LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jokes about Kendall Jenner's love life were the center of attention at the 2023 ESPY Awards in Hollywood on Wednesday, July 12. While speaking on stage, sports expert Pat McAfee made fun of the 27-year-old supermodel's obvious fondness for NBA players, noting that she has dated five of them over the years.
The daughter of Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner ended her relationship with Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker last year after being connected to Jordan Clarkson, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, and Kyle Kuzma in the past. "Kendall Jenner's Starting Five would win the NBA championship every single year," he joked. The crowd started laughing right away at the joke, and McAfee continued, "You know it, you know it…if they're in the bubble your a** is getting smoked."
In a departure from her "type," Jenner has recently been romantically associated with Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny. Jordan Clarkson, a former Los Angeles Lakers player, and Jenner were romantically linked in 2016 but broke up later that year. The founder of 818 Tequila started dating Boston Celtics player Blake Griffin in 2017. However, the two broke up in April 2018 after over a year of dating, as per Daily Mail. The supermodel and Ben Simmons then had an on-and-off relationship that lasted from 2018 to 2019. After the breakup later that same year, Kyle Kuzma, who is currently with the Washington Wizards, was briefly linked to Kendall. The reality personality and Devin Booker, a current player for the Phoenix Suns, began dating in 2020 and remained together until their formal breakup in November of the previous year.
