Kendall Jenner’s new boyfriend is Ben Simmons, who possibly cheated on Tinashe

Kendall Jenner heads out from her hotel in NYC

At this point, I actually don’t believe the gossip/conspiracy theory that Kendall Jenner is a lesbian and that all of her “boyfriends” are just beards. I think if Kendall was gay, she would just be gay and be out about it. It’s 2018 and she lives in California, and she’s friends with Cara Delevingne. She could still have a huge career if she came out, and she would have complete support of her family and friends. It’s just far more likely to me that Kendall is a heterosexual tomboy who doesn’t want to follow the same TMI-heavy path as her sisters when she’s in a relationship. At some point, she was maybe-probably dating A$AP Rocky, I think. And Blake Griffin was definitely her boyfriend for a short time. Apparently, her new boyfriend is 76er Ben Simmons:

Kendall Jenner is dating Philadelphia 76er Ben Simmons, multiple sources tell Page Six exclusively. An insider familiar with the duo said the romance has been going on “for a few weeks.” Another source told us the pair was spotted this week on a lunch date at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And a third source said that Jenner, 22, and Simmons, 21, were seen last week in Manhattan with a group of friends at the clubby Bowery restaurant Vandal.

“Security measures seemed to have been taken to ensure Kendall and Ben enjoyed their night hassle free,” said a witness. “They were smiling the night away with their friends.”

This story was so boring to me that I didn’t even write about it or mention it when it came out a few days ago. Unless Kendall starts dating ladies, I tend to believe most people don’t care about her short-term boyfriends. So why write about it now? Because there’s a shady element to it! Apparently, Ben Simmons was dating Tinashe and there might have been some overlap between his thing with Tinashe and his thing with Kendall. And now Tinashe’s brother is getting involved.

After Page Six exclusively revealed that 76ers star Ben Simmons is dating Kendall Jenner — the 6-foot-10 Rookie of the Year candidate is being accused of striking up the romance with the supermodel before he broke up with his ex, singer Tinashe. A source told Page Six that Simmons has been seeing Jenner “for a few weeks.” They were spotted together in New York last week and in LA on Tuesday. But after our report, Tinashe’s teen brother, Kudzai Kachingwe, went ballistic on Simmons on Twitter, alleging that the NBA star only broke up with Tinashe on Sunday, and that he was “cheating” on her.

“Never met you before in my life. Days after u break my sis heart u do this,” Kachingwe posted. He added: “no f - - king excuse for cheating, be a man and figure it out.”

Then again, some reports have had another timeline — MTO News said on May 25 that Simmons and Tinashe parted ways because Tinashe was “doing Kardashian s - - t.” A source told the site of Tinashe, “She is way too public with everything. They just started dating and this girl is calling up paparazzi.”

Either way, Kachingwe also addressed the Kardashian comparison on Twitter on Wednesday, posting: “people all lied on her talking fake news about my sis doing kardashian s - - t u cheat on her w a Jenner.”

Granted, I don’t follow the comings and goings of Tinashe, just as I don’t follow the comings and goings of Ben Simmons (or any 76er, honestly), but it’s funny that Tinashe is accused of doing “Kardashian sh-t” and exploiting the relationship when it feels like almost no one knew they were even happening in the first place? When the Ben-Kendall story came out a few days ago, most people shrugged and were like “okay, so Kendall’s got a new piece.” It just didn’t feel like anyone had the gossip about Ben and Tinashe in the first place. Anyway, this has all been an attempt to make Kendall’s romantic life more interesting. Did it work?

Here are some pics of Kendall & Ben leaving The Nice Guy in LA last night:

    The Sixers are doomed!

    • Jenns says:

      With all of the Bryan Colangelo Twitter scandal, this is the least of their problems right now. I’m sure they’d rather have this as their headline.

      • Enn says:

        The Colangelo story is getting more attention but people are also taking notice of this pairing. Overall the Sixers are a mess at the moment.

  2. Nancy says:

    She also was dating Jordan Clarkson, who was a Laker and is now with the Cavs. These Kardashian/Jenner babes sure do like their athletes. She’s catching up to Khloe. Poor, sad Khloe….lol

  3. Swack says:

    Do they all have horrible pickets when it comes to choosing men?

  4. Sam says:

    Those jeans are just awful, I’m sure they’re very expensive, but it just looks like she found some ill fitting thrift shop jeans. Is that the look that’s in right now?

    • LizLemonGotMarried (aka The Hufflepuff Liz Lemon) says:

      Apparently, looking like you’re wearing depends under your jeans is in? (No disrespect to all my ladies with bladder issues.) It also kind of looks like those cutoffs with the pockets hanging out that all the kids are wearing grew legs.
      I’m about 6 months from yelling “get off my lawn.” Someone actually did that on the HOA page the other day and I’m still laughing. 😂

      • Kitten says:

        I hate this crappy-ass nineties fashion that is happening right now. The f*cking boxy t shirts and the high-wasted, tapered Friends-era jeans. Man, it is sooooo bad.

        Just last night I saw three young ladies wearing high-waisted mom shorts with those boxy-ass cropped t shirts and I’m sorry I don’t care if it’s “in fashion”–they looked like hell. That silhouette is basically designed to make every woman look frumpy AF.

        So yes, get off my lawn and stop playing in my driveway.

    ASAP Rocky?? OH PLEASE let this have happened during the ‘No Limit’ remix. Juicy J got Rob HARD.

    “I’ll break a bitch like Chyna did Rob” 😂😂😂

    Rocky was on the original and remix so I’m sure that line made the sisters stop and go ‘oh’ 😶

    Oh please let that part be true 🤣🤣

  6. Umyeah says:

    She seems to have a thing for basketball players that are alrrady taken

    • Nancy says:

      Hmm, who does that sound like? Which sister wanted Tristan Thompson who was with his girlfriend of four years and she was pregnant? Oh yeah, KHLOE! How did that work out for you Kloe? It’s not a True or False question, lol!

  7. PoodleMama says:

    Kendall is a downgrade from tinashe. Not talented and seems incredibly boring.

    • Otaku fairy says:

      Agreed, and even though Kendall is normal-pretty, Tinashe is beautiful.

  8. Mo' Comments Mo' Problems says:

    Yes, it was quite known in The Shade Room and Bossip community, as well on Instagram where Tinashe would post stuff of her and Ben. All these players be dating the same type of women over and over…and all these women be dating the same types of players from the same team…smh. P.S. Kaiser, love that you’re covering ratchet news too!

  9. Kimma1216 says:

    These girls really like their basketball players…lol

  10. Fleur says:

    I’m a Sixers girl, and Ben Simmons is super sexy and seems like a nice guy. So I say get it, Kenny, get it.

  11. Lex says:

    Questions of her sexuality aside, Kendall seems even more asexual to me than TSwift. As much as I hate assigning these labels to women (as if calling them unsexual is the biggest insult as women are supposed to be this and that blah blah blah), I just don’t buy all these alleged relationships she has. She just seems completely disinterested, like an amoeba.

    As a fellow amoeba, I just wish she could be left alone to BE alone if she wishes! That’s what I want right now yet people are always trying to figure me out and are asking if I am seeing anyone. Nope, no thanks!

  12. Ash says:

    Just agreeing with the amoeba comment! Why does she have to prove anything!
