Supermodel and reality TV star Kendall Jenner has chosen to directly confront and clarify one of the most persistent rumours about her personal life: speculation regarding her sexuality. In a recent podcast appearance, the 30-year-old member of the Kardashian-Jenner family opened up about the online narrative that labels her as a lesbian.
Setting the Record Straight on Sexuality
Jenner acknowledged the widespread belief on the internet about her being gay. She expressed empathy for the difficulty of the coming-out process for many people, but was clear about her own stance. "There's the whole side of the internet that thinks I'm a lesbian," Jenner stated, as reported by Page Six. She added, "I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people. And I'm not saying that's an easy thing, but knowing, and I can speak for myself here, and knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I'd be out if I was."
No Hidden Truth, But Open to Life's Experiences
Reiterating her point, Jenner emphasised that her current life choices reflect her true self. She pushed back against the idea that she is concealing a part of her identity. "I think that there's this whole narrative that I'm hiding this thing. All's to say, as of today, I am not," she declared. However, the supermodel also left room for future possibilities, stating, "I don't think I will be, but I'm not closing doors to experiences in life." This nuanced statement clarifies her present reality while acknowledging that personal journeys can evolve.
A History of Private Relationships in the Public Eye
Despite her high-profile status, Kendall Jenner has consistently preferred to keep her romantic life away from the intense spotlight of her family's reality shows and media scrutiny. Over the years, she has been linked to several famous personalities, including:
- Singer Harry Styles
- NBA star Devin Booker
- Rapper Bad Bunny
This preference for privacy was explained by 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' executive producer Farnaz Farjam in 2021. Farjam revealed that Jenner had a personal rule of being with someone for at least a year before introducing them on the show, due to concerns about people's intentions. Jenner herself has described her relationships as "special and sacred," believing they become messier when exposed to public consumption.
By addressing the rumours head-on, Kendall Jenner has taken control of the narrative surrounding her personal life, affirming her truth while respectfully acknowledging the broader significance of coming out conversations.
