15 Men (And 4 Women) Kendall Jenner Has Been Linked To Over The Years
Kendall Jenner chooses to live her life in the public eye, so, unsurprisingly there is a lot of media attention about who she spends her time with, especially if there is any possibility she could be romantically linked to that person. Over the years there have been many people who Jenner has been rumored to have dated, but unlike her famous sisters, she's reluctant to confirm or deny her relationships, and she's super secretive about the men (and women) who she cozies up to.
Instead of discussing her romances, she tries her best to remain tight-lipped and ensure they fly under the radar, but that doesn't always work out for her (Kends, we're talking about your very public romance with Harry Styles here). She recently told Vogue, “I like my private life,” so she is happy, although whether that means she's actually romancing Blake Griffin now, like the world wants us to believe, remains unclear.
Then there is also the interest on whether or not she likes women, and some of her famous BFFs have been thought to be more than just friends. Below are some of the men and women that Kendall Jenner has been linked to over the years!
19 Kendall Bagged One Direction Member Harry Styles In His Prime
Kendall Jenner is pretty tight-lipped when it comes to her romances but she couldn't hide her affections for One Direction star Harry Styles, which is not surprising because, given the star power of these two, their relationship was bound to attract a lot of attention. And I mean a lot, because they were even given the celebrity nickname “Hendall.”
The pair were first linked towards the end of 2013, and are rumored to have been together for just three months before splitting in 2014. But Styles and Jenner never did quit each other and up until 2016, there were rumors that they were hooking up. Reports insist that these two never got serious, but they certainly did enjoy each other's company and were seen packing on the PDA on multiple occasions, including a vacation on a luxury yacht.
18 She's Definitely More Than Just An A$AP Rocky Fan
In keeping with her love for musicians (in the Kardashian-Jenner household it seems that it's only musicians or professional athletes that attract their attention), Kendall Jenner has been linked to A$AP Rocky. The pair were first linked in July of 2016, and according to reports, they were together for about a year before calling time on their romance in August of 2017.
Although we don't know just how serious these two were, they were definitely a couple at one point and were often spotted in public together. Around the time of their breakup, a source shed light on their romance to Us Weekly, saying, “Kendall and A$AP weren't seeing each other a lot. They weren't really official but were obviously dating. Their schedules are really hard.”
17 Blake Griffin Is The Latest Man To Steal Kendall's Heart, Apparently
Blake Griffin is the most recent man that Kendall Jenner has been linked to, although there are a lot of rumors about just how serious their romance is. According to reports, the model started dating the Los Angeles Clippers player in the summer of 2017, and if reports are accurate then they are still together now (although their romance may soon fizzle out after his Griffin's ex has dragged Jenner into a palimony lawsuit).
Griffin and Jenner were first spotted together at a Kendrick Lamar concert at the Staples Center, then later at a Travis Scott after party, and a few weeks later appeared to be enjoying a double date with Chandler Parsons and Hailey Baldwin. After these meetings, the dating rumors really took off, and a source told People magazine, “She's seeing Blake romantically. It's nothing serious. She has been in L.A. a lot lately, and is having fun.”
16 Chris Brown May Be More Than Good Friends With The Fam
Chris Brown has a good relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner clan and there have been multiple occasions when they have been seen hanging out with the musician, who is also very good friends with Kylie Jenner's ex-boyfriend, Tyga. But, if reports are to be believed, then there was more than just friendship between Brown and Kendall Jenner and the pair have been linked romantically twice; first in 2014, after he split with Karrueche Tran, and then later in 2016, when she was rumored to be hanging out with both Brown and Harry Styles.
In 2016, a source told Heat magazine, “It's kind of complicated with both guys.“Kendall finds it hard to trust either of them. Both of them seem pretty keen on her, though.” Could one person's dating life get more complicated than this?!
15 Jordan Clarkson Is Her Type (And Everyone Else's Type, Too)
In July of 2016, Los Angeles Laker Jordan Clarkson was linked to Kendall Jenner, and you'll notice that he's the second basketball player on this list which means she definitely has a type -- just like her older sister, Khloe Kardashian.
The pair reportedly spent Fourth of July together and according to an E! News source, at the time the pair were "casually dating” and apparently their relationship was "not anything very serious.” Fast forward a few months and they were rumored to be still together, but this time they were reportedly seen making out on New Year's Eve at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles.
Nothing more really happened after this kiss, but Clarkson's relationships are still making headlines because he was recently rumored to be dating Jenner's BFF Bella Hadid.
14 The World Was Desperate For A Kendall And Ashton Irwin Romance
For some reason, fans were desperate for Kendall Jenner and Five Seconds of Summer musician Ashton Irwin to be a couple, so when they were spotted hanging out a number of times (including getting into a cab together) in the summer of 2014, there was a great amount of excitement. This was around the time she reportedly first split from Harry Styles, and Irwin's band was supporting One Direction on tour at the time, so this coupling raised a few eyebrows.
