Kendall Jenner Admits Dating NBA Players Amid Kyle Kuzma Romance Rumors

Following her controversial split with Ben Simmons, Kendall Jenner was surrounded with rumors that she was dating NBA star Kyle Kuzma. On Tuesday, the 23- year-old cleared the air about the number of NBA athletes she romanced after a Twitter meme surfaced saying there were five.

"Starting five of NBA Players Kendall Jenner Dated," the meme read above photos of D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Simmons, Kuzma and Blake Griffin.

"2 out of 5 accurate, thanks," Jenner wrote in response to the meme. It, however, remains unclear which two of the five men she was referring to.

"I don’t want to let the world have their opinion on something and let them fully into something if I don’t even know what’s gonna end up happening in the next couple months, because it’s something I’m going to have to explain," Jenner, who is very private about her love life, said on Apple Music’s ZAZA WORLD RADIO earlier this year. "The amount of times I see people together for a couple months and they’re together so hard core and they show it and they flex it everywhere and a couple months later they break up or something happens. They have to explain themselves to everyone. I don’t want to do all of that unless I’m completely certain in a relationship or it’s been a while."

"I’m in relationships for myself, for me and that other person, not for anybody else, so I don’t find the need to be flexing it like that,” she added.

Over the last few days, rumors surfaced that Jenner was dating Kuzma after her alleged split with Simmons. Jenner and Kuzma were spotted over the Fourth of July holiday on a yacht in Malibu, California. However, according to a source, the pair seem to be nothing more than friends, TMZ reported. Jenner and the Lakers basketball player were with several friends aboard the yacht.

Jenner broke up with Philadelphia 76ers basketball player Simmons in May following an on-again, off-again relationship that started in March of last year.

Back in 2015, Jenner was linked to Russell, who currently plays for the Golden State Warriors. However, sources told TMZ that the pair was not dating. In 2016, the supermodel was linked to Clarkson of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The following year, rumors surfaced that Jenner was in a relationship with Griffin, a Detroit Pistons player. At the time, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the pair was in the early stages of dating.

"She is very much his type, physically. It's surprising that Kendall is being so public about this," the source said at the time. "She's usually extremely private about who she's dating, but she seems really into Blake and she's actually happy, so it's making her relax a bit."

"I highly doubt this is something that will last; it's just a fun fling. It's not like Kendall is going to step into a stepmother role," the source added, referencing Griffin's two children. "That's definitely not what she's looking for."
