Though the celebrity split may come as a surprise to some, there were more than a few clues that hinted that the Hulu star’s relationship with the Latin superstar was on the rocks.

The couple began openly dating after sparking romance rumors earlier this year but were rarely seen together in public.
ABSENTEE BOYFRIEND
That trend continued throughout the length of Kendall, 28, and Bad Bunny’s relationship and seemed to amplify in recent months.
In November, the supermodel enjoyed a birthday trip with friends without her man by her side.
Several other attendees were joined by their partners, however.

The Kardashians star’s pal Lauren Perez posted photos of Kendall and other stars gathered at a vineyard for Hailey Bieber’s birthday.
The post was captioned: “The best ships are friendships,” and featured Kendall, Hailey, 26; and her husband Justin Bieber.

Bad Bunny, 29 — real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — was noticeably absent from the photos, which left some speculating that their romance is over.
“WHERE IS BAD BUNNY,” one fan wondered in the comments.
The sentiment was echoed several times by other concerned fans.
Another person wrote: “No Bad Bunny no like.”
CRYPTIC MESSAGE
Around the same time, Kendall shared a social media post that fans believe could hint at a breakup with Bad Bunny.
The picture was of either a sunset or a sunrise and there was a silhouette of trees and mountains in the frame.
Kendall captioned the photo: “What’s meant for me, will simply find me.”
In response, several fans shared the theory that the 818 Tequila founder shared a breakup post.
One person asked: “Did conejo malo hurt you??!” referring to Bad Bunny.
Others said: “Sounds like a breakup post,” and “D**n bro, who hurt you!!!”
More fans said: “She and Badbunny just broke up!” and “Break up vibes :(“
THIRST TRAPS
Also in November, Kendall took to her Instagram Story to share a carousel of photos that showed her frolicking in the snow in an itty bitty bikini, which she originally shared in January 2022.
The swimsuit barely covered her breasts and left little to the imagination elsewhere.

She paired the string bikini with a pair of sporty sunglasses and furry boots that stretched up to her knees.
In the photos, she smiled as she moved about an area covered in a blanket of fresh snow.
Her caption read: “Wim Hof said ice baths,” referencing a Dutch motivational speaker who suggests people partake in icy plunges for health reasons.
It’s unclear why Kendall decided to revisit the old post.
The reality TV star’s post made its way to Reddit, where commenters noted how odd it was that she would share such an old photo with no additional context.
One wrote: “This is an older post from her right? Why reshare it randomly, she’s so weird.”
Someone else speculated: “I feel like the constant thirst traps show she’s so over bad bunny and putting herself out there.”
Another agreed: “Yeah there’s just something extra off with this chick recently.”
A fourth commenter replied with: “I didn’t even know they broke up.”
Kendall also went topless in a sexy throwback pic posted on social media

Kendall left her long brunette locks down over her shoulders and wore nothing else.
The camera shot just the top half of her body, and the model used her arms to cover her bare chest.
The TV personality wore nothing else, gave a sultry look at the camera, and tilted her head to both sides.
She went makeup-free and pouted at the camera while standing in front of the mirror.
She held her phone toward the mirror and her makeup-free face pouted with no sound or captions added to the post.
BACK WITH BOOKER?
Before dating Bad Bunny, Kendall was involved in a roughly two-and-a-half-year relationship with NBA star Devin Booker, 27.
The pair officially called things off in October 2022.

Recently, an insider revealed that “some of [Kendall’s friends] are secretly hoping she gets back together with Devin again,” in an exclusive with US Weekly.
The source continued: “That’s who they feel suited her the best and who made her feel the happiest in their opinion.”
The insider also stated that those close to Kendall and Bad Bunny didn’t see a “huge spark between them or any long-term potential.”
Fans took to an online forum to speculate on a possible reconnection between the model and her basketball player ex.
One person theorized “Kendall and Devin are back together or in the process.”
The user continued with a bullet-point list of reasons why the celebs could be dating once more, writing: “She’s been nowhere to be seen with Bad Bunny for weeks.”
A second bullet point read: “The US Weekly article of her friends wishing them back together was to test out waters.”
They added: “Some of his friends are back following her and liking her posts and [the] same for her friends with his posts.”
The user also mentioned how “there have been rumors that they had a friends dinner all together recently in LA,” adding that they believed it could all be a soft relaunch.
KENDALL AND BUNNY
On March 8, 2023, the two were photographed sharing affection during a dinner date at Sushi Park in West Hollywood.
Previously, the pair stirred dating speculation when they were seen making out at a Los Angeles club by onlookers in February.
The two fueled romance rumors even further when just days later, they were caught making separate exits from The Bird Streets Club.
That night, it’s believed Kendall and Bad Bunny were on a double date with Justin and Hailey Bieber.
It was also previously reported that Kendall and Bad Bunny went on a number of double dates with the pair and were even photographed together at Coachella.
As the months went on, they were spotted at fashion events, dates, concerts, basketball games, and even did a Gucci campaign together.
“There’s no bad blood,” a source close to the A-list celebs told The Messenger, “They are even still in contact. Their relationship had been rocky due to their busy schedules.”
The insider also revealed that Kendall “felt the relationship ran its course.”
The news outlet claimed that the split occurred a few weeks ago.
FAN REACTION
Once the news of the split broke, fans rushed to share their mixed opinions on an internet forum dedicated to the Kardashians.
Several fans were skeptical of the legitimacy of the article, one writing: “I need a better source to believe this lol.”
“I like that she has fun and dates around, like handsome successful men, life’s too short not to,” another wrote.
A third wrote: “They’ll both be ok even if it’s true.”
“I’m not that surprised. Kendall has been giving single for a minute,” said a fourth.
A fifth admitted: “I probably like him best out of her confirmed long-term boyfriends.”
“This relationship is giving PR,” a sixth claimed.
