Kendall Jenner is getting candid about her dating life, and her latest confession might be one of her most unexpected yet.

The 30-year-old supermodel joked that being a lesbian could make dating much easier, admitting that she's had her frustrations with men. The revelation came during the October 15 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, when Jenner reunited with her longtime friend, British model and actress Cara Delevingne.

During their conversation backstage at the L'Oréal Paris Fashion Week show, Jenner addressed years of speculation about her sexuality and rumors that she and Delevingne were once romantically involved.

And while she made it clear that she's not a lesbian, Jenner didn't hold back when discussing the possibility of dating women. "For the record, I think being a lesbian would be fun and amazing," she said, before joking that it might be easier because "men suck." 

Kendall Jenner Addresses Lesbian Rumors and Her Friendship With Cara Delevingne

Jenner and Delevingne have been close friends for more than a decade, frequently appearing together at fashion shows, parties, and celebrity events. Their friendship became so popular that fans gave the duo the nickname "CaKe," combining parts of their first names.

However, their closeness also sparked speculation that their relationship was more than platonic. During the latest episode of The Kardashians, Jenner decided it was time to address those rumors directly. "People think I'm a lesbian, to this day, because of our love for each other. I'm not," Jenner explained.

Delevingne supported her friend's statement, confirming that the rumors weren't true. Jenner also explained in a confessional that although she has never dated Delevingne, she wouldn't consider the idea of a relationship with her friend offensive or inappropriate.

The model described Delevingne as someone who made her feel safe and welcome when she was beginning her career in the fashion industry.

Their friendship, she emphasized, has always been genuine and supportive rather than romantic. 

Kendall Jenner Jokes About Sleeping With Cara Delevingne

The conversation became even more revealing when Jenner acknowledged that she wasn't completely opposed to exploring an experience with a woman. Although she said she had never felt a sexual desire toward women, she made it clear that she wasn't judging anyone else's choices.

At one point, Jenner jokingly suggested that Delevingne would be her choice if she ever decided to explore that possibility. "You're the only woman that I know would be nice to me," Jenner told her friend.

As the conversation continued, Jenner blamed some of her unusually candid remarks on the wine she had been drinking backstage.

The exchange was filmed in September 2025, meaning her comments were made months before reports of her romance with actor Jacob Elordi emerged in 2026. 

Kendall Jenner Previously Addressed Rumors About Her Sexuality

This isn't the first time Jenner has publicly discussed speculation about her sexual orientation. During a January 2026 appearance on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, she addressed online theories suggesting that she was secretly gay.

Jenner explained that what bothered her most wasn't the speculation itself but the hostility surrounding it. "What really bothers me is how mean people are about it," she said.

She also rejected suggestions that she was hiding her sexuality to protect her modeling career or public image.

Jenner explained that she understood how difficult coming out could be for many people, but believed she would have publicly acknowledged her sexuality if she were gay. "I'd have no problem being that," she said. She clarified that she didn't identify as gay while also expressing an openness to whatever experiences life might bring.

Despite joking that men make dating complicated, Jenner has reportedly found a new romantic connection. The supermodel has been linked to Euphoria and Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi since spring 2026.

Dating speculation intensified after they were seen together around Coachella in April and photographed during a Hawaii getaway in May.

They have also reportedly spent time with Jenner's younger sister, Kylie Jenner, and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, as well as Justin and Hailey Bieber.

The couple's reported romance has continued into the fall, with appearances in Europe during fashion month. Although Jenner and Elordi have been seen together repeatedly, the model has continued her usual approach of keeping intimate details about her relationship largely private.
