LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kendall Jenner and musician Bad Bunny were reportedly forming a romantic relationship earlier in 2023, however, by October, their appearances together had dwindled.

February 2023: Romance rumors sparked

Rumors of a romance began after the 'Kardashians' star and the rapper (real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) were spotted leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles in February  2023.

According to E! News, Hailey and Justin Bieber were also present at the restaurant, which indicates that they were on a double date or that everyone was there for brunch at the same time.

"They were introduced by friends. He moved to L.A. a few weeks ago and bought a house," a source told PEOPLE at the time.

The source added: "She likes him and is having fun. He is different from guys that she dated in the past."

Romance rumors began to circulate following Jenner's breakup with NBA superstar Devin Booker in October 2022.

The star seems to be referring to a recent Calvin Klein advertisement where she stated, "I don't chase, I attract. What's meant for me, will simply find me."
