Rumor had it that Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin were a couple in the last few years. Neither of them confirmed their romance, but their actions said a lot about what was going on between them. In any case, Kendall has always been the most secretive about her love life, so chances are low that she’d confirm the rumors even if they were true. Here’s what you need to know about the circulating gossip.
Kendall Jenner is one of the most successful and talented runway models of the 21st century. Part of her rise to fame is attributable to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Jenner appeared alongside the Kardashian sisters which helped her learn about the industry that she would eventually dominate. In the summer of 2017, Kendall was linked to Blake Griffin, a professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets. Alas, the iconic model has always been secretive about her love life. “I like my private life,” she told Vogue in 2018. A relationship between Kendall and Blake was never confirmed, but that might be because things were never serious. Here’s what we know.
As reported by People, Kendall Jenner was first spotted with Blake leaving a Travis Scott concert in August 2017. They were accompanied by Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Chandelier Parsons, and Hailey Baldwin, whose last name is now Bieber. A few weeks later, Jenner and Griffin were spotted on a double date alongside Parsons and Bieber. They were spotted together numerous times and a source close to Kendall stated, “She’s seeing Blake romantically. It’s nothing serious. She has been in L.A. a lot lately and is having fun.” Because Jenner lives a hectic life, particularly due to her international modeling career, she didn’t commit to Griffin at the time. In fact, she kept her option open by also dating rapper A$AP Rocky. An insider stated, “She’s still talking to Rocky as well. But he isn’t the type to settle down or be a good boyfriend, so she’s playing the field too.” Curiously, A$AP Rocky is now allegedly dating Rihanna.
For the rest of 2017 and most of 2018, Kendall and Blake had been spotted getting close and lovey-dovey. Kendall even told Vogue in 2018, “I’m happy. He’s very nice. I have someone being very nice to me.” However, things took a turn during the winter of 2018. “Blake and Kendall have been cooling off recently, but they’re not officially broken up,” a source said at the time. At one point, Griffin jabbed, “On behalf of the entire NBA and half the rappers on the Billboard charts, I want to thank you for giving your daughters their daddy issues,” referring to Caitlyn Jenner, but also all of the Kardashian-Jenner women, specifically Kendall. Many believe that this was a jealousy-driven stab at A$AP Rocky following his “cooling off” with Jenner.
Out of all the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, Kendall Jenner is the quietest and most reserved. She has a pattern of keeping her dating life low-key. Even though the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star never confirmed her relationship with Blake, actions speak louder than words. And in this case, their actions showed that they were basically a couple, even if no one confirmed it. Sources say that Kendall isn’t looking for anything serious because of her career, but she’ll always be friends with Griffin. Is there a chance that they might rekindle the flame?
