Sixers star swingman Ben Simmons and his girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, are one of the biggest sports couples out right now, but they have the disadvantage of being so far apart geographically, which can make it tough to see each other, given their schedules.
The two have been in a long-term relationship, with Simmons being in Philly, and Jenner (as well as the entire Kardashian clan) being in LA. Simmons spent a good chunk of the offseason working out, training and hanging out with Jenner in LA during the summer, and he seemed to really enjoy himself.
And now Jenner is apparently trying to get him to come out there for the long haul, possibly to play for the Lakers or Clippers in LA, according to Jason McIntyre, who appeared on Scoop B’s podcast and said the following:
“We know dating back to before the draft, Ben Simmons loves LA. Dating Kendall Jenner, loves it out here, he’s on that same agency that LeBron is repped by, Klutch [Sports].”
McIntyre went on to say that Simmons and teammate Joel Embiid don’t really hang out off the court, but we don’t see that as a huge issue, as LeBron James seems to do his own thing on the Lakers, rather than clubbing it up with his cohorts.
Simmons will still have two years remaining on his deal after this season ends, and unless the Sixers make a huge splash for a swingman in free agency — which is highly unlikely — we don’t see him going anywhere. The team would be wise to let him play out his rookie deal, whether he wants to be there or not.
Keep wishing, Kendall.
