Being one of the prominent stars in the NBA, Kevin Durant's love life is a matter of interest for many, but the Suns' forward makes sure that his personal life does not make mainstream headlines.

Are Kevin Durant and Kendall Jenner Dating?
The assertions about Kevin Durant and Kendall Jenner being in a romantic relationship have been amplified on social media. The account which posted about it first credited TMZ Sports for the news. However, upon further gauging NBACentel turned out to be the carrier of the remour. There is no substance to it and nothing has been emanated from either Durant or Jenner's camp.
Thus, the news is 100% fake. Once again, social media users have been fooled by the notorious "NBACentel." They have the reputation for spreading rumours across X and have been doing it for over a year now.

Thus, the bottom line is that Kevin Durant is not dating Kendall Jenner. NBACentel was behind spreading the whole rumour and the act of crediting TMZ Sports was made just to make it authentic. X rolled out a new feature recently where accounts that post content such as this are given the ‘parody’ label next to them on each tweet. Surprisingly, this is not the case with ‘NBACentel’ and this could be contributing to users falling for their constant fake news attempts.

Intention Behind the Rumour
Only the unserved would speculate why KD's name was thrown in the mix. If you are one of them, then it should be noted that Kendall Jenner was in a relationship with Devin Booker from 2021 to 2023. Booker is a teammate and a good friend of Kevin Durant. Hence, the rumour was seemingly created with the intention to make it look like a rift between Booker and Durant or there are many reasons which could be explored.
