Sadly, their relationship only lasted a few months, but what would you expect when one is 13 and the other is 12? According to College Candy, fan rumors suggest it lasted two years but most likely because the kids watching wanted to believe their favorite TV stars were an item in real life.

Another rumor — or so everyone thinks — is that Zendaya dated NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. So how did that get started? According to College Candy, she was seen leaving a Grammy’s afterparty with Beckham Jr. but Zendaya’s father claimed, “it’s an audition!” An audition for what? Daddy’s approval?

It was indeed an audition for Dad’s approval. According to My Houston Majic, Zendaya later said, “Just cause you in the NFL doesn’t mean you get a little slide or a little pass. You gotta go through dad, okay?” So what happened next? Dad said of a second date, “I would approve. He actually was a perfect gentleman, he was polite, he was courteous, he was respectful in every way. I commend that young man and his parents on how they raised him.” Maybe that’s why the relationship ended before it really began.
