This led to rumors that the two were dating. Recently, Jenner took the opportunity to address the situation and clear things out.

Addressing the recent rumors during The Kardashians season 3 finale, Kyle stated that even though they have shared affectionate moments, they are not dating. The boxing champion, however, seems to have a lot to say about the situation!

Kylie Jenner acknowledged that a lot of people believe that she and her best friend are dating, but she shared her confusion at people’s perceptions. She stated, “I always make out with Stass; I don’t know why this is a new thing.” During the finale episode, both discussed the rumors going around.

Isn’t it so funny that everyone thinks we are dating these days? When we get a little alcohol in our system, and we just like to kiss each other and stuff?“, asked Jenner. Karanikolaou then pointed out that she finds these rumors weird. Furthermore, she stated that they are both just “obsessed with each other.” As Jenner’s statement went viral, Shields also joined in the conversation.
