Back to the Beginning

They were photographed on what appeared to be a date in Beverly Hills. “Things are not official between Kendall and Bad Bunny, but they’re seeing each other on a regular basis and getting to know each other better,” a source said in March, Us Weekly reports. At the time the source claimed Jenner was not “really looking to date anybody” after her breakup from Devin Booker.
In August 2023, the couple attended a Drake concert. This time a source shared how their “connection has grown even stronger” Us Weekly reports. “Kendall has been getting much closer with Bad Bunny over the past several months,” the source said. “Things were more casual when they first started dating, but after a short period of time she saw long-term potential in their relationship.”
Loving Hard
GettyDespite Jenner’s incredible fame and having grown up in front of the cameras, she has also chosen to protect her relationships by not discussing them publicly. However, in August 2023, around the time of her relationship with Bad Bunny, she spoke about how she loves.
“I love really hard, and I love without apology,” she told Harper’s Bazaar ICONS issue. “I don’t like goodbyes, and I will fight to not have to say goodbye, I will always fight for relationships. I’ve been that way since I was little, although I was shy and sometimes very closed off. I don’t give up on anything. Some people aren’t willing to meet me at that level. But that’s okay. I’d rather do that than shut myself off to something and not give it a proper chance.” She chose not to mention Bad Bunny specifically.
Keeping Things Private
GettyIn an October interview with Vanity Fair in 2023, Bad Bunny told the publication why he wanted to avoid discussing his relationship. ”They don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know,” he said. “I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone.”
In December 2023, Bad Bunny and Jenner were reported to have broken up for the first time. “Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately and things slowly started to fizzle out between them,” a source said, Entertainment Tonight reports. “They both knew going into this that it likely wouldn’t be a forever type of relationship and that was mutually understood from the get-go.” Still, this was not the end of their relationship. Over New Years they were seen together with friends in Barbados.
There were reports they rekindled their relationship in May 2024, after they were seen together a Met Gala after-party. “Kendall and Bad Bunny are still in contact and spend time together when they can,” a source said, Entertainment Tonight reports. “There’s a strong connection between them whenever they’re together and they have the same chemistry that they’ve always had.”
The couple is believed to have split in September 2024. “They’re still friendly but have taken a step back and aren’t dating,” a source said, Us Weekly reports.
