in his position, however, his performances soon began to deteriorate. That did not mean the athlete stopped making the headlines as he was talked about for his off-field antics. This included his rumored relationships with multiple high-profile women in and out of Hollywood. Beckham’s dating days seem to be a thing of the past though as he is now in a committed relationship with Lauren Wood, the soon-to-be mother of his kid.
Who Is Lauren Wood and What Is Her Ethnicity?
Lauren Wood is an ethnically White fitness trainer and Instagram model originally from Texas. Born on March 13, 1993, the social media influencer, who also goes by the name Lolowood, rose to fame in 2015 after appearing in the MTV improvisational comedy show, Wild ‘N Out. She would later appear on TV again when she landed a guest appearance role in the TV show Ballers.
Lolowood has more than 1.5 million followers on Instagram where she frequently updates her followers of what is going on in her life. She posts pictures and videos of her working out as well as of her and her partner Odell. Thanks to popularity and work, she has been able to land sponsorship deals with companies like Hot Miami Styles, Fashion Nova, and Pretty Little Thing.
They Began Dating In 2009
Odell Beckham Jr. and Lauren Wood first got involved with each other in November 2019. The two first exchanged flirty messages on social media before kickstarting a relationship. They kept things quiet in the beginning before making their first red carpet appearance together in February 2020 at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. But despite this apparent public announcement that they were seeing each other, they continued to keep a low profile which meant that details of their relationship were not known to the public. This also made people not pay attention to the supposed relationship as many thought it was just another one of Odell’s dalliances. It wasn’t until Lolo began to frequently post pictures of her attending his games. People later knew it was serious when a photo of her and his mother circulated on social media.
Going through her IG page, pictures of Odell and Lauren are sparsely littered. She doesn’t always post his pictures except on occasions when they are having a nice moment together. One such time was in January 2021 when Odell surprised her with a private plane ride to Sedona for a “daycation”. Another post was in February 2021 when they went for a winter vacation. Most recently, in April 2021, she shared photos of them aboard a yacht in the ocean. They were also pictured jet skiing in the open sea. If the pictures are anything to go about, the pair is without a doubt enjoying their best life in each other’s company.
Lauren Wood Announced That She and Odell Would Become Parents In 2022
Taking to Instagram on November 21, 2021, Lauren Wood announced that she and Beckham Jr. were expecting their first child together. While the athlete did not post anything on his own social media page, he left a comment on her announcement that said “Can’t wait baby!” His father, Odell Beckham Sr., however, reposted the picture, sharing his excitement over the news.

The video went on to cause a storm, as many blasted him for his irresponsible behavior.
