Kendall Jenner Gives Rare Insight Into Private Life, Confessing She’s Been In ‘Toxic Relationships’

Kendall Jenner publicly acknowledged her relationship with NBA player Devin Booker for the first time on Valentine's Day, last year.

Jenner has been rumoured to have been in a relationship with Booker for almost a year. Booker, 25, is a professional basketball player who currently is signed to the Phoenix Suns.

Jenner and Disick later made up.

As for her 'toxic relationships' she didn't shed further details, and the model is yet to discuss Booker on the Hulu series.

June 14, 2021: KUWTK producer explains Kendall Jenner's one-year dating rule on show

A producer from Jenner’s show Keeping Up With The Kardashians has explained why fans never got a look in at the model’s romances.

Executive producer Farnaz Farjam opened up on Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast and noted: ‘Kendall’s always had this rule – she felt like she had to be with someone for at least a year before she let them be a part of the show, because she doesn’t always know what people’s intentions are. So that’s why we kind of kept her personal life out of it, just because she had a rule.

Meanwhile, when it came to Jenner’s sister Kylie’s relationship with Travis Scott, with whom she co-parents three-year-old daughter Stormi – Farjam said that the rapper ‘didn’t really want to participate’.

'I feel like Kylie became more participatory this last season towards the end, and Kendall has dipped in and out,’ she explained. ‘But they were at an age ... like, if you think about when you're a young adult coming into adulthood, I think you sometimes care a lot more what the outside world has to say about you.

'[Kylie] did share her relationship with Tyga. We showed their relationship quite a bit on Keeping Up, and then Travis [Scott] didn't really want to participate.'
