Who were Kendall Jenner’s NBA boyfriends? Taking a closer look

Kendall Jenner is notoriously known for having a significant number of NBA boyfriends. With at least five that are known, here is a closer look at the players the celebrity has dated in the past.

Jenner and the Kardashian family have several claims to fame. One of these happens to be their relations with professional basketball players - specifically in the NBA.

Khloe Kardashian has been associated with Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian was briefly even married to Kris Humphries. However, Kendall Jenner has certainly been a lot more active in this department.

Chandler Parsons

The model has been linked with at least five players in the NBA. One of the first players Jenner was rumored to have dated was Chandler Parsons back in 2014. However, the player was quick to clear things up on the matter.

Jordan Clarkson

In 2015, Jenneer was very heavily linked with then-Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson. From Coachella to Hollywood nightclubs, the pair explored the Southern California scene, maintaining a discreet public image.

During his time as a Los Angeles Lakers player, Clarkson joined in the celebration of Jenner's 21st birthday in November, with Clarkson, later traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They officially acknowledged their relationship in April 2016, revealing that they had been secretly dating for months. Although they never officially confirmed a split, it is believed that they were very much together.

Blake Griffin

Kendall Jenner was romantically involved with NBA player Blake Griffin in 2017. They were reportedly dated for six months, their connection documented through public appearances and outings.

However, Jenner remained coy about the nature of their connection during a March 2018 Vogue interview, saying, "He's very nice. I have someone being very nice to me." Their brief fling ultimately fizzled out, with sources attributing the breakup to the strain of Griffin's relocation and the long distance it created.

Ben Simmons

Shortly after her split with Griffin, Kendall began seeing Ben Simmons. In the summer of 2018, they enjoyed a vacation with Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson.

Their romance eventually settled into something more serious, as confirmed by Kendall herself on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in February 2019. Their relationship seemed strong, with Kendall attending many of his games in Philadelphia before their eventual breakup in 2019.

Kyle Kuzma

Jenner and basketball player Kyle Kuzma were first linked in July, 2019, when The Daily Mail released pictures of the duo hanging on a yacht. However, Entertainment Tonight has clarified that they were not romantically involved. The Washigton Wizards star is now with model Winnie Harlow.

Devin Booker

Her most recent relationship was with Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker. Out of all her previous relationships, Kendall Jenner's connection with Devin Booker has been the most enduring.

Despite shying away from public displays of affection, Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker offered a rare peek into their relationship on Instagram in February 2021. The couple even celebrated their first anniversary in June 2021, but a brief split in June 2022 ultimately led to their final parting in November 2022.

When Kim Kardashian wore "Kendall starting five" shirt featuring sister's NBA exes

In a July 2023 episode of "The Kardashians," Kim Kardashian donned a black T-shirt featuring a playful design dedicated to her sister Kendall Jenner. The shirt, titled "Kendall Starting Five," showcased photos of five NBA players with whom Kendall Jenner has been romantically linked. This sparked amusement among fans of the show and the Kardashian family.

The design included images of Kendall Jenner's most recent former partner, Devin Booker, alongside several other individuals with whom she has been publicly linked over the years. These individuals included Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Jordan Clarkson, and Kyle Kuzma, each depicted in their NBA jerseys from the teams they played for during their respective relationships with Jenner.
