Rumors swirled around that former NBA player Lamar Odom and Karlie Redd of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fame could be an item earlier this month when they were spotted getting cozy at Yandy Smith’s birthday event. The unlikely couple appeared to go public last Wednesday as they posed for pictures together at a press conference for Peter Gunz’s upcoming celebrity boxing match.
It looks like the retired ballplayer has moved on and fast. At Wednesday night’s boxing event, Redd and Odom were pictured posing with their arms around each other and romantically holding hands. The rumored couple wore ear-to-ear grins as they locked eyes, proving that they might be head over heels for each other.

Odom officially broke off the relationship with his now ex-fiancée Sabrina Parr last December. The two had been off-and-on for several months.
Parr and Odom publicly bumped heads following their split after the former Los Angeles Lakers player accused her of changing the passwords to his social media and refusing to give him access.
“I’ve recently begged you to release my password. I can only post using the phone you set up — you don’t want me to expose you. So stop. Give me my password and my passport,” Odom wrote in a messy Instagram post.
