Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had his best season since 2019 this year. While that may not seem like eons ago, that season was the last one where COVID-19 was not a mainstay in society’s vocabulary.
Granted, Beckham didn’t return to the All-Pro heights he achieved to begin his NFL career. Beckham finished tied for third in team receptions this year with 35 and second in receiving yards with 565.
Many likely recall the torrid postseason run he went on with the Los Angeles Rams a few seasons ago. Beckham registered 21 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns in 3.5 postseason games with L.A. His contributions were instrumental to the Rams capturing a Lombardi trophy that year.
The Ravens hope for similar production from Beckham in this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
Who Is Odell Beckham Jr.’s Ex, Lauren Wood?
Ravens fans will be out in full force cheering Beckham on. But the attendance of one woman who’d been a mainstay in his life for most of the past half-decade is unclear.
Lauren Wood, who often goes by “LoLo,” is evidently a jack of all trades. Her beauty jumps out almost instantly and makes the fact that she’s a model unsurprising.
She’s also cultivated quite a following, with almost two million followers on Instagram. The Texas native is also a fitness trainer and uses her platform to share informational workout videos and other personal vlogs.
Wood didn’t cultivate so large a following by virtue of her workout videos alone. Wood’s star grew substantially after a two-year stint she did on MTV’s hugely popular sketch comedy series, “Wild ‘N’ Out.” That helped lead her to her latest opportunity with the network, one which will garner her even more exposure.
Wood announced this past March that she’d join Rob Dyrdek as a co-host on MTV’s “Ridiculousness.”
As it pertains to her relationship with Beckham, the two went “Instagram official” in November 2019. Updates on the couple were infrequent, but nothing to indicate their partnership was anything less than blissful.

Beckham announced the birth of his son, Zydn Beckham, in February 2022. The now-toddler has an active Instagram account of his own and is nearing closer to 40,000 followers. Unfortunately, it seems his mom and dad split shortly after his birth.
According to Yahoo (via TMZ), the couple broke up early in 2023. Neither party ever made any sort of public announcement, but Beckham was linked to Kim Kardashian in September of last year.
Wood seemed to respond to that in a post of her own, an Instagram selfie captioned: “Staying present in the moment is the closest you get to trusting the unknown.”
Of course, the details are sparse from the perspective of an outsider. Relationships end every day; there’s no sense in casting judgment on either Wood or Beckham. One just hopes they coexist as best they can in order to successfully and harmoniously co-parent their son.
