Did NBA star Ben Simmons ditch girlfriend Tinashe to be with Kendall Jenner?

Another day, another Kardashian- Jenner dating a basketball player. But there’s a twist to Kendall Jenner’s new romance with Philadelphia 76ers rookie Ben Simmons: He was dating singer Tinashe when he met Kendall and, according to Tinashe’s younger brother, Kudzai Kachingwe, Ben cheated on Tinashe with the reality star. “u cheat on her w a Jenner,” Kudzai tweeted on May 29, soon after news broke that Ben, 21, was dating Kendall, 22. Kudzai alleged that the NBA star broke up with the “2 On” singer, 25, on May 27, but he’s reportedly been seeing Kendall for weeks. “No f---ing excuse for cheating,” Kudzai added. For Kendall, her new 6-foot-10 Australian-born boyfriend is a quick rebound from Blake Griffin, who cooled off with Kendall after he was traded from the LA Clippers to the Detroit Pistons in February. Ben has been spending much of his offseason time in LA, where he was spotted leaving a nightclub with Kendall on May 30. And he’s clearly trying to move on: He recently deleted all photos with Tinashe from his Instagram.
