Love and basketball … and the “Kardashian curse.”
Kendall Jenner is trolling her athlete exes and poking fun at her family’s alleged dating curse in a new Super Bowl 2026 commercial.
In the ad for Fanatics Sportsbook, the supermodel, who previously dated several NBA stars, jokes that any basketball player who dates her “hits a rough patch.”
“Haven’t you heard? The internet says I’m cursed,” Jenner, 30, says as she throws a lit match into a bin of basketball jerseys and walks through a mansion full of photos with her exes heads scratched out.
“While the world has been talking about it, I’ve been betting on it,” she explains, adding, “How else do you think I could afford all of this? Modeling?”
She jokes that her first basketball boyfriend missed the playoffs, quipping, “I guess nobody was getting a ring in this house.”
She jokes her vintage convertible was funded by “boyfriend two [flopping] right out of the league.”
The 818 Tequila founder thanks “boyfriend three” for her “cute jet.”
“But today, it’s time to bet on something new … football players,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum says as she choses between the Super Bowl 2026 teams, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
“Kardashian curse? It’s not even my last name,” she jokes.
Kendall has famously dated several athletes over the years.
The runway model had a short-lived romance with New York Knicks star Jordan Clarkson, 33, in 2016. From 2017 to 2018, she dated now-retired NBA star Blake Griffin.
In May 2018, multiple sources told Page Six that Kendall was dating Ben Simmons, 29. The pair were on and off for one year before ending their relationship.
The athlete the Hulu star was most recently linked with was Devin Booker.
Kendall and the Phoenix Suns star, also 29, dated on and off from early 2020 to October 2022. In September 2024, the pair was spotted out together at dinner in Miami.