The pattern with most of Jenner's romances is that they are on-and-off and no one ever really has confirmation, except on this occasion it seemed Irwin decided to clear up the rumors. He told The Sun there was nothing romantic going on between himself and Jenner, and added, "I met her in New York with our team, and we just hung out and had a drink. We were walking down the road -- there was a whole group of us."
13 Young Jinsu Was A "Maybe" Boyfriend
Kendall Jenner split with her high school beau Julian Brooks in 2013, and it wasn't long before she was linked to rapper, Young Jinsu. According to reports, the pair were first linked in 2013, and at the time a source told People magazine, “They're dating - it's been at least a few months. They've been getting closer recently, and they've been hanging out all the time.”
Jenner was just 17 at the time, and Jinsu was 21, so the publication claimed that they were waiting for Jenner's 18th birthday before going public with their romance (sounds like Kylie Jenner and Tyga, doesn't it?).
Despite the relationship rumors, Jenner insisted that there was no truth to them and took to Twitter to rubbish the claims that she and Young Jinsu were dating by claiming she was “single, people.”
12 Lewis Hamilton Even Let Her Wear His Chain
Is this photo evidence of a romance? Probably not, but that hasn't stopped the reports. In May of 2015, there were rumors that Lewis Hamilton and Kendall Jenner had hooked up, after photos of the Formula One driver and Jenner, along with her model friends, were taken at the Grand Prix in Monaco. Jenner was reportedly also wearing Hamilton's gold chain, and for some reason, this is concrete proof of a relationship.
Then there was also the report that Kris Jenner was allegedly desperate for her daughter to date Hamilton. A source told The Sun, “She really wants Kendall to date him. Lewis and Kris have become friendly in recent months and she thinks he's perfect for her daughter. Kendall usually goes for bad boys like Chris Brown and Justin Bieber so Lewis could be a good influence on her.” Well, sorry Kris, because there was nothing romantic to this relationship.
Hamilton addressed the rumors and told E! News, "Me and Kendall have been friends for a while, so we're just friends."
11 Orlando Bloom Didn't Really Find Comfort In Kendall Following His Divorce
Robert Downey Jr. is really responsible for the love rumors between Kendall Jenner and Orlando Bloom because when he presented the actor with an award for his work with UNICEF, he is reported to have said that Bloom finds time for charity work “when he's not swinging at Justin Bieber or dating Kendall Jenner.” He should have known better because after these comments everyone wanted Bloom and Jenner to be a thing.
Bloom wasn't dating Jenner, and he was quick to clear that up when he stepped onto the stage at the Britannia Humanitarian Award at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in October of 2015. He used this opportunity to clear up a few rumors and admitted that he had never met Jenner, adding, “but if anyone has her number I would love it.”
10 Julian Brooks Was Her High School Love
Julian Brooks was the first man that Kendall Jenner officially dated, at least according to reports, because he was her high-school boyfriend. Brooks is two years older than Jenner, and rumor has it that the pair started dating in 2012, but ended up breaking up in 2013, around the time that Jenner's career really took off -- and we all know that dating someone who lives their life in the limelight can be hard.
Although, not everyone thinks the breakup was because of fame and The Star (via Hollywood Life) reports that Jenner actually dumped Brooks because he was allegedly cheating on her while away at the University of Nevada. A source told the publication there were rumors about Brook's infidelity and Jenner “couldn't live with the doubt.”
9 Did Ryan Nassif Make Kendall Jenner's Heart Flutter?
There's very little known about Kendall Jenner's romance with Ryan Nassif and perhaps that's because there was nothing too interesting about it. When you think of Nassif you are more likely to think of his relationship with actress Bella Thorne. However, long before Thorne and Nassif were an item in 2015, he was briefly linked to Jenner in May of 2012.
Jenner was only sixteen at the time of the alleged romance, so there was really nothing serious happening between these two, and according to Who's Dated Who, they went on a couple of dates. There's no word on what went wrong, but we presume things just fizzled out, as they usually do when you're a teenager and just having fun without thinking about long-term boyfriends or life partners.
8 Selena Gomez Will Hate Kendall For The Justin Bieber Romance Rumors
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are one of the most annoying couples in Hollywood, but when the singer is on a break from his on-and-off-again lover, he's been linked to a number of women. One of those women has reportedly been Kendall Jenner, who Biebs was rumored to have hooked up with at the end of 2014, and the beginning of 2015.
There's no denying that these two are friends, and Biebs even publicly supported Jenner when she landed the cover of Vogue in 2016, but there is some confusion about whether they're friendship ever turned romantic. And if it did, then this is one of strangest pairings because Bieber has also been linked to other members of the Kardashian-Jenner household. He's allegedly hooked up with Kylie Jenner in 2014, and Kourtney Kardashian in 2015. Needless to say, if all of these reports are true then it would be a little awkward if he'd been with half the family.
7 Apparently, She Had A Brief Flirtation With Chandler Parsons
Chandler Parsons -- yes, he's another basketball player -- and Kendall Jenner are rumored to have hooked up in July of 2014. According to The Mirror, Jenner even brought Parsons home to meet her mom, Kris Jenner. An insider told the publication, “Mama Kris met Chandler a few weeks ago and was blown away by not only his good looks but his promising B-ball future.”
