Kendall Jenner Opens Up About How She ‘Loves Really Hard’ Amid Private Bad Bunny Romance
Just days after videos surfaced of Kendall Jenner kissing her boyfriend Bad Bunny at a Drake concert, the model spoke about how she privately handles her romantic relationships to Harper’s Bazaar. Jenner chose not to speak about Bunny specifically but gave striking detail about how she approaches love.
“I love really hard, and I love without apology,” Jenner said. “I don’t like goodbyes, and I will fight to not have to say goodbye. I will always fight for relationships. I’ve been that way since I was little, although I was shy and sometimes very closed off. I don’t give up on anything. Some people aren’t willing to meet me at that level. But that’s okay. I’d rather do that than shut myself off to something and not give it a proper chance.”
Jenner said that as she approaches her 30s, “My affection for people and my empathy has only grown. My favorite part of getting older is the wisdom and knowledge.”
Jenner and Bunny were first romantically linked in February this year. After telling WSJ magazine in a June interview that she had “no comment” about Bunny, Jenner explained why she still chooses not to talk about that part of her life to the press.
“I try [to] find the balance of keeping things private and keeping things sacred, [and] also not letting the unfortunate frustration and stress of everyone trying to get in on it stop me from enjoying my side,” she said. “Does that make sense? I’ll go out of my way to do things as privately as possible because I just think that that’s the healthier way of dealing with relationships anyway.”
