If you don’t know who OBJ is, then you probably don’t follow football.
Born on November 5, 1992, Odell Beckham Jr. was a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams and currently a free agent after a string of injuries, but several teams are interested in him, including the Rams and Buffalo Bills.
He was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and like any good Louisiana-loving football player, he stayed in-state for college at Louisiana State University.
His name has been commonplace in the world of football ever since the New York Giants drafted him in 2014. This star is popular on and off the field, and you’ll often find him on the cover of Hollywood magazines.
The man’s drive and love for a good time undoubtedly attracted his girlfriend Lauren Wood. The young model and actress is a giant fan of her boyfriend and attends a lot of his games. Plus, she’s the mother of his child!

Let’s take a closer look at their lives and explore their relationship:
Beckham tore his ACL back in 2020 during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals and hasn't fully recovered. Still, that didn’t keep him from helping the Rams win Super Bowl LVI (which cost him a second ACL tear).
The Louisiana native is an accomplished athlete. Before the college playoffs existed, he competed in the 2012 Bowl Championship Series game as a freshman at LSU. Then, in his premier season with the NFL, he broke several rookie records — and this was after missing his first four games.
With more than 10 touchdowns, 1100 yards and 75 catches in his first season, he caught everyone’s attention. He was the first rookie player to ever accomplish this feat, and he decimated the average reception yards per game for a rookie.
Then, week 12 came along, and a single catch propelled him into stardom. It was November 23, 2014, on a Sunday night. Led by Tony Romo, the Cowboys were looking for a win. And while they got their win, the NY Giant’s OBJ got something even better — the greatest catch of all time.
Fast forward to the end of the season, and the Giants’ wide receiver won Rookie of the Year. A couple of years later, OBJ became the quickest player ever to obtain 200 catches and 4000 receiving yards. He also caught 100 passes that season (the first, but not the last time he accomplished this feat).
That same year he made his debut in the playoffs and got Pro Bowl status for the third season in a row. He went on to play for the Cleveland Browns and then later the Los Angeles Rams. In his first season with the Rams (a partial one), they went and won the Super Bowl, but that was the game that tore his ACL.
The player has been out of commission ever since but is looking to join a roster for the 2022 season. Now a free agent, both the Bills and the Rams are interested in taking him on. Apparently, he loved his time in the states of California and New York more than his time in Ohio.
Odell Beckham Jr.'s girlfriend Lauren Wood often goes by her nickname LoLo. She is a model, fitness trainer and actress born on March 13, 1993. From appearing on MTV to being a social media star, her life is about as crazy as her star athlete boyfriend.
The 29-year-old was often seen on Nick Cannon’s Wild ’n’ Out, an improv comedy show on MTV, between 2014-2016. The television personality often posts videos of her at the gym, traveling and motherhood.
The Texas native’s 1.8 million Instagram followers can expect to see her flaunt brands like Novex, Pretty Little Thing, Fashion Nova and Hot Miami Styles. You can find her on TikTok as well, but she keeps a lower profile on the short-video platform.
Despite her many accomplishments as an influencer, her main claim to fame is her relationship with OBJ, and the pair seem quite happy.

When Did Beckham and Wood Start Dating?
Typically known for keeping their personal lives low-key, Beckham and Wood have shared glimpses of their relationship on Instagram: From birthday wishes to photos of their child, this relationship is going strong.
We are not sure exactly how or when the two started dating, but on November 5th, 2019, their romance became Instagram official. It was Beckham’s 27th birthday, and he received a happy birthday post from Lauren saying how pure his soul is (and also how yummy he is).
The couple made their red carpet debut in early February 2020, at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, California.
During the pandemic, Beckham and Wood stuck close and quarantined together in LA. With access to all the things the Pro Bowler’s millions of dollars could buy, they did not have it too rough at all. They practiced their basketball and football skills, swam in the pool, and exercised in a state-of-the-art gym.

Do Beckham and Wood Have Children?

"The words, I can’t even put together for the overwhelming emotions that ran thru me … a moment I will never forget and cherish forever," Beckham wrote on Instagram. "Ur strength throughout this gives me the courage to keep goin because i now kno with u by my side and holding it down for me, I can get thru anything. I love u so much."
Wood shared a photo of Zydn’s feet on Instagram, announcing the baby’s arrival with a sweet message. "Watching you become the dad I always knew you would be, but actually seeing it happen, I am forever grateful & so in love," the new mother wrote. "I now know what it Truly means, ‘it takes a village’. Ms independent had to go sit tf down."
She went on to thank her boyfriend, their mothers, midwife, friends and son.
