Kendall famously dated<\/a> the NBA star for several years, beginning in 2020. They reportedly split in 2022, with a source telling Entertainment Tonight that the pair were on “different paths” \u2014 but that was short-lived. Just days later, they sparked reconciliation rumors after stepping out together, though they reportedly split again later that year due to their “busy schedules.”\"Devin<\/p>\n

By early 2024, a source told People the two were “navigating a restart,” but nothing was ever confirmed, and by December 2025, Kendall was rumored<\/a> to be dating someone else.\"Devin<\/p>\n

The remark came after the Fanatics Instagram page shared a video of Kendall on The Tonight Show, where she spoke to Jimmy Fallon about her new Super Bowl ad<\/a> for the brand. In it, she made fun of the “Kardashian Kurse” \u2014 a long-held belief that anyone who dates her or a member of her family will eventually experience a career downfall.\"Kendall<\/p>\n
