Kendall Jenner confesses she 'wouldn't be opposed' to 'having some fun with a girl' as she addresses 'lesbian' rumors… amid Jacob Elordi romance

Kendall Jenner is opening up about rumors claiming she's a lesbian that have trailed her for years.

On Thursday's episode of The Kardashians, Jenner addressed the speculation that she and her fellow model Cara Delevingne are something more than friends.

'We have been friends for a long time now – going on 11 or 12 years. She brought me under her wing – in a way – and made me feel really safe and welcome in the modeling world,' the 30-year-old model said.

'We should address this. It’s because of our love for each other. People think I’m a lesbian to this day,' Jenner said of her friendship with Delevingne, 34, before declaring: 'I’m not.'

But even as she denied being attracted to women, Jenner teased that she 'wouldn’t be opposed to having some fun with a girl.'

She spoke up on rumors about her sexuality amid her budding romance with Euphoria star Jacob Elordi, 29, who was seen having an outburst at photographers during their trip to Paris in September.

Jenner acknowledged that 'There’s definitely a rumor that [Delevingne] and I dated or something in the past, which is not true. 

'Not that I would have anything wrong with dating Cara, but we’ve just always been best buds,' she clarified. 

'I love Cara. She’s my sister, and that never happened,' Jenner continued, adding, 'For the record, I think being a lesbian would be fun and amazing.'

The catwalk star mused that 'being a lesbian would be fun and easier' than being straight because 'men suck.'

'By the way, I have nothing against having sex with Cara,' Jenner stated. 'I just have never had a desire to have sex with women.'

She added winkingly: 'Never say never, right?'

Jenner and Elordi were first linked in April, when they were seen kissing at the afterparty for her friend Justin Bieber's Coachella performance. 

But an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail they had been dating 'as far back as early February' thanks to Jenner's younger sister Kylie setting them up. 

Since then, Jenner and the Wuthering Heights star have jetset across the globe, with trips to Hawaii, Tokyo, London, Paris and more international destinations.

The lovebirds even went viral during their trip to Tokyo earlier this year after they were spotted holding hands.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star supported Elordi when she traveled with him to London in August for the premiere of his Ridley Scott–directed post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars, where he joined his costars Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce on the red carpet.

Elordi had previously dated Full House star Lori Loughlin's daughter, Olivia Jade, and he also dated Kaia Gerber and his Kissing Booth costar Joey King. 

Before the hulking actor had romanced her, Jenner had dated Bad Bunny for around a year before they broke up in late 2023, only to reunite briefly in 2024 before splitting again.

She had previously developed a reputation for romances with a string of NBA stars, including Blake Griffin, Devin Booker and Ben Simmons.

Jenner previously confronted the rumors about her sexuality that have followed her for years in an appearance on the In Your Dreams podcast in January.

‘There’s the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,’ Jenner told host and actor Owen Thiele. 

Although Jenner said it wasn't unexpected that people speculated about her sexuality, she admitted that she was surprised by the tone they took when sharing rumors.

‘You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it,’ she said. ‘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 f*** are you doing?”’

Jenner emphasized that she didn't consider herself to be a lesbian, and she said she wouldn't hide it if she was. 

'I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people,' she continued. '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.'

Jenner added: 'I think that there's this whole narrative that I'm hiding this thing ... I've seen really f---ed up things that are like, "It's bad for business," and I'm like, "What? How?" I don't understand it.'

She concluded: 'All's to say, as of today, I am not. I don't think I will be, but I'm not closing doors to experiences in life.'

Jenner went on to speak about her romances with A-listers and admitted that they didn't all live up to the hype.

'I’m actually in a, like, me-era right now. I know that might sound corny … but when I turned 29, I had a crash-out about turning 30.

'When I turned 29, I remember saying to myself, I do feel like I’ve been in [relationships] and there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve had great relationships, I’ve had not-so-great relationships, but I felt like through my 20s, I was in a lot. I was in a few long-term consistent relationships … near each other.' 

Despite the high-profile breakups, Jenner insists she’s 'definitely a lover' and remains hopeful she will one day find The One.

She went on to insist she hasn’t given up on romance entirely - even if the road there has been bumpy. 

‘I have a ton of dreams for myself, obviously, like, there’s personal ones, which is, like, a beautiful family and things like that,’ she said. ‘[I want to be] in a beautiful relationship with a lot of understanding and love and all those things.’

But turning 29 marked a turning point, with Jenner admitting she’d spent most of her twenties rarely single. 

‘I never really had my 20s to myself. When I turned 29, I made a minor commitment to myself,’ she explained. 

‘I was, like, “I’m not going to reject anything [and] I’m going to stay open to anything that feels like it would suit me,” but I really wanted to have a “me year” where I chose myself.’

That so-called ‘me year’, she said, wasn’t about cutting men out entirely — just putting herself first. 

‘Not to say that didn’t mean that people came into my life or didn’t come into my life, [but] it wasn’t really about that,’ she added. ‘It was just about being, like, “I want to have fun, I want to choose myself and I want to do what I want to do.”’

Even so, Jenner insisted she knows how to show up when romance does take centre stage. 

‘I really love to be present for my partner, and I really put them first most of the time,’ she said. ‘So, I think, when I turned 29, I was like, “I really want to put myself first right now.” So, that’s where I’m at.’

And with the benefit of hindsight, she admitted the emotional fallout from her twenties ran deeper than she realized. 

‘I felt like I had a bit more trauma from relationships throughout my 20s than I thought I did,’ Jenner said. ‘A lot of it was coming out [and] I was also going through my Saturn return. … It felt like it was never-ending.’

That level of candor is rare for the famously private model, who has long resisted turning her love life into content.

‘For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships,’ she previously told Vogue Australia. ‘I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier.’
