Kendall Jenner's New Boyfriend Is An Australian Basketballer

He grew up in Melbourne - by Anna McClelland
  • 31 May 2018

Forget Blake Griffin - Kendall Jenner has been romantically linked to someone from our own turf: NBA player Ben Simmons, who used to call Australia home.

Multiple sources have confirmed the new relationship between the 22-year-old model and 21-year-old Philadelphia 76ers player to Page Six, with the couple being spotted on lunch dates in Beverly Hills and in New York City in recent weeks.

Simmons, who grew up in Melbourne, has rapidly become one of Australia's highest paid sports stars, according to The Australian, with an NBA contract worth more than $US20-million, plus a reported five-year $20-million contract with Nike.

While Kendall was previously in a relationship with another NBA star, Blake Griffin, Simmons has been linked to singer Tinashe as recently as this year.
