Is Kendall Jenner Dating Lakers Star D'Angelo Russell?

Is there really a romance brewing between Kendall Jenner and Lakers star D'Angelo Russell? Reports say that the 20-year old fashion model was seen at the Courtside watching the Lakers game over the weekend, which fueled rumors that she has been dating Russell and she was there in support for the rookie star.

Though the dating rumors are not confirmed by either of the involved names, reports say that Jenner and Russell first met last summer, however, only just recently that they've come up to a decision on taking their relationship on the next phase, adding that the two are already "official".

Adding more fuel to Kendall's new rumored love interest, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star, who just turned 20 on Tuesday, was also previously spotted during the Lakers sideline last October 27. 

Kobe Bryant, Russel's teammate in the Lakers, has also been reportedly teasing Russel over his rumored relationship with Kendall, saying that his friend has already reached Hollywood.

While Kobe seems happy for Russell, reports say that the star player still gives him half meant jokes, saying that he should better focus more on his career as a basketball player rather than becoming a reality TV star.

Following the Jenner-Russell dating rumors, which immediately made headlines on social media, some sources were quick to deny the speculations. With one source even quoted to TMZ, saying "They're not dating," adding that "Kendall is not into him.", told by another source.

This is not the first time that the Jenner-Kardashian clan got involved with the NBA as Kendall's older half sisters Kim Kardashian and Khloe have also had their previous relationships with NBA players. Kim Kardashian was married to Kris Humphries back in 2011 and Khloe to Lamar Odom in 2009.

Kendall Jenner will be walking in this year's Victoria's Secret fashion show along with Lily Aldridge and her best friend, Gigi Hadid. Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs December 8 on CBS.
