Page Six sources claimed the Philadelphia 76ers player has been dating Jenner for weeks, saying the pair had been seen together twice in just the past week — once in New York and again having lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is at the centre of a media storm after he was pictured with a “mystery woman” in the carpark.

Photographs captured Simmons and a “mystery woman” in the carpark after having dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills on Monday night.

Witnesses said the woman “sure looked a lot like Kendall Jenner” but she was trying “like hell” to stay hidden, using her hoodie to cover her face.

After his initial Twitter tirade, Kachingwe followed up by saying: “Sorry for blowing up y’all twitter everyone. it was actually the only way to defend my sister against all this bulls … and i’m prolly gonna be fighting some n..... from philly for another couple hours so if y’all mute me don’t worry, it’s all good.”

Simmons, who moved to the US at age 16 to pursue his basketball career, was the first NBA draft pick for the 76ers in 2016. After missing his first season due to injury, he has had a stellar run and is favourite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year.

But dating a Jenner could be a risky move. The Kardashian-Jenner sisters have often joked about the family curse that men who have dated them have had serious falls from grace.