The momager's hopes must have been squashed when the relationship didn't last.
Parsons has been linked to a string of beautiful women over the years, including Jenner's BFF, Hailey Baldwin. In June of 2017, it was rumored that these two were romantically linked (Baldwin reportedly denied these reports), and around the same time, there were also rumors that Jenner was flirting with Parsons at a Bentley dealership. Concrete evidence of a romance? Definitely not!
6 Alfredo Flores Is Someone Kendall And Biebs May Have In Common
It's more likely that Kendall Jenner and photographer Alfredo Flores (who is also best friends with Justin Bieber) are just friends, but when she hangs out with anyone the dating rumors start, and these two were linked in February of 2015.
According to a report from HollywoodLife, Jenner and Flores had been friends for a long time, but this apparently changed when the photographer set up a “romantic dinner” for her. And this was not the only publication that reported on the romance because a source allegedly told Heat magazine that he had even met her family. They said, “Kendall and Alf have always been good friends, so while they only started dating recently, meeting the family was no big deal - Kanye even wants to work on some projects with him.”
Whatever happened between these two, it was short-lived.
5 Did Kendall Jenner Rub Shoulders With A Jonas Brother?
Nick Jonas and Kendall Jenner were rumored to have gone on a couple of dates in August of 2015. According to Hollywood Life, back when Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas were dating they tried to set up Hadid's bestie with Jonas' brother, Nick Jonas -- because they wanted to double date, obviously. But despite the couples' best efforts, Nick and Kendall just didn't have a spark and there was no romantic connection.
Jonas also commented on the rumors, telling E! News he and Jenner have hung out, but there's not much more to it than that. He said, "Kendall is great and naturally with her being good friends with Gigi [Hadid] and with Joe [Jonas] and Gigi dating, there are times we'll be in the same place and we all hang out."
4 Cara Delevingne And Kendall Have Sparked Romance Rumors
Kendall Jenner is one of those celebs who has faced many rumors about her sexuality, and fans have questioned whether she may be bisexual. One of the reasons for this is perhaps her closeness to Cara Delevingne, who she is actually rumored to have dated.
It's no secret that these two are close, but some believe that it was much more than friendship between these two and that they dated briefly in 2014, and this rumor happened not long after their Love magazine cover. Then, according to Hollywood Gossip, the pair were spotted in Bar None in New York City and they apparently looked as though they were very much an item.
An eyewitness is reported to have said, "They came into the bar around closing time with bodyguards and did not drink. I couldn't take my eyes off of them because they were practically sitting on top of each other." They added, "Cara had her hand on Kendall's thigh almost the entire time. They looked to be very much a couple."
3 Lauren Perez And Kendall Jenner Are Awfully Friendly
According to Star magazine (Via Hollywood Gossip), Kendall Jenner is gay, and a source has previously told the publication that “boys just never caught her interest.”
The publication continued, “Growing up, Kendall was different from her sisters. She was more into the stuff her brothers did - motorcycles, ATVs and outdoor sports. She was a total tomboy. How do you think she got the nickname Kenny?” A report from Star magazine definitely doesn't make a convincing argument about Jenner's love life, but over the years there have been rumors that she and Lauren Perez have been a couple.
Fans have shared their theories on social media, and there are social media pages including a Tumblr age, and a Twitter account dedicated to her being gay -- the latter has commented on how Jenner and her “girlfriend” Perez are “so cute.”
2 The Closeness With Bella Hadid Has Raised Questions
Kendall Jenner has a lot of really close friends, and Bella Hadid is one of them. These two are always together and often feature on each other's Instagram accounts, but their friendship has also been the topic of much discussion because some believe they are a couple, especially after they attended LGBTQ+ annual Pride parade in London in 2017.
This rumor allegedly first started when celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin posted a photo of Jenner and Hadid at Pride along with the caption, “Some people are gay. Get over it.” According to Be Yahoo, this immediately got fans questioning whether Hadid and Jenner were an item, and how amazing that was.
Then a report from Star magazine (via Gossip Gop) also wrote a piece about their alleged romance with the headline, “Kendall and Bella: Undercover Lovers?” A piece which Gossip Cop claims is completely fabricated.
1 Hailey Baldwin And Kends Do Everything Together
This is the least likely romance of all of the people that Kendall Jenner has been linked too, but her friendship with model Hailey Baldwin has convinced some fans that what they share is more than friendship and there are a few comments on Twitter about them being a couple.
These two do everything together and have been spotted grocery shopping, getting matching tattoos, going out on double dates with men (and they are rumored to have dated a few of the same men), and partying together. And sometimes when they party they get quite affectionate. There was a night in Cannes when the pair were having fun at VIP Room nightclub and Jenner was photographed kissing her friend's ear (or at least it looked that way), and then there was this photo of the pair fake kissing at the Met Gala in 2015.
