The shocking news comes after Jenneropened up about her romancewith the Philadelphia 76ers player toVogue, explaining whether or not the two have plans to tie the knot.
“Maybe. Definitely not now, but maybe one day,” Jenner said toVogueof her plans for marriage. “I got a glimpse of how my sisters dealt with [the attention] and it’s cool to learn from that,” she added.
The supermodel also revealed why she chooses to keep her relationship with Simmons private.
“For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships, and I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier,” the supermodel said.
“I’m very young and right now I feel like relationships aren’t always super-certain and I don’t want to bring too much attention to something if you don’t really know long term [what it’s going to be],” she toldVogue.
“A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally. Like once everyone is let in, you’re letting all these opinions into your relationships, and I don’t think that’s fair,” she said.
