Devin Booker Refuses to Speak Highly of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance Amid Kendall Jenner History
The shooting guard Devin Booker of Phoenix Suns is all about basketball – that’s why, even when people are talking about big pop culture moments, he will stay in the sport. One time during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show that featured Bad Bunny as the main star, the guard admitted that he was not paying attention to the show.
After the 2026 NBA All-Star Game that was held on February 15, Booker was responding to questions from the media, “Sorry, I was completely honest that I didn’t see it.”
The statement got the social media hype in no time. Some fans even pointed out that both the guys share the same romantic link to the same person. Since both Booker and Bad Bunny have been in relationships with Kendall Jenner, the fans figured that their “beef” coming from that situation is the main lead behind the NBA star’s skipping the show.
Devin Booker and Bad Bunny’s Shared History with Kendall Jenner Spark Speculation
Devin Booker and Kendall Jenner were going back and forth in their relationship from 2020 till 2022. The boyfriend of Kendall Jenner from 2023 to 2024 was Bad Bunny whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio.
When Bad Bunny was in a relationship with Kendall, fans assumed that the rapper, in his 2023 song “Coco Chanel”, might have been referring to Devin Booker in a very indirect way. The artist rapped that “the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix” and “she knows it.” However, Kendall and Devin, who were allegedly in a spat, have been spotted together on several occasions since then. Also, remember their Valentine’s ski trip to Aspen, Colorado, last year.
Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker’s Playful Social Media Banter Excites Fans
Back in the beginning of the year, Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker got into a flirty exchange on Instagram which made their fans go crazy. The 818 Tequila maker shared a Super Bowl commercial for Fanatics and also showed that she was betting on New England Patriots to win against Seattle Seahawks.
Devin, in a funny manner, reacted to her January 29 post with a blushing emoji by saying, “I bet million that the Seahawks will get the ring before you do.” Kendall with a fun sarcastic tone pointed out Devin’s recent injury by replying, “How’s the ankle?”
Devin gave a very hot reply, “Come rub it,” and thus they left their fans very excited about their chemistry.

Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles: A Friendship Spanning 10 Years and Romance Speculations
Kendall Jenner quashed the rumors in November 2013 about her alleged relationship with Harry Styles after they were spotted having dinner in West Hollywood. “We’re friends, there’s no story,” she said to E!’s Giuliana Rancic. “He’s a nice guy.”
The two have been sighted so often in New York and London that Kendall Jenner’s half-brother, Brody Jenner, felt compelled to make a statement about the couple. “I bet she’s enjoying herself with him,” he said to the New York Daily News back in December. “She’s very level-headed… But they are both so young.”
Back then, the couple who were 18 and 20 years old respectively, kept on making news with their various get-togethers. For example, they were seen very touchy-feely on a yacht trip in 2016, as well as at other events in 2018 and 2020. When Harry separated from Olivia Wilde in 2022, the old story about Kendall and Harry came up again. However, a source informed E! News, “Kendall and Harry are just friends. Even though they have always been friendly and occasionally get in touch.”
Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber: Friends, Not a Couple
Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber have never been romantically involved, despite the fact that people frequently speculated about it because they were seen together often. In a 2014 interview on Nightline, Kendall really put all the talk to rest by saying, “He’s actually a very good friend of our family for a long time. I guess it’s just natural that everybody loves to assume things, but no.”
Also Kendall is good friends with Hailey Bieber and is sometimes spotted having double dates with the couple or just hanging out which shows how close-knit the friendship of the three is.
Nick Jonas and Kendall Jenner: Rumors vs Reality
Back in August 2015, speculation was doing the rounds that Nick Jonas was dating Kendall Jenner after his brother Joe Jonas and Joe’s then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid had set up the meeting.
On the other hand, Nick spoke to E! News to clear the air, saying, “Kendall is awesome, and obviously with her being really good friends with Gigi and Joe and Gigi being a couple, there are times when we end up being at the same place and we all hang out.” He said that they were not a couple, but he was saying that they belonged to the same social circle.
Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Jenner: Just a Casual Thing
During the summer of 2016, particularly around the Fourth of July weekend, gossip arose about a love affair between Kendall Jenner and Jordan Clarkson, who was at the time a player for the Los Angeles Lakers. One month after those initial reports, the pair were still being seen together and Jordan was among the guests at Kendall’s wildly fascinating 21st birthday celebration.
Their regular dating-like appearances had their relationship staying casual, and the two had never been publicly confirmed as a couple.
Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky: A Fun and Fashionable Friendship
Back in 2016 and 2017, fans often saw Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky having dinners, and partying together in Miami and New York. Besides that, they were also spotted at Coachella and shared a close moment for Kylie Jenner’s famous Met Gala selfie.
They obviously liked spending time together but their bond seemed like a good fun friendship as A$AP Rocky got together with Rihanna later on.

