The Kardashians star Kendall Jenner's latest Instagram story is fueling rumors she reconciled with ex-boyfriend Devin Booker. Kendall and Devin reportedly broke up in June after about two years of dating. But recently, the two supposed exes have been spotted hanging out together on multiple occasions.
Kendall, perhaps the most private of the KarJenner sisters, rarely spoke about Devin when they were dating. Only a month after attending Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding, sources claimed the two called it quits because they were both too busy with their respective careers. Shortly after the split was reported, the supermodel posted a nude picture on Instagram. Fans quickly noticed Devin liked it, only for him to take that back later. However, only days after the story broke, the 20-somethings were spotted in Malibu. Now, Kendall's social media activity is adding to the speculation they aren't broken up after all.
On Thursday, July 7, Kendall posted a picture of Devin's NBA 2K23 video game cover to her Instagram story. This latest social media activity came days after Kendall and Devin spent July 4th together. The 818 Tequila owner shared the picture from Devin's own Instagram page, where the athlete captioned the cover with a celebratory "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Kendall let the photo speak for itself, not adding any writing or emojis. While multiple celebs commented on Devin's post, his former girlfriend did not appear to be amongst them. Notably, the two still follow each other on the social media platform. In fact, they never unfollowed each other, not even when their supposed breakup was announced. However, the basketball star's brother did apparently unfollow the model around that time.
While the social media support seems telling, it could also be part of a PR ploy. After the Malibu hangout went viral, sources claimed Kendall and Devin staged the post-split photos. According to the alleged insiders, the Hulu star's team didn't want her to look bad. Apparently, the photographed get-together was meant to avoid a narrative that she had been dumped. These sources also claimed that Kendall's team set it all up, but Devin's agreed to go along with it. However, there haven't been any reports of whether or not the subsequent hangouts were also just for show.
If the support for Devin is all an act, it wouldn't be the first time the KarJenner family used social media to set a narrative. The celebrity sisters have constantly been called out for manipulating their posts, especially through the use of photoshop. The famous family also uses reality tv to influence public opinion. Devin did not appear on the Hulu docuseries' first season. And Kendall, who criticized the Roe v. Wade reversal, barely mentioned him. Whether or not they are truly broken up, fans will have to wait and see if the relationship gets more air time in season 2.
The Kardashians season 2 is currently in production.
