Odell Beckham Jr.'s younger brother is carving out his own spotlight in the world—and you might be surprised by how! Odell Beckham Jr., who recently accepted a six-game suspension from the NFL due to a failed performance-enhancing drug test last year, faces a major setback that sidelines him until Week 12. Though he's a Super Bowl-winning wide receiver and was with the Miami Dolphins last season, his NFL career is undoubtedly at a crossroads. But here’s where it gets intriguing: Odell isn’t the only Beckham making waves. His siblings, especially his younger brother Kordell, are stepping into the limelight with their unique talents and stories.
Odell, now 32, is the eldest of five siblings, including twins Jasmyne and Kordell who are both 23, as well as Sonny, 11, and Summer, 7. While Odell is widely known not only for his football achievements but also for his brief relationship with Kim Kardashian, his brother Kordell is rapidly gaining attention as a reality TV personality after starring on the sixth season of Love Island USA. Here’s a deeper look at Kordell’s journey and why he’s becoming impossible to ignore.
1. Kordell Beckham: Love Island USA’s breakout star
Kordell quickly became a fan favorite during Love Island USA's sixth season, thanks to his playful charm and standout fashion choices. His upbeat personality resonated with viewers, leading him to win the season alongside his partner, Serena Page, who is now his girlfriend. The duo also appeared in Peacock's spin-off series, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, this past summer, giving fans a closer glimpse into their relationship post-show.
2. Modeling roots and unwavering family support
Before stepping foot into the reality TV world, Kordell built his career as a model, walking numerous runway shows. Throughout his modeling journey, his older brother Odell was openly supportive, consistently praising Kordell’s efforts on social media. In response to one of Kordell's photoshoots, Odell wrote, "Tuffffffff," and when Kordell hit the runway, Odell commented, "Love u twin!!!" This sibling bond highlights how both brothers uplift each other’s ambitions, even though their paths differ greatly.
3. Dedicated cat dad: Meet Milo
Adding a softer touch to his public persona, Kordell is also a proud cat dad. He adopted Milo, a charming orange cat, found stranded during a Texas rainstorm. Kordell shared with People magazine how Milo was initially scared but has since become his loyal companion who follows him everywhere. Interestingly, viewers of Love Island: Beyond the Villa got to witness Serena trying her paw at cat mom duties. Kordell remains confident they will both get along well with Milo, emphasizing the importance of their little family.
4. Expanding horizons: Acting debut with Keke Palmer
Branching beyond reality television, Kordell is set to make his scripted acting debut in a new series produced by Keke Palmer called Southern Fried Rice. The show centers on a Gen-Z Asian American girl raised by Southern Black parents and her experience navigating identity and community at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Kordell will portray Steve, a laid-back, artsy character, marking an exciting new chapter in his career. This transition showcases Kordell’s versatility and ambition far beyond reality TV fame.
5. From Texas roots to L.A. life
Though Kordell was born and raised in Texas, the success of Love Island USA prompted a big move to Los Angeles, where his girlfriend Serena was already based. Despite the close relationship, the couple hasn’t taken the step to live together yet. Serena candidly revealed to People that while the next milestone could be engagement, for now, she’s enjoying living solo: "No apartment. There's none of that. The next step would be engagement... I can live with you when we're engaged." This glimpse into their relationship dynamics adds a relatable, real-life dimension to their young romance.
And this is the part most people miss—while Odell’s sports career faces uncertainty, Kordell is confidently building his own diverse portfolio in entertainment and modeling, proving the Beckham name is evolving beyond just football.
But here’s a question for you: Do you think Kordell’s rise will eventually overshadow Odell’s legacy in the public eye? Or is this just the natural evolution of a family with multiple talents? Share your thoughts below—this sibling story is far from over, and the debate is just heating up.
