Kendall Jenner and her former partner Devin Booker have attracted fresh attention after exchanging playful comments on social media following Jenner's appearance in a Super Bowl advertisement.

The interaction followed the release of a Fanatics Sportsbook advert featuring Jenner, which made light-hearted reference to her dating history with professional athletes. Booker, who dated Jenner between 2020 and 2022, responded publicly in the comments section, prompting a brief exchange between the two.

Neither Jenner nor Booker has suggested the exchange reflected anything beyond humour, but the interaction was widely shared online, drawing renewed focus to their past relationship and the way celebrity exchanges are scrutinised on social platforms.

Super Bowl Ad Sparks Social Media Exchange

The exchange began after Jenner appeared in a Super Bowl commercial titled 'Bet on Kendall,' which referenced the idea that athletes she had dated experienced a dip in form. In the advert, Jenner joked that she was now backing football players instead, a remark that drew attention online.

Booker, 29, commented beneath a post about the advert on Instagram, making a light-hearted remark that referenced Jenner and a sporting rivalry. Jenner, 30, replied with an emoji and a brief comment acknowledging an ankle injury Booker had recently sustained while playing for the Phoenix Suns.

Booker responded again with a short remark, continuing the informal tone. The comments remained visible for several hours and were widely shared across other platforms.

Online Reaction and Public Commentary

The exchange prompted widespread reaction on social media, with users reposting screenshots and offering commentary on the interaction. Some interpreted the remarks as friendly teasing between former partners, while others viewed it as an example of how public figures engage with each other online.

Neither Jenner nor Booker issued a formal statement addressing the attention. Both have previously avoided detailed public discussion of their personal lives, particularly following the end of their relationship.

Background to Jenner and Booker's Relationship

Jenner and Booker were first linked in 2020 and confirmed their relationship later that year. They were seen together intermittently over the following two years, appearing at private events and on social media, while largely keeping their relationship out of the public spotlight.

The pair ended their relationship in 2022. At the time, sources cited differing priorities and schedules as contributing factors. Neither Jenner nor Booker spoke publicly about the split in detail.

Since then, both have continued their respective careers. Jenner remains active in modelling, television and business ventures, while Booker continues to play in the NBA and represent the Suns.

No Indication of Change in Relationship Status

Despite online speculation, there has been no indication from either party that the recent exchange reflects a change in their relationship. Representatives for Jenner declined to comment when approached by US media, and Booker has not addressed the interaction publicly.

The brief exchange has since faded from Jenner's social media accounts, although reposts continue to circulate. For now, the interaction appears to be limited to a moment of public humour following a high-profile advertising campaign.

The episode highlights how minor online interactions between well-known figures can quickly attract attention, particularly when linked to major media events such as the Super Bowl.
