Following this year’s Grammys, Zendaya and Odell Beckham Jr. sparked dating rumors after they were spotted out together at Universal Music Group's afterparty. She recently opened up about their relationship during a sit-down with New York’s 92.3 AMP Radio.
While she did not confirm whether or not the two were in fact a couple, she did reveal that Beckham is “auditioning” to win her over, with her father’s approval, of course.
“It wasn’t really a date,” she said. “We went to some events together because we’re friends…Even if it does progress, you gotta go through my dad first. Just because you are in the NFL and you’re killing stuff right now doesn’t mean you get to skip passed pops.”
Luckily for Beckham, he received a stamp of approval from Zendaya’s father and has been cleared for a second date.
“He actually was a perfect gentleman,” the 19-year-old’s dad told TMZ. “He was polite. He was courteous. He was respectful in every way and I commend that young man and his parents on how they raised him.”
If their relationship does become more serious, Zendaya and Beckham would certainly make for a power couple.
Last month, the singer-actress revealed that she had officially become the new face of CoverGirl. Her first CoverGirl TV commercial aired live during the Grammys on Feb. 15. She's already an X Out spokeswoman and in September she became the first celebrity ambassador for Chi haircare.
Beckham, on the other hand, has been regarded as the NFL’s best receiver. Back in December, Sun Times reported that through his first 25 games, Beckham had more receptions and receiving yards than any other player in NFL history. The New York Giants wide receiver was featured on the cover of the new Madden '16 video game and has sponsorship deals with Nike and Foot Locker. He also starred in a commercial for Head and Shoulders.
