Blake Griffin: The pair began dating in the summer of 2017 while Griffin was the face of the Los Angeles Clippers. Jenner was frequently spotted courtside at their games. She vaguely referenced theeir unlabeled relationship in a Vogue interview saying, “he’s very nice.” Their romance fizzled out after Griffin was traded to the Pistons and as Jenner says in the ad spot, “flopped out of the league.”
Ben Simmons: Their on-and-off relationship lasted between 2018 and 2019 when he played for the 76ers. The most dramatic twist in this relationship came years later when Ben Simmons’ sister publicly mocked the model on social media.

Jenner is a slight outlier in the Kar-Jenner empire. She doesn’t showcase her relationships on the family’s flagship show unless she’s confident about its future. It would be a bit of a wait till we’d really know if Jenner and Booker are back together.
