Kendall Jenner Addresses Rumors About Her Sexuality

Setting the Record Straight

Kendall Jenner has spoken candidly about long‑running speculation surrounding her sexuality. Appearing on the Jan. 9 episode of the In Your Dreams podcast, the 30‑year‑old model directly addressed online rumors suggesting she is a closeted lesbian.

“Then there’s the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,” Jenner told host Owen Thiele. She admitted that what bothers her most is not the speculation itself, but the negativity surrounding it. “It’s not with, like, a welcoming arm of like, ‘Hey, if you were, yes, come join.’ It’s not kind. It’s very mean. It’s very like, ‘What the f— are you doing?’”

Openness About Identity

Jenner clarified that she does not identify as gay, but emphasized that she would be open about it if she did. “I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people,” she explained. “But knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I’d be out if I was. I’d have no problem being that.”

Her comments reflect both empathy for those navigating the challenges of coming out and confidence in her own self‑awareness. Jenner stressed that she would not hide her identity for personal or professional reasons.

Rejecting Harmful Narratives

The reality star also pushed back against claims that her sexuality is being concealed for business purposes. “I think that there’s this whole narrative that I’m hiding this thing … I’ve seen really f—— up things that are like, ‘It’s bad for business,’ and I’m like, ‘What? How? I don’t understand it.’”

Final Word

Jenner concluded by reiterating her position: “All’s to say, as of today, I am not. I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.”

Her remarks highlight the importance of rejecting harmful speculation and fostering a more respectful dialogue around identity. By addressing the rumors directly, Jenner underscored her commitment to authenticity while leaving space for openness and growth.
