Who is this rumored Kendall Jenner boyfriend?
Rumors spread over the past week saying the "Keeping Up with the Kardashian" star turned model is dating an NBA rookie.
Kendall Jenner's boyfriend is Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell according to several gossip columns. This rumor was fueled when the 20-year old celebrity was spotted watching Russell's game at Staples Arena.
"According to Hollywood Life, Jenner and Russell met this summer, but only just decided to take their relationship to the next level and the two are, reportedly, an 'official' couple already. Jenner was also seen on the Lakers sideline on October 27, so this is starting to become a courtside pattern," Heavy.com reported.
Both parties are yet to speak about the rumor but some media outlet are already digging deep into the life of the Los Angeles Lakers star. WHAS11 revealed Russell's dad has a history of drug abuse and was arrested just last August for such offense.
"According to WHAS11, a news outlet in Louisville, Kentucky, area, the NBA star's dad Antonio, 40, was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky this past August after being puled over for not wearing a seatbelt.
During the stop, cops found a water bottle filled with a suspicious red liquid that was later identified as codeine, WHAS said. The network also claimed the recent NBA draftee's dad also admitted to cops that there was marijuana in his car too.
The older Russell was eventually charged with "possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence and having marijuana," WHAS11 previously reported. The case is ongoing."
Radar Online further added that the father of Kendall Jenner's boyfriend is under probation until 2016 for possession of marijuana, evading the police, and trafficking a controlled sentence.
Her rumored romance with Russell is yet to be confirmed and it is unlikely that Kendall will speak up. Kendall previously said she is not the type who will flaunt her private life to media.
"It's not always easy, but I don't know, I just like to keep my private life private," Kendall told ET Online.
"I try my best, but at the same time, I try not to let being out with someone affect my everyday life. Like, if I want to go out and grab a smoothie with a friend who's a male, I'm not gonna let the paparazzi stop me from doing that and living my life and just being a normal person. I try to keep things as private as I can, but when it comes to a point, it's just not a big deal," she added.
