Kendall Jenner’s super private romance with Bad Bunny has apparently ended, less than a year after the two reportedly started dating. While they were seen out and about several times over the course of their relationship, neither of them ever publicly spoke about the other or provided any clarification about their romance. We may not know much about their coupledom, but a source has provided some insight into their split, alleging that things merely “fizzled out” between them.

The Puerto Rican rapper was first connected to the Kardashians’ little sister in February 2023, shortly after Kendall Jenner broke up with Devin Booker. According to an insider, there was no drama that contributed to her split from Bad Bunny, and they just drifted apart. The source told ET

Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately and things slowly started to fizzle out between them. They both knew going into this that it likely wouldn't be a forever type of relationship and that was mutually understood from the get-go. They have crazy busy schedules and know they're still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down.

The insider alleges that both parties knew this relationship wasn’t endgame and even after the breakup, there "isn’t any negativity between them and they still want the best for one another." That sentiment reportedly also extends to the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family, as the source continued: 

Kendall’s family still thinks highly of him. They just want her to be with whoever makes her happy, treats her with love and respect, and someone that understands and can handle the attention that comes along with dating her with poise and grace.

The end of a relationship is rarely easy, but it’s good to hear that things seem to be amicable. Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) were reportedly last seen together in October following Bad Bunny’s Saturday Night Live gig. They’d previously been photographed on a horseback riding date and attended Coachella together (where Bad Bunny seemed to shade Jenner’s ex Harry Styles).

Not surprisingly, though, Bad Bunny never made an appearance on The Kardashians. Kendall Jenner is one of the more private members of her famous family, and both she and sister Kylie tend to keep their relationships off of the reality show. 

Speaking of Kylie Jenner, while Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny may have drifted apart, the opposite seems to be true of Kylie and her beau Timothée Chalamet. Despite their busy work schedules, the makeup mogul and the Wonka star are reportedly going strong as they support each other’s career and family endeavors.

The Jenner sisters may be content to keep their romances away from the prying eyes of the reality TV cameras, but that certainly doesn’t make their fans any less interested in them. While we wait for the next morsel of information on that front, you can relive all of their family’s antics on The Kardashians, which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription.
