There has been a lot of buzz online about the possibility of a romantic relationship between Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny. Speculations started after TMZ published photos of the two arriving at and leaving the popular restaurant Wally’s with Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, over the weekend.
Arrival Times and Departure Routes
According to TMZ, Kendall Jenner arrived at Wally’s first at around 8:30 p.m., followed by Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny at 8:42 p.m. The Biebers arrived at the restaurant separately. Jenner was seen leaving Wally’s through the front door at 11:06 p.m., while Bad Bunny left minutes earlier through the back of the restaurant. The Biebers also reportedly left through the back of the restaurant, almost an hour before Jenner’s departure.
Social Media Frenzy
Photos and video footage of the two at the same restaurant were published after Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi posted a blind item on Friday about a new couple in the making. Although neither of the stars has publicly commented on the speculations, rumors of a romantic relationship between them have sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter.
Jokes and Memes on Twitter
Many Twitter users posted jokes and memes in reaction to the dating rumors. One Twitter user shared a widely circulated meme of Jennifer Lopez saying, “Mi gente Latino (my Latin people) while accepting an award,” with the caption, “Kendall Jenner on the next episode of The Kardashians.” The post appeared to be a nod to the Kardashian-Jenner family being accused of cultural appropriation in the past. Additionally, Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was criticized for not using the correct feminine “mi gente Latina.”
Another Twitter user shared a clip of Kristen Wiig clumsily speaking Spanish in a scene from the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids, imagining that it would be how Jenner would talk to Bad Bunny.
Is Kris Jenner Involved?
One Twitter user theorized that Kris Jenner, Kendall’s mother, is the one behind the purported relationship. They wrote: “Here’s what happened: Kendall wasn’t relevant anymore, so Kris Jenner stepped in… ‘Benito, hi! It’s Kris. I need a teeny tiny favor.'”
Relationship History of Kendall Jenner
Model Jenner was most recently romantically linked to NBA All-Star and Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker from early 2020. Cosmopolitan reported that, from 2018 to 2019, Jenner was an item with NBA star Ben Simmons. She also dated Boston Celtics star Blake Griffin in 2017, as well as basketball players Kyle Kuzma in 2019 and Jordan Clarkson in 2016.
In a 2019 interview with Vogue Australia, Jenner revealed her reluctance to speak publicly on her relationships after seeing the issues her older sisters—including Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian—have faced. “A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally,” Jenner said. “Like once everyone is let in, you’re letting all these opinions into your relationships, and I don’t think that’s fair.”
Conclusion
While the rumors of a relationship between Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny continue to circulate online, neither of the stars has publicly commented on the speculations. Only time will tell whether the rumors are true or not, but for now, fans will continue to speculate and make jokes on social media.
