Bad bunny And Kendall Jenner have reportedly broken up after less than a year of dating.
Both People And Entertainment tonight reported on Sunday, December 17, that the couple recently split. Neither Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), 29, nor the model, 28, have publicly commented on the split.
The rapper was first linked to Jenner in February when they were spotted on a date in Beverly Hills, but they have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye. Although they both attended the 2023 Met Gala in May 2023, they walked the red carpet separately before reuniting later that evening at an after-party.
The following month, Bad Bunny explained why he wanted to keep the romance a secret. “I know something is going to come out of it,” he said Rolling stone. “I know [people are] going to say something. People know everything about me, so what else can I protect? My private life, my personal life.”
When asked to make his relationship with Jenner official, he said, “That’s the only answer. At the end of the day, all I have is my privacy.”
A month earlier, a source said We weekly that Jenner saw “long-term potential” in Bad Bunny, noting that she “feels like he is the complete package and he treats her like a true gentleman.”
According to the insider, Jenner was “really attracted” to Bad Bunny’s confidence. “They have a great time together, and she appreciates that he gets along with all her friends,” the source said. “They complement each other on so many levels and she enjoys getting to know him better every day.”
A second insider said Us in August that the couple’s “bond has grown even stronger” since the early days of their romance. “Kendall has become much closer to Bad Bunny in recent months,” the source revealed. “It was more casual when they first started dating, but after a short period of time she saw long-term potential in their relationship.”
The couple teamed up in September after they were both tapped by Gucci’s creative director Sabato De Sarno to star in his debut Gucci Valigeria campaign. They sat together in the front row of the Gucci fashion show in Milan later that month.
Weeks later, Jenner traveled to New York City to support her boyfriend as he pulled double duty Saturday evening live. The SNL afterparty was their last public outing.
Before Jenner started dating Bad Bunny, he was in a relationship with Devin Boeker on and off for almost two years. Us confirmed the duo’s split in November 2022. Bad Bunny seemingly shaded the Phoenix Suns player, 27, in his song “Coco Chanel” in March, with the translated lyrics: “But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows. .”
