Kendall Jenner is setting the record straight regarding long-standing speculation about her personal life and her relationship with fellow supermodel Cara Delevingne. During the trailer for the eighth season of Hulu’s The Kardashians, released on September 17, the 30-year-old model directly addressed persistent rumors that she and Delevingne were once romantically involved.
Sitting side-by-side backstage at a high-fashion event, the longtime friends addressed the gossip head-on. “There’s definitely a rumor that Cara and I dated, which is not true,” Jenner stated in the episode. When Jenner cheekily quipped, “Never say never, right?” the comment prompted Delevingne to burst into laughter.
According to the show, the pair have maintained a close friendship for approximately 11 or 12 years. Jenner noted that Delevingne played a pivotal role when she was first starting out in the high-fashion industry. “She kind of, like, brought me under her wing in a way and made me feel really safe and welcome in the modeling world,” Jenner explained.
Addressing Wider Speculation About Her S**xuality
The conversation surrounding her dynamic with Delevingne follows other recent instances where Jenner has pushed back on public speculation regarding her s*xuality. Earlier this year, Jenner spoke openly during an appearance on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast about internet theories labeling her as a closeted lesbian.
Expressing frustration over the tone of the discourse, Jenner shared, “You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it. It’s not with, like, a welcoming arm… It’s very mean.” She added that if she did identify as a lesbian, she would have come out publicly by now, noting, “Knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I’d be out if I was.”
