Kendall Jenner has split from Ben Simmons after over a year of dating.
The supermodel, 23, and the Philadelpha 76ers basketball star, 22, were first linked in March 2018, but have now called time on their on-off relationship after the romance 'ran its course', Page Six reports.
An insider told PEOPLE the pair are officially 'on a break', and the catwalk queen is enjoying spending time with her friends in the wake of the break-up.
All over? Kendall Jenner, 23, and boyfriend, Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons, 22, have reportedly broken up (pictured together in February in NYC)
An insider said they are taking a break saying: 'She’s spending time with her friends and back to being in fun mode'
The source said: 'She’s spending time with her friends and back to being in fun mode.'
The split comes just days after the catwalk queen hinted a future engagement could be on the cards for the couple.
In the same interview, Kendall hinted she didn't know 'how long it will last' between the pair.
Speaking earlier this morning, she told VOGUE: 'I'm very young and right now I feel like relationships aren't always super-certain and I don't want to bring too much attention to something if you don't really know long term [what it's going to be].'
When asked about the possibility that she might get engaged soon, she replied, 'Maybe. Definitely not now, but maybe one day.'
Trouble ahead? The couple were first linked in March 2018, but Kendall recently said she doesn't know 'how long it will last'
As the interview went public, Ben was seen partying with friends at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, reports Page Six.
The sportsman and his entourage reportedly moved over to the strip club Scores later in the night.
Kendall appeared to be offering hints about the split the same night, as she posted moody tracks from Tyler the Creator's new album, IGOR.
She shared the track I Don't Love You Anymore from the break-up album, and also posted lyrics from the song Puppet to her Instagram Stories.
The song features the lyrics 'I wanna call you and talk.'
Sources said that Kendall's now ex-boyfriend had a 'tall, super sexy brunette' with the group, seemingly filling her role.
The basketball star reportedly turned away the topless dancers when they approached his VIP booth.
It's not yet clear what led to their break, though Kendall has been remarkably tight-lipped about her relationship.
The end? Ben's friends apparently mentioned that the celebrity couple had called it quits
There's always the possibility that the two are only on a temporary hiatus.
There weren't any obvious hints that Kendall was planning a break, based on her conduct when she sat down for the Vogue interview.
The dark-haired beauty FaceTimed Simmons before the interview started, and she even streamed one of his games while getting her hair and makeup done before the accompanying photo shoot.
Kendall's interview also gave some insight into her choice to keep her now-defunct relationship out of the spotlight.
'For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships, and I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier,' she said.
'I’m very young and right now I feel like relationships aren’t always super-certain and I don’t want to bring too much attention to something if you don’t really know long term [what it’s going to be],' she added.
'A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally. Like once everyone is let in, you’re letting all these opinions into your relationships, and I don’t think that’s fair.'
The reality star and the Australian basketball player went through ups and downs in their relationship, including a split late last year, during which Kendall was spotted making out with Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother Anwar Hadid.
She has previously been linked to Harry Styles, Jordan Clarkson and A$AP Rocky.
