At this point, I actually don’t believe the gossip/conspiracy theory that Kendall Jenner is a lesbian and that all of her “boyfriends” are just beards. I think if Kendall was gay, she would just be gay and be out about it. It’s 2018 and she lives in California, and she’s friends with Cara Delevingne. She could still have a huge career if she came out, and she would have complete support of her family and friends. It’s just far more likely to me that Kendall is a heterosexual tomboy who doesn’t want to follow the same TMI-heavy path as her sisters when she’s in a relationship. At some point, she was maybe-probably dating A$AP Rocky, I think. And Blake Griffin was definitely her boyfriend for a short time. Apparently, her new boyfriend is 76er Ben Simmons:

Kendall Jenner is dating Philadelphia 76er Ben Simmons, multiple sources tell Page Six exclusively. An insider familiar with the duo said the romance has been going on “for a few weeks.” Another source told us the pair was spotted this week on a lunch date at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And a third source said that Jenner, 22, and Simmons, 21, were seen last week in Manhattan with a group of friends at the clubby Bowery restaurant Vandal.

“Security measures seemed to have been taken to ensure Kendall and Ben enjoyed their night hassle free,” said a witness. “They were smiling the night away with their friends.”

This story was so boring to me that I didn’t even write about it or mention it when it came out a few days ago. Unless Kendall starts dating ladies, I tend to believe most people don’t care about her short-term boyfriends. So why write about it now? Because there’s a shady element to it! Apparently, Ben Simmons was dating Tinashe and there might have been some overlap between his thing with Tinashe and his thing with Kendall. And now Tinashe’s brother is getting involved.

After Page Six exclusively revealed that 76ers star Ben Simmons is dating Kendall Jenner — the 6-foot-10 Rookie of the Year candidate is being accused of striking up the romance with the supermodel before he broke up with his ex, singer Tinashe. A source told Page Six that Simmons has been seeing Jenner “for a few weeks.” They were spotted together in New York last week and in LA on Tuesday. But after our report, Tinashe’s teen brother, Kudzai Kachingwe, went ballistic on Simmons on Twitter, alleging that the NBA star only broke up with Tinashe on Sunday, and that he was “cheating” on her.

“Never met you before in my life. Days after u break my sis heart u do this,” Kachingwe posted. He added: “no f - - king excuse for cheating, be a man and figure it out.”

Then again, some reports have had another timeline — MTO News said on May 25 that Simmons and Tinashe parted ways because Tinashe was “doing Kardashian s - - t.” A source told the site of Tinashe, “She is way too public with everything. They just started dating and this girl is calling up paparazzi.”

Either way, Kachingwe also addressed the Kardashian comparison on Twitter on Wednesday, posting: “people all lied on her talking fake news about my sis doing kardashian s - - t u cheat on her w a Jenner.”

Granted, I don’t follow the comings and goings of Tinashe, just as I don’t follow the comings and goings of Ben Simmons (or any 76er, honestly), but it’s funny that Tinashe is accused of doing “Kardashian sh-t” and exploiting the relationship when it feels like almost no one knew they were even happening in the first place? When the Ben-Kendall story came out a few days ago, most people shrugged and were like “okay, so Kendall’s got a new piece.” It just didn’t feel like anyone had the gossip about Ben and Tinashe in the first place. Anyway, this has all been an attempt to make Kendall’s romantic life more interesting. Did it work?

Here are some pics of Kendall & Ben leaving The Nice Guy in LA last night:
