Odell Beckham Jr.'s long-standing desire to rejoin the New York Giants became reality on June 1, 2026, when he signed a one-year contract worth $1.3 million. Now, in the offseason, the wide receiver appears to be enjoying some cozy time with Greek model Polyxeni Ferfeli.
Resurfaced Photo Sparks Speculation
A social media account named "Cjay" shared an image of Beckham and Ferfeli on X, captioning it: "Odell Beckham Jr hits the beach in Cancun with girlfriend Polyxeni Ferfeli." However, the photo likely dates back to 2017-2018, when Beckham sported a blonde hairstyle and was romantically linked to the model. According to the WHO'S DATED WHO website, Beckham is currently single. Nonetheless, the image has reignited rumors linking him to Ferfeli.
Her Name Goes Viral
Polyxeni Ferfeli's name, which translates to "very hospitable" or "kind to strangers" in Greek, became viral content after an X account called "Commander" reposted Cjay's image with a caption: "M*f dating a prescription drug." The post amassed over 5 million views in a single day. The name sounds similar to medications like Polymyxin, Paroxetine, Felodipine, Ferfula, or Ferfol, leading to widespread online confusion and humor.
Social Media Reactions
Users flooded the post with witty comments. One wrote, "Could you imagine introducing ibuprofen to your mama?" Another quipped, "Mom, Dad! This is my first love, Xanax!" A user speculated, "Side effects of Polyxeni include weakness in the knees and poor financial decisions." Another post read, "I'm crying because that name absolutely belongs in a pharmacy commercial. That name sounds less like a human and more like something listed under side effects." Some defended the name, saying, "It's a Greek name, you guys," and "Just an average Greek name btw."
Is Polyxeni Ferfeli a Prescription Drug?
No, Polyxeni is a given name, and Ferfeli is a surname. ResearchGate profiles of Antonis Galanos, an MSc, PhD, and Statistician at the Laboratory for Research of the Musculoskeletal System, mention both names. In his 201 publications, a search for "polyxeni" reveals researcher Polyxeni Pikea in a "World Journal of AIDS" article, while a search for "ferfeli" shows Sofia Ferfeli in the "Journal of Musculoskeletal & Neuronal Interactions."
