No, Kendall Jenner isn’t gay.
On the latest episode of Owen Thiel’s In Your Dreams podcast, the model addressed speculation that has been swirling online.
“There's the whole side of the internet that thinks I'm a lesbian," she told the host around the 36:50 minute mark.
"You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it," Jenner continued. "It's not with, like, a welcoming arm of like, 'Hey, if you were, yes, come join.' It's not kind. It's very mean. It's very like, 'What the fuck are you doing?'"
She explained that though she doesn’t identify as gay, she wouldn’t hide it if she were.
"I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people," the 30-year-old explained. "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. I'm not saying it's an easy thing. I'm just saying that knowing me and knowing how I would want to live my life, I would be. I'd have no problem being that."
"I think that there's this whole narrative that I'm hiding this thing,” she continued. “I've seen really fucked up things that are like, 'It's bad for business,' and I'm like, 'What? How?' I don't understand it."
"All's to say, as of today, I am not," Jenner said. "I don't think I will be, but I'm not closing doors to experiences in life."
Kendall has had some high-profile relationships, including her most recent romance with Bad Bunny, which ended in late 2023, and her two-year relationship with Devin Booker. She also previously dated Harry Styles, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, and ASAP Rocky.
Jenner has purposely kept her love life private, telling Vogue Australia in 2019 that she does so because she views her friendships and relationships as “special and very sacred.” She added, “I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier.”
