Final weekend, Kendall Jenner shocked the tabloids by participating in some conduct she has by no means earlier than dared to do in public: She hugged her maybe-boyfriend. That’s proper — she hugged him. At Drake’s tour cease on the Kia Discussion board in Los Angeles, she embraced Unhealthy Bunny, whom she is rumored to be relationship, holding his face in her arms. And in full view of photographers! In Jenner’s lengthy profession of relationship different celebrities, there has by no means been such a public show of affection.
Not like her well-known older sisters, who’ve made their romantic lives central story strains on the household’s actuality reveals, Jenner has by no means as soon as debuted a boyfriend on-camera. As a substitute, she normally sticks to speaking about her love of horses or her struggles with anxiousness. This has made producers’ lives tough, I think about: On this previous season of The Kardashians, they have been compelled to drum up curiosity in Jenner’s life by asking her about her impending child — child horse, that’s.
In 2021, Kardashians producer Farnaz Farjam defined Jenner’s reticence to share her romantic life this manner: “Kendall’s at all times had this rule — she felt like she needed to be with somebody for at the very least a yr earlier than she allow them to be part of the present, as a result of she doesn’t at all times know what folks’s intentions are. In order that’s why we sort of saved her private life out of it, simply because she had a rule.”
Maybe that rule is altering, because of Unhealthy Bunny. However Jenner has been in a position to skate by for years now, sharing a lot lower than her sisters about her relationships. Based on the tabloids, the mannequin has dated Harry Types, Nick Jonas, and some NBA stars together with Jordan Clarkson, Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, and Blake Griffin. What has Jenner stated about any of those alleged relationships? Subsequent to nothing. However in some way — maybe with some assist from her momager, Kris Jenner — the tabloids preserve discovering issues to report about these romances. Sadly, they’re largely the identical issues.
When Jenner was noticed on a yacht in St. Barts with Types in 2016, she declined to touch upon the connection. However an “insider” instructed Folks that she was having a really regular time with the pop star. “There was quite a lot of flirting, touching, and snuggling occurring,” the supply stated. “They’ve acted like a pair. They appear very cozy and comfortable.”
Later that yr, Jenner was seen out at one in every of Drake’s events with Clarkson. Once more, she made no point out of this assembly in interviews or on her household’s actuality present. However an eyewitness revealed the reality anyway. “They undoubtedly had a flirty vibe occurring and have been very intimate,” a supply instructed Folks. “Jordan was extraordinarily attentive towards her and handled her like his girlfriend.”
Within the absence of any actual data, these “sources” described the perfect approximation of human romantic conduct they might handle: It’s flirty, it’s touching, it’s girlfriend.
The next yr, Jenner was linked to Griffin, who had not too long ago ended his relationship together with his fiancée and the mom of his two kids, Brynn Cameron. Cameron sued Griffin for palimony, claiming he deserted her up to now Jenner, which, hey — that’s fascinating! However after all, Jenner by no means mentioned it publicly. As a substitute, the tabloids have been compelled to report the identical previous story about her budding new relationship.
“They’re legit. They’re a full-on couple,” one more supply instructed Us Weekly. “Kendall has been going to quite a lot of his video games and so they have been having fun with time at dwelling when Blake is on the town. They’re good.” Inform me extra!
One other eyewitness noticed Jenner and Griffin on a double date with Jenner’s sister Kylie and her then-boyfriend, Travis Scott, and dutifully reported the vibes: “Kylie and Kendall have been each actually loving and cuddly with their boyfriends. Each {couples} have been virtually at all times holding arms or had their arms round one another.”
The phrases of an actual one that really witnessed this date or these of a random sixth-grader attempting to think about what it was like? We can’t say.
Jenner’s relationships with Simmons and Booker introduced extra scintillating insights. Are you able to guess which alleged boyfriend this supply was speaking about to Folks?
“They at all times have the perfect time collectively,” the supply stated. “They’re relationship and appear comfortable for now. They’ve each had quite a lot of time to see one another.”
It’s Simmons, duh.
Now that Jenner is totally ensconced in a brand new, non-public relationship, the tabloids have revved again up their AI-powered supply machines. Jenner and Unhealthy Bunny have reportedly been relationship for six months, and through that point interval, she has not talked about him publicly as soon as. So how are we to know the intimate particulars of their relationship? A Folks supply stated all of it again in April:
“They’re very cute collectively. Kendall is comfortable. He’s a enjoyable man. Very a lot a gentleman and charming. She likes his vibe. He’s very chill.”
Wonderful. No less than now she has hugged him in public too.
