Dunzo! Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons have split up, In Touch has learned. Even though the former flames were super private, it seems like the relationship ran its course. “It wasn’t working out. They were long distance too much of time, and it just fizzled,” a source exclusively revealed. It’s surprising that the duo went their separate ways since the 23-year-old just gushed about her romance with the athlete in an interview with Vogue Australia for their June 2019 issue. The model even went into further detail about her plans for marriage. “Maybe. Definitely not now, but maybe one day,” she said. “I got a glimpse of how my sisters dealt with [the attention], and it’s cool to learn from that.” James Devaney / Getty Images Unlike her other sisters who flaunt their relationships in public or on social media, the KUWTK starlet wanted to keep her beau out of the spotlight. “For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships, and I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier,” she confessed. “I’m very young and right now I feel like relationships aren’t always super certain, and I don’t want to bring too much attention to something if you don’t really know long term [what it’s going to be].” She continued, “A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally. Like once everyone is let in, you’re letting all these opinions into your relationships, and I don’t think that’s fair.” Kenny confirmed she was dating the 22-year-old during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in February. “So obviously you’re dating this guy who’s on the 76ers. How long have you been dating him?” Ellen DeGeneres asked. Kendall replied, “For a bit now.” The two started seeing each other in March of 2018. Prior to the breakup, Kendall was spotted at the basketball player’s games and went on a couple of dates in Philadelphia. “Everyone has their own path and their own way of letting the cards fall,” Kendall concluded. “Your 20s are for messing up and figuring it out.” Preach, girl!<doc-sep>The ongoing subject of the relationship between Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons and rumored (ex?) girlfriend Kendall Jenner has drawn attention as the 2019 NBA Playoffs roll along. But the latest on the situation between the Sixers star and model has led to plenty of questions and even some concern from fans. With the Sixers’ second-round playoff matchup against the Toronto Raptors going to Game 7, the topic of Simmons’ off-court life has come to light. Specifically, whether he and Jenner are officially no longer together. After the two spent a lot of time together last offseason and she was even seen at the team’s games this season, the answer appears to be coming together, at least for now. The latest area of concern for fans who were on board with the Simmons-Jenner relationship, and possibly worry from the guard himself, involves former One Direction singer Harry Styles. Latest on Ben Simmons & Kendall Jenner Breakup, Harry Styles As James Brinsford of Mirror.co.uk stated, when Jenner and Styles ran into each other at the recent Met Gala, it was “the reunion that many Kardashian fans wanted.” But as he so perfectly put it, “Kendall’s boyfriend was not so impressed.” Unfortunately, there’s been no official update on a Simmons-Jenner breakup. Although Brinsford calls the former relationship between Jenner and Styles a “reported ‘fling,'” he stated that the Sixers star wound up “confused” by the situation between the two. Part of this surely stems from the report that the singer and model were among the last people to leave the Met Gala after-party.

Beyond that, it appears Jenner and Styles left the party, which was held at the Moxy in New York City in Times Square around 6 a.m. on Monday morning, as Daily Mail’s Rebecca Davison reported. She states that the duo spent four hours together inside the party together. Ben Simmons & Rumored Girlfriend Kendall Jenner Slow Down This latest update involving Styles comes just weeks after the news that Simmons and Jenner reportedly cooled things off a bit. The decision apparently stemmed from the fact that the Sixers guard wanted to focus on the NBA playoffs and the team’s push to the NBA Finals, as Erin Silvia and Russ Weakland of Hollywood Life revealed. “Ben is devoted to the NBA playoffs right now and going out on dates with Kendall would be a bad look for a team that is looking to win the NBA Championship,” a source close to Kendall and Ben EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “It’s all business and it’s all basketball for Ben … The report goes on to point out that while Jenner was invited to attend Simmons’ games, that she was also busy. But from here this is when even more confusion was injected into the situation and the relationship status. First, Certified Pop reported that Jenner met with Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin, who she previously dated, for dinner recently. But even beyond that, the model was spotted with another ex who also plays in the NBA, when Sports Gossip reported Jenner and Jordan Clarkson were seen together at Travis Scott’s birthday party. It’ll be interesting to see how all this pans out between Simmons and Jenner, especially considering it appears there was no actual “breakup,” at least not officially. With that said, the way the recent weeks have gone may cause a rift between the two, and no update on their current status has come to light as of late.

On Thursday, photographs of Jenner and Styles taken while they were exiting the afterparty at the Moxy in New York City’s Times Square were shared by Daily Mail. The exes reportedly left the building at around 6 a.m. the morning after the Met Gala. Although Kendall and Harry did not leave the bash together, they reportedly spent around four hours partying together. When it was time to leave, Caitlyn Jenner’s daughter was escorted by a bodyguard until she got into her ride. Based on the photos, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star already ditched her bright orange, feathery gown for a more manageable gray mini suit. A few moments after Jenner was spotted walking outside of the venue, the former One Direction singer emerged wearing a statement bow-tie, a billowing sleeve shirt with button hole details and high-waisted tailored troursers. At the Met Gala, Styles rocked an all-black ensemble comprising the same trousers and a sheer top with frills. He also caught a lot of attention by wearing a large pearl earring, which he replaced with a black cross earring at the afterparty. Aside from hanging out at the afterparty, Kendall and Harry were also photographed chatting with one another on the Met Gala red carpet. The two Hollywood personalities dated on-and-off from 2013 to 2016, and they managed to remain good friends even after officially parting ways. As of late, Styles is not dating anybody. On the other hand, Jenner is reportedly romancing Philadelphia 76ers player Ben Simmons. However, rumors are claiming that Kendall and Ben may have already broken up since the last time that they were spotted together was back in March. Kylie Jenner’s sister used to frequently attend Simmons’ games, but she hasn’t been seen on the sidelines since last month. Fuelling the split rumors even more was Kendall’s recent sighting with another ex-boyfriend, Jordan Clarkson, at Travis Scott’s birthday party. Days before that, she also reunited with her other ex, Blake Griffin, while Simmons was focused on his team’s game against the Raptors. Photo: Getty Images/Gabe Ginsberg<doc-sep>
Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons have called it quits. The pair reportedly split just before this year’s Met Gala, crediting distance as a factor causing the breakup. “They are still on fine terms and have been in touch,” an insider told E! News before adding that Los Angeles to Philadelphia, where Simmons plays for the 76ers, “was getting to be a lot.” RELATED: Kendall Jenner Talks Marriage And Her Private Relationship With Ben Simmons “She cares about Ben and always wants to end her relationships on good terms,” the source continued. “Kendall knew she had several out of the country trips coming up and thought it would be best if they took some space. It’s been hard for them with the time differences and both of their schedules but there is a chance they will get back together.” Recently, the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star, 23, opened up about her relationship with her basketball beau with Vogue Australia, revealing she doesn’t like bringing her love interests into the public eye. “For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships, and I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier,” she explained.

A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally. Like once everyone is let in, you’re letting all these opinions into your relationships, and I don’t think that’s fair.” And during an interview with GQ, Simmons avoided all questions of Jenner, “I keep a lot of things to myself.” The pair were first spotted together in May 2018, shortly after Jenner split with fellow NBA star Blake Griffin.
