The real reasons why Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny broke up after 10 months of dating
Why Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner called it quits less than a year into dating
After over a year of dating, Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny have reportedly called it quits. The couple was expected to end 2023 as one of Hollywood's hottest couples. The rapper and model are rumored to have broken up in early December 2023, however, neither has addressed the rumors publicly. According to PEOPLE magazine, the model and the musician ended their relationship on December 17. The two initially sparked relationship rumors following their appearance on a double date in Los Angeles with Hailey and Justin Bieber in February 2023. Their most recent public appearance together was at an October 'Saturday Night Live' after-party.
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny knew their relationship wasn't forever
According to an insider, what ultimately caused the couple to break up was that the two celebrities were aware that their romance had an end date from the beginning, as per Entertainment Tonight. The source claimed, "Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately, and things slowly started to fizzle out between them. They both knew going into this that it likely wouldn’t be a forever type of relationship, and that was mutually understood from the get-go."
Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner 'have crazy-busy schedules', per a source
Time is another important factor for the two ending their relationship. "They have crazy-busy schedules and know they’re still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down," the insider added. It was difficult to give their developing relationship the attention it needed because Bad Bunny was busy organizing his 2024 international tour, which made Kendall believe that "the relationship truly ran its course."
Bad Bunny admitted that he does not want to marry
Given the rapper's remarks about marriage and family made earlier in 2023, fans might not be shocked by Kendall and Bad Bunny's split. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the musician admitted that he does not envision himself getting married, at least not anytime soon. He mentioned his relationship with Kendall in passing as well, saying that he was not interested in sharing details about it. "I'm not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone," Bunny said at the time. Kendall's previous statements are at odds with Bunny's views on getting married, as the supermodel has always expressed her desire to start a family. Since Kendall is the only member of Kris Jenner's family without children yet, her mother has even conceded to pressing her to start making plans on that front.
There's no animosity between Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner
According to an Entertainment Tonight source, there is no animosity between the ex-couples, despite the possibility that Kendall and Bad Bunny disagreed on their plans for the future. "There’s no bad blood," a source told The Messenger. The rapper also got along well with Kendall's family, who reportedly always encouraged their relationship. The insider claimed that although they are no longer romantically involved, "there isn’t any negativity between them and they still want the best for one another." The model's family, in particular, "still thinks highly of [Bad Bunny]."
Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny maintained a low-key relationship
Speaking of the spotlight the model and singer were receiving, Bad Bunny and Kendall had a low-key relationship for the most part, except for co-starring in a Gucci commercial. Both advocated for privacy during their relationship as well. Bunny revealed to Rolling Stone in a June 2023 interview, "People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life. That’s the only answer. In the end, the only thing I have is my privacy," as per Entertainment Tonight. That same month, Kendall stated to WSJ Magazine, "I’ll go out of my way to do things as privately as possible because I just think that that’s the healthier way of dealing with relationships anyway."
