Love and basketball! The Kardashian-Jenner sisters have a long history of high-profile relationships, many of which involve NBA players.
Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, for their part, have dated musicians, rappers and
models over the years. As of June 2021, neither the youngest nor the eldest Kardashian-Jenner sibling had a public relationship with a basketball player.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars are no strangers to scrutiny over their love lives, no matter who they are linked to. In fact, Kendall has clapped back at trolls judging her choice in men on more than one occasion.
In July 2019, she fired back on Twitter after seeing a viral meme that insinuated that she dated a whole starting NBA lineup.
“This is a playoff team lmao,” a social media user captioned an image that was titled, “Starting 5 of NBA Players Kendall Jenner Dated.” The model was quick to correct the user, tweeting, “2 out of 5 accurate, thanks.”
One year later, Kendall, again took to social media to shut down haters who poked fun at her relationship history via TikTok.

“Nba players passing around Kendall Jenner,” one user captioned a video of three men playfully tossing a little girl in a circle in April 2020. “Maybe she passing them around,” a second user replied.
The TV personality quipped: “They act like I’m not in full control of where I throw this cooch.”

Us exclusively confirmed in August 2020 that the duo were back together and talking about more kids. “Khloé would love to give daughter True a sibling because she is at the perfect age,” the insider said at the time.
However, the reconciliation ended less than a year later in June 2021. “They remain amicable toward each other and will continue to coparent,” an insider told Us at the time. “There was no drama that broke them up, things just didn’t work out between the two of them.”
After rumors surrounding their relationship status swirled in August 2021, a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that the pair had not reconciled and were simply focused on coparenting their daughter, True.
“Tristan is training for the NBA and is focused on that at the moment,” the insider told Us. “They still coparent well and he plans on making time to hang with Khloe and True when he’s not playing basketball.”
