NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. has been a force in the sports world for quite some time.
Throughout the multiple teams he’s landed his talents to, Odell grew his fanbase who tuned in to see which impressive move he’ll make on the field. However, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention how Odell’s good looks, along with his love connections with certain famous women, has also kept OBJ in the news.
Whether you know him from his professional or personal life, Odell is likely the most famous person in his family. At least, until now. The football champ’s younger brother, Kordell Beckham, is ready to take the family into the reality TV stratosphere as one of the stars of Season 6 of Love Island USA.
Here’s what to know about Kordell and his and Odell’s brotherly bond.
Who is Odell Beckham Jr.’s brother, Kordell Beckham?
Season 6 of Love Island USA premiered on Peacock on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. The new season introduced ten singles, or “Islanders” who are looking to find love — and possibly win some cash — while hanging out in Fiji with host and Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.
Among the contestants picked to live and frolic around a tropical villa is Kordell. However, due to his famous family ties, he might already be accustomed to fabulous living. Kordell, 21, is Odell’s, 31, younger brother. According to People, they’re technically half brothers, as Kordell and his sister, Summer, are Odell’s dad, Odell Beckham Sr.’s younger children.
According to his Love Island Season 6 bio, Kordell is based in Dallas, Texas and was born in Houston. He describes himself as a “yapper” who “loves to talk” and is a “true country boy and loves to ride horses.” When he’s not chopping it up with someone or riding through the country,
Kordell works as a Aircraft Fueler and is also making waves in the modeling industry.
His Instagram account shows several photos of Kordell walking a runway or posing for an editorial shoot. Kordell’s social media page is also aesthetically pleasing, and he likely took notes from his big brother.

Kordell’s brother, Odell, seemingly supports his brother in climbing the fame ladder. The brothers have appeared together on Kordell’s Instagram account. In January 2024, he posted a photo of them standing outside and captioned the cinematic images, “Man, let me tell you bout my brother.”
Then, in April 2024, Kordell shared another photo of him and Odell beside another car. Only this time, it was Odell’s luxury Maybach Benz. Talk about a family outing!
“Say dat then, Maybach Benz with me in the back,” Kordell captioned his and Odell’s photo.
In addition to posting content of him and Odell enjoying their time together, Kordell didn’t avoid sharing his famous big brother on Love Island USA. His Love Island bio showed that “Kordell comes from a long lineage of athletes – his older brother is NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.”
While Odell hasn’t expressed his support for his younger sibling publicly, we’re sure he’s overjoyed about his big break!
