Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are at the center of some rather juicy romance rumors, but are the pair actually dating or is this all pure speculation? Here's what we know...

Do you hear that? That's the sound of hearts breaking all over the globe after Kendall and Bad Bunny (real name Benito Ocasio) were once again spotted together but this time, leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party—adding further fuel to those romance rumors initially sparked by anonymous gossip account, DeuxMoi.

Yes, it looks like we've finally gotten some visual confirmation of a budding relationship between Benito and Kendall after weeks of wondering and it's safe to say that this is one celebrity pairing that no one saw coming. Especially with many still linking Bad Bunny to girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri, though there have been breakup rumors swirling around them for some time. Here are all the latest developments in their unfolding dating saga...

Are Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny together?

So, who is Kendall Jenner's boyfriend now? Following her split from her NBA beau, Devin Booker in October 2022, could she and Benito really be our newest A-list pairing? Let's analyze the very compelling evidence...

Following Bad Bunny's viral moment with Taylor Swift at the Grammys, his name hit the headlines once again, but this time alongside Kendall Jenner's. The relationship rumors were initially sparked after the anonymous gossip account, Deuxmoi (opens in new tab) posted a blind item suggesting that on February 16, that read: "This single, famous model sister was seen playing tonsil hockey with Bad Bunny at a private L.A. club last night."

Deuxmoi then followed up, addressing the item on her podcast DeuxU and saying: "So I'm revealing it was Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, I have witnesses on the scene who saw her in the club."

Now of course, at this point we only have DeuxMoi's word for it on these Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner kissing rumors, so not exactly damning evidence—though the plot now thickens...

E! News (opens in new tab) then reported that Kendall and Bad Bunny were spotted on February 19, leaving a restaurant around the same time, along with Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber.

Then, following this sighting a source also told People (opens in new tab) that: "Kendall recently started hanging out with him. They were introduced by friends. He moved to L.A. a few weeks ago and bought a house," before adding, "She likes him and is having fun, he is different from guys that she dated in the past. He is very charming."

Fans have also spotted yet another indication that there might be something to these rumors, as internet sleuths have spotted that Kendall's ex, Devin Booker has now unfollowed her (and vice versa) as well as Hailey on Instagram. 

But here comes the development that really blows this dating case wide open, on March 8  the pair were photographed together, sharing what looks very suspiciously like a smooch...

According to TMZ (opens in new tab), the pair enjoyed a sushi date together in West Hollywood, alongside some of Kenny's friends and sister, Kylie Jenner before they were then snapped kissing goodbye. Now, we'd like to point out that you can't actually see the kiss, but their body language does seem to imply an intimate embrace...

As of March 14 though, we have yet another compelling piece of evidence to this dating saga, the Daily Mail (opens in new tab) reported that the pair were seen and pictured leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars After-party together and getting into the same car. It's unclear whether they attended as an item, but still!

Of course, there's still no official confirmation (bar these pics) from either party, though Twitter is certainly having a field day...

Best reactions to those Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny rumors...

So far the couple is receiving mixed reactions, with many fans heartbroken at the idea of Benito being again potentially off the market. One fan tweeted: "me rn when I see Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner trending."
