KENDALL Jenner is denying rumours that she’s gay as she hints about dating NBA star Blake Griffin.

“I think it’s because I’m not like all my other sisters, who are, like, ‘Here’s me and my boyfriend!’” Jenner responded when Vogueasked why the internet seems to think she’s gay. “So it was a thing for a minute because no one ever saw me with a guy. I would always go that extra mile to be low-key with guys, sneaking around all the time. You don’t want to, like, look crazy.”

TheNew York Post reported that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star also said her “male energy” might give fuel to the rumour mill.

“I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience — not against it whatsoever — but I’ve never been there before,” she continued. “Also, I know I have kind of a … male energy? But I don’t want to say that wrong, because I’m not transgender or anything. I have a tough energy. I move differently.”

Jenner’s father, Caitlyn Jenner, came out as transgender in 2015.

“But to answer your question: I’m not gay. I have literally nothing to hide,” she declared. “I would never hide something like that.”

The 22-year-old played coy about boyfriend Blake Griffin.

“I’m happy. He’s very nice,” she said — without naming names — when asked if she has a boyfriend. “I have someone being very nice to me.”

Jenner doesn’t seem as thrilled as her father about having a Republican in the White House.

She said Donald Trump causes her anxiety.

“It’s very unmotivating. There are things happening that are just so ... horrible ... that it makes you not want to participate in anything. I’ve had days lately where I just want to sit in my bed and do nothing. It makes you scared to go out. It’s a complete nightmare. And I wish I had the power to fix it all,” she said.

Jenner said that she is always excited to become an aunty again but the arrival of sister, Kylie’s daughter Stormi Webster, is particularly special.

“It’s not that it’s more exciting than any other births in the family — it’s different exciting, because she’s my baby sister who I grew up with. We all grew up in twos: Kourtney and Kim grew up together; Rob and Khloé; Brandon and Brody; Burton and Casey, and then Kylie and I. So to see my best friend growing up have a baby? It’s already made us even closer,” she said.
