Devin Booker’s Relationship with Kendall Jenner
NBA players garner a lot of attention — they are often some of the world’s most recognizable athletes. As one of the most prolific scorers in the league today, it shouldn’t be surprising that Devin Booker once caught the Keeping Up with the Kardashian star’s eye.
In mid-2020, rumors were flying that the pair were romantically linked, but the public was left wondering about their official status until February 2021, when Devin and Kendall finally became “Instagram official.” Kendall shared adorable Valentine’s Day photos of her and Devin, putting rumors to rest once and for all: they were a couple.
In the months that followed, the two — respective schedules permitting, of course — were constantly seen by each other’s side, making frequent appearances at Hollywood hot spots and parties. They were also seen vacationing with celebrity couples like Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. Of course, when you date a Kardashian, you become intimately close with her mega-famous family — something Devin took in stride.
During a 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Kendall spoke openly about her relationship with Devin. She made audiences swoon with tender stories about his relationship with her extended, very famous family. As it turned out, Devin had the most adorable relationship with her sister Kylie Jenner’s daughter, Stormi.
“Him and Stormi have an amazing relationship,” Kendall revealed. “She has the biggest crush on him, and I’m, like, jealous sometimes.”
Unfortunately, in late 2022, the pair reportedly split after nearly two years of dating.
Interestingly enough, rumors have swelled over the past few months that the pair are working towards a reconciliation, E! Online reported in February. Judging by their social media photos, these two are downright adorable together, so if they’re all for getting back together, then so are we!
However, Devin may not have time to focus on rekindling their romance now, seeing as how the 2024 Summer Olympics are just around the corner — he was officially announced as a member of Team USA in April. By all accounts, he’s ready to show the world what he’s made of in Paris.
