All the NBA Players the Kardashian-Jenner Family Have Dated: Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, Devin Booker and More

Love and basketball! The Kardashian-Jenner sisters have a long history of high-profile relationships, many of which involve NBA players. Khloé Kardashian has almost exclusively romanced athletes, marrying basketball star Lamar Odom in 2009 before splitting four years later. She had an on-off relationship with her daughter True's father, Tristan Thompson, but their romance ended again in June 2021. Little sister Kendall Jenner is also a fan of NBA stars, including Devin Booker, who she started seeing in 2020. Kim Kardashian might have married rapper Kanye West, whom she split from in February 2021 after six years of marriage, but she also had a whirlwind romance with baller Kris Humphries. Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, for their part, have dated musicians, rappers and models over the years. As of June 2021, neither the youngest nor the eldest Kardashian-Jenner sibling had a public relationship with a basketball player. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars are no strangers to scrutiny over their love lives, no matter who they are linked to. In fact, Kendall has clapped back at trolls judging her choice in men on more than one occasion. [jwplayer G0LAEvRG-l3ahXupL] In July 2019, she fired back on Twitter after seeing a viral meme that insinuated that she dated a whole starting NBA lineup. “This is a playoff team lmao,” a social media user captioned an image that was titled, “Starting 5 of NBA Players Kendall Jenner Dated.” The model was quick to correct the user, tweeting, “2 out of 5 accurate, thanks.” One year later, Kendall, again took to social media to shut down haters who poked fun at her relationship history via TikTok. “Nba players passing around Kendall Jenner,” one user captioned a video of three men playfully tossing a little girl in a circle in April 2020. “Maybe she passing them around,” a second user replied. The TV personality quipped: “They act like I’m not in full control of where I throw this cooch.” Scroll down to see which NBA players have been linked to the Kardashian-Jenner sisters: [podcast_block]

Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

The Revenge Body host began dating the NBA player in August 2016 after meeting through Khloé’s BFF Malika Haqq. Us broke the news in September 2017 that the couple were expecting their first child together. Days before her due date in April 2018, Thompson was caught cheating with multiple women, but the pair remained united. In February 2019, the couple split after the basketball player cheated on Khloé with Kylie's former friend Jordyn Woods. Us exclusively confirmed in August 2020 that the duo were back together and talking about more kids. “Khloé would love to give daughter True a sibling because she is at the perfect age,” the insider said at the time.

However, the reconciliation ended less than a year later in June 2021. “They remain amicable toward each other and will continue to coparent,” an insider told Us at the time. “There was no drama that broke them up, things just didn’t work out between the two of them.” 

Rumors began to swirl in August 2021 that their romance was back on. Four months later, it was revealed that model Maralee Nichols was suing Thompson for child support, claiming that she got pregnant after hooking up with the athlete that March while he was dating Kardashian. Us exclusively confirmed that Nichols gave birth to son Theo In January — one month before Thompson confirmed that he is the father.

In July 2022, Us reported that Kardashian and Thompson were expecting baby No. 2 via surrogate, who was already pregnant when the reality star found out about Thompson and Nichols' affair. 

“We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November,” a rep for the Hulu personality said in a statement at the time. “Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family.” 

The following month, the pair welcomed their second child. “Both baby and mother are very happy and healthy,” a source told Us. “Khloé is so thrilled to expand her family.”

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker

Us confirmed in June 2020 that the model and the Phoenix Suns player were “hooking up” casually after sparking romance rumors in April during a road trip together. The lovebirds made their relationship Instagram official on Valentine’s Day in February 2021.

After more than one year of dating, the model cheered on Booker while he was playing in the Tokyo Olympics. After the United States Men’s Basketball team won their championship match, she snapped a photo of the game — in which he played 22 minutes — via her television and posted it onto her Instagram Story in August 2021. She also added a gold medal emoji to the picture.

Weeks later, after Booker’s return to the U.S., the couple enjoyed some R&R on a couple’s trip. There, the basketball player posted photos via Instagram of the Kendall+ Kylie designer sipping on a beer while wearing a green bikini and his gold medal.

In June 2022, Us confirmed that the duo split after two years together. They're “taking this time to focus on themselves and figure out if a future together is what’s mean to be," an insider explained. They were back together by August 2022. "Kendall and Devin are 100 percent back together," a source told Us exclusively. "They spent some time apart but are back to a good place and are really happy with each other."

By November 2022, the pair had split again. "Things are amicable after the breakup, there's no bad blood between them," a source told Us at the time.
