Kendall Jenner addressed the long-standing rumor that she is queer. She is not. For now. “As of today, I am not,” she said on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast. “I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.” On the podcast, Kendall shouted out “the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,” noting that the weirdest part of the gay rumors is that they’re not exactly offering a Pepsi of sisterhood to her. “You want to know what really bothers me?” she asked. “How mean people are about it. It’s not with, like, a welcoming arm of like, ‘Hey, if you were, yes, come join.’ It’s not kind. It’s very mean. It’s very like, ‘What the fuck are you doing?’”
For years, the blind-item gossip demimonde has conjectured that Kendall is a lesbian but her momager, Kris Jenner, won’t let her come out and damage the family brand. Kendall has seen the blinds. “I’ve seen really fucked-up things that are like, ‘It’s bad for business,’ and I’m like, ‘What? How?’ I don’t understand it,” she said. But Kendall says she’s too transparent for this sort of cloak-and-dagger lifestyle: “Knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I’d be out if I was. I’m not saying it’s an easy thing. I’m just saying that knowing me and knowing how I would want to live my life, I would be.”
Kendall has been linked to several fellas over the years, though few have actually been confirmed as partners. In high school, she was rumored to date Harry Styles after he broke up with Taylor Swift. Other unconfirmed paramours include A$AP Rocky, multiple NBA players, and, most recently, Bad Bunny. But no one has been gingerbread-house official like sister Kylie and Timothée Chalamet. When it comes to the Kardashian-Jenners, don’t believe it until you see it on a dessert.
