Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker did not really split; they have decided to take some time apart to figure out the next steps in their lives and their burgeoning romance.
A source with ties to the Kardashians spoke to E! News on Wednesday and revealed after two years of dating, Booker and the model have gone their separate ways for now.
The duo is going through what seems to be an unconventional breakup, according to the family friend.
Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker recently took a trip to Italy to attend Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker‘s wedding.
Photos that emerged from the ceremony and family gatherings showed that Jenner and Booker were loved up and enjoying themselves.
However, upon their return to California, the lovebirds had a serious conversation that revealed that they were no longer on the same page.
After the tête-à-tête, the power couple concluded it was best to temporarily end things on good terms.
A person close to The Kardashians star told the entertainment website: “Kendall and Devin hit a rough patch recently and have been split for about a week and a half. They had a really nice time in Italy together during sister Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding festivities, but once they got back, they started to feel like they weren’t aligned and realized they have very different lifestyles.”
Kendall Jenner told Devin Booker that she “wanted space and time apart,” according to a close source.
As the Phoenix Suns shooting guard and the reality TV star take this time-out on the romance, they have taken the unconventional route of staying in contact to figure things out.
The person familiar with the situation stated: “They have been in touch since and do care about one another.”
The insider concluded with this titbit of information that might give hope that they will rekindle the romance in the future: “They both hope to make it work, but as of now, they are split.”
For a moment, it had seemed that Jenner had found the one. In August 2021, she traveled to her boyfriend’s hometown in Mississippi, where she met his grandmother and other family members.
Back in March 2022, Devin Booker spoke to the Wall Street Journal and said he was happy with Jenner and was not troubled by the spotlight.
He added: “I wouldn’t say hard. Honestly, I’m enjoying life to the fullest, and that came off my tongue so easily because it wasn’t always this way, but I feel like I’m in a good place right now. I love my family, I love the people around me, and I love the impact that I get to have on this world.”
Fans understood that the relationship was in trouble on June 12, which was the pair’s second anniversary, and they failed to celebrate or mark the occasion on social media as they did the year before.
