Kendall Jenner and NBA player Devin Booker have called it quits on their two-year romance. According to E!News, the pair had “reached a tough patch,” and Kendall Jenner had requested “privacy and time apart” from Devin Booker. This, however, may not be a permanent separation, and they may reconcile in the future, but for the time being, they remain separated.
The pair just attended Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Baker’s wedding festivities in Italy, so the divorce comes as a surprise. Kendall Jenner, who prefers to keep her personal life private, has been connected to Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker since 2020. On Valentine’s Day 2021, the pair verified the rumors by making their relationship Instagram official.
A look at Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker’s relationship history
Rumors of a love relationship between the two first surfaced in June 2020, when they took a road trip together to Sedona, Arizona. “They are just pals for now,” a source told People at the time, “but you never know with Kendall.” Rumors spread after the two were seen together on multiple occasions. In August 2020, the putative pair was spotted dining with Kendall Jenner’s sister Kylie Jenner at Nobu in Malibu. Booker even made an appearance at Kim Kardashian’s 40th birthday celebration in Tahiti. “It’s simple since they get along well, and he also gets along well with her family,” Us reports.
On Valentine’s Day 2021, the pair finally made their love public by tweeting adorable photos of themselves together and captioning them with heart emojis. “Kendall is quite pleased with Devin,” People reports. They even turned to Instagram to show off their ideal relationship on their one anniversary in June 2021.
Jenner hit significant girlfriend goals in July 2021 when she cheered for her beau during the NBA finals. “I’m not emotional, you are,” she captioned her Instagram story from the occasion. The pair got some much-needed time off and traveled to Italy for an intimate holiday in August 2021. Kendall also met Devin’s grandma for the first time around this time.
Kendall Jenner said to Jimmy Falon on The Late Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on September 15th, 2021 that Devin has integrated himself into her family and that her nieces adore him.
“Him and Stormi have an incredible bond.” She has a huge crush on him, and I’m envious at times. ‘Stop,’ I say. “Can’t you guys?”
Booker came to Instagram in November 2021 to wish his lady love a happy birthday. He captioned a series of images “Most gorgeous lady.” The Jenners seemed to have given Booker their blessing by allowing him to partake in Christmas celebrations and customs, such as the customized gingerbread home that Kris Jenner gives to each of her six children.
The much-loved duo appeared with another celebrity couple, Justin and Hailey Beiber, during the 2022 Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
Devin talked to the Wall Street Journal in March 2022 about his relationship with the American reality TV star and if dating another famous person was difficult. He said,
“I wouldn’t say it’s difficult; honestly, I’m enjoying life to the fullest, and it fell off my mouth so easy because it wasn’t always this way, but I feel like I’m in a wonderful place right now.”
The pair last appeared in public together on May 22, 2022, when they attended Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Baker’s wedding in Italy. The pair was spotted smiling, holding hands, and eating with family and friends.
