“I’m Not Convinced It’s Real”: Odell Beckham Jr.’s Ex-GF Lauren Wood Reacts To Snaps With Son At Grand Canyon

Odell Beckham Jr.’s ex-girlfriend Lauren ‘Lolo’ Wood recently took their son Zydn on a hiking trip to the Grand Canyon, and the pics could not be any better. Wood posted a bunch of pics of the fun trip, where Zydn can be seen clearly enjoying the getaway.

Beckham Jr. and Lolo Wood were in a relationship for quite some time before the model broke it off with the footballer for apparently linking up with Kim Kardashian. Since then, the two have been doing a pretty great job of co-parenting their little boy.

“This is your sign to take that family road trip! Cup = full. The Grand Canyon? Massive. Breathtaking (literally) Disrespectfully windy. I’m not convinced it’s real…my brain kept buffering trying to comprehend the scale” Lauren Wood captioned her Instagram post, showing off her hiking trip with friends to the Grand Canyon.

“I kno he wore yalll out!” Odell Beckham Jr. commented on Lauren Wood’s Instagram post with a heart-eyed emoji.

Meanwhile, Odell Beckham Jr. is still looking for a team to play in the 2025 NFL season. Last year, Beckham Jr.s former team, the Miami Dolphins, announced that they were releasing him. The player, although talented, never found himself at home with the team, and as a result underperformed. The 32-year-old wide receiver has mentioned that he would like to play for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Pittsburgh Steelers in the upcoming NFL season.

Odell Beckham Jr. Mourns Kyren Lacy’s Tragic Death

Odell Beckham Jr. was just one of many veteran footballers who posted their tributes for Kyren Lacy, after the young talented player died through suicide on Saturday night. Lacy was chased by cops when he crashed his car on purpose according to police reports. The former LSU Tigers wide receiver was involved in legal troubles after his rash driving led to a negligent homicide last December.

“Rest Easy Lil Bro” Odell Beckham Jr. posted on his Instagram as a tribute to Kyren Lacy.

Just like Kyren Lacy, Odell Beckham Jr. is also a product of Louisiana State, having played for the LSU Tigers from 2011 to 2013. Beckham Jr. was eventually picked up by the New York Giants as the 12th pick in the very first round of the 2014 NFL draft.

After playing for the New York Giants for four seasons, Beckham Jr. moved around to different teams, including the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens. Currently, Beckham Jr. is a free agent and is keeping his fingers crossed that some team picks him up for the 2025 NFL season.
