Kendall Jenner has taken the opportunity to clarify long-standing speculation regarding her relationship with fellow model Cara Delevingne in the latest trailer for the eighth season of *The Kardashians*.

In the trailer, released on 17th September, Jenner addressed the speculation during a conversation with her parent, Caitlyn Jenner. When Caitlyn inquired about her daughter’s love life, Kendall responded candidly about the persistent gossip surrounding her friendship with Delevingne. “There’s definitely a rumour that Cara and I dated, which is not true,” she affirmed, clarifying the nature of their relationship.
Visuals from a L’Oreal fashion show underscored their close friendship, evoking humorous banter between the two models. During the confessional segment, Kendall remarked, “By the way, I have nothing against having sex with Cara,” eliciting laughter from Delevingne. She added playfully, “Never say never, right?” This light-hearted exchange showcased their camaraderie while simultaneously reaffirming that they are not romantically involved.
Currently, Kendall is romantically linked to actor Jacob Elordi, although there was no mention of him in the trailer. Like her sister Kylie Jenner, Kendall tends to maintain a level of privacy regarding her romantic endeavours on *The Kardashians*. Kylie has been in a relationship with Timothée Chalamet for three years, yet his name has also not been explicitly mentioned in the show.
In contrast, Kendall’s elder sister, Kim Kardashian, seems ready to hint at her evolving romantic situation this season. In response to Khloé’s probing question about her dating life, Kim playfully confessed, “Let me just say this: I can’t control myself,” suggesting that her love life may be a focal point in the upcoming episodes.
Khloé, on the other hand, expressed her own struggles with romance. Admitting to her single status, she mentioned in a confessional, “I might be ready to mingle,” reflecting on her decision to abstain from dating following her split from Tristan Thompson in 2022. The couple shares two children, daughter True and son Tatum, which adds another layer to Khloé’s journey as a single mother.
Kris Jenner, the family matriarch, took the opportunity to tease her own exciting romantic adventures, hinting that her dating life offers more thrills than that of her daughters. “Of course I’m getting more action than Khloé,” she cheekily noted, hinting at her long-term relationship with Corey Gamble, with whom she has been since 2014.
Season eight of *The Kardashians* promises to explore a “new chapter” for the renowned family, according to the official synopsis. The season will engage with themes of love, reinvention, and the future. “This season is all about love, reinvention and what comes next,” it states, indicating a balance between personal growth and familial bonds.
The Kardashians, who are renowned for their empire-building efforts, will navigate various elements of their lives, ranging from new relationships to the healing of past grievances. The synopsis notes that as the family embraces this new era, they will discover how love—be it self-love, familial affection, or new connections—stands as a formidable force in the journey of life.
Fans can anticipate the premiere of this new season on 8th October on Hulu, where they will witness how the star-studded family continues to evolve and redefine their lives.
