An alleged photo of Jayson Tatum and Kendall Jenner on horse recently went viral. We explore its origin and whether it’s legitimate.
Jayson Tatum is one of the NBA‘s biggest stars. The 25-year-old forward made the NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics last year, losing to eventual NBA champions the Golden State Warriors.
Kendall Jenner, meanwhile, is one of the most famous models and social media personalities in the world. She is also pretty well-known in NBA circles for once dating Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker.
However, a recent alleged photo showing Jayson Tatum and Kendall Jenner started doing the rounds of social media prompting a wave of curiosity.
Photo of Jayson Tatum and Kendall Jenner on horse goes viral
On Twitter recently, a supposed photo of Kendall Jenner and Jayson Tatum riding on horseback together went viral. One account post the alleged image with the caption: ‘Jayson Tatum and Kendall Jenner were seen on horseback together this morning’.
The photo shows Kendall riding at the front of the horse appearing to take a selfie with Jayson supposedly riding behind:
The photo of Kendall Jenner and Jayson Tatum together is not accurate
The post was seen over 1.2 million times. However, the photo is not accurate. For a start, Jenner’s legs are longer than the person in the photo. Jayson Tatum is 6ft 8in so it’s clearly not him. The account that posted the photo is infamous in NBA circles for posting parody content.
It is a self described satirical account that looks legitimate but still manages to dupe millions of people with its made up content.
Recently they (falsely) claimed that Jalen Rose had been fired from ESPN, for example.
The real photo is actually of Kendall with Bad Bunny
The photo is real, it’s just not Jayson Tatum. According to multiple outlets the person in the photo with Jenner is rapper Bad Bunny.
According to TMZ, the supermodel rapper cozied up while enjoying a horseback ride at the Hidden Hills Equestrian Center in California.