Blake Griffin and Kendall Jenner: Briefly Dating
Back in August 2017, Kendall Jenner was spotted often hanging out with L.A. Clippers basketball player Blake Griffin. She was also seen at his games on several occasions sitting right next to the court.
The thing is, it was just a super casual, really fun fling kind of deal between them rather than a serious relationship. The moment when Blake got traded from the Clippers to the Pistons in Detroit in 2018 marked the end of whatever they had.

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons: A Short Romance in the Midst of Packed Schedules
Kendall Jenner and NBA star Ben Simmons kicked off their romance in the spring of 2018. They made it work seeing each other as much as possible even though Simmons was living in Philadelphia (he would change to the Clippers in 2025). At a 2019 Vogue Australia shoot, Kendall was spotted watching a 76ers game on her phone and FaceTiming Simmons to flaunt his GQ Australia cover.
Kendall told Vogue Australia that she sees a big love for privacy in relationships, “Once you put it out there, everything just gets so much messier,” and she also noted the uncertainty of young love, “Nobody really knows what they’re doing, it’s pretty normal to not know.”
There were only rumors about the couple being together again, but the truth was that they were already over for some time. This came out around the time of the Met Gala. Kendall brought up the time commitment as a tough thing in their relationship. She said, “Everybody has their own journey and the way they let things unfold. Your 20s are about messing up and figuring it out.”
Looking back, it seemed like fans had identified a trend they were making fun of called the “Starting 5 of NBA Players Kendall Jenner Dated.” They included Jordan Clarkson, Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Kyle Kuzma, and D’Angelo Russell in the list. Kendall replied with a smile, “2 out of 5 correct, thank you.”
Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker experienced many ups and downs in their relationship
Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns shooting guard, started dating in 2020 and the relationship lasted almost two years. The lovers even went to Italy for sister Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding in May 2022.
Then, by June, sources revealed that after coming back from their trip, the couple found that they were no longer in sync because they had different lifestyles. They seemed to have a short-lived romance in July but in the end, they parted ways again in November by citing incompatible schedules.
Even if there were many ups and downs, the duo were seen together on Valentine’s Day weekend 2025 at a restaurant in Aspen, which shows that their twenties phase is a time for exploration and self-discovery. To illustrate, Devin took the place of D’Angelo Russell in the “Kendall’s Starting Five” of NBA players she’s dated, a meme that was popularized by Kim Kardashian.
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny: Little Love Story but Big Friendship
Bad Bunny walked into Kendall Jenner’s world in 2023, their first outing being seen together in February on a double date with Justin and Hailey Bieber. Kendall caught up with Bad Bunny at his Coachella show in April, and the duo were photographed at a Met Gala afterparty and also wearing matching outfits at a Lakers game the following month.
Kendall and Bad Bunny’s love story can be narrated in their shared experiences of date nights and even joining hands at the Gucci show during Milan Fashion Week in September. The twist was, by the end of 2023, they had gone their separate ways.
Kendall and Bad Bunny, who are no longer lovers, have decided to be friends. They were even seen hanging out in various parts of the world together through the networks of their mutual friends. In February 2025, Bad Bunny was seen in the front row at Kendall’s Calvin Klein Collection Autumn/Winter show during New York Fashion Week, their support for each other still intact.
