<p id=”par-3_19″>“There’s the whole side of the internet that thinks I’m a lesbian,” Jenner old Thiele during their hour-long chat. </p>
<p id=”par-4_47″>“You want to know what really bothers me? How mean people are about it. It’s not with, like, a welcoming arm of like, ‘Hey, if you were, yes, come join.’ It’s not kind. It’s very mean. It’s very like, ‘What the f*ck are you doing?’” she said.</p>
<p id=”par-5_16″>Jenner, 30, went on to say that if she was LGBTQ+, she would not hide it. </p>
<p id=”par-6_52″>“I understand that coming out is not an easy thing for anybody, if not most people,” she said. “And I’m not saying that’s an easy thing, but knowing, and I can speak for myself here, and knowing myself, I think at this point in my life I’d be out if I was.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_34″>“I’m not saying it’s an easy thing,” she added. “I’m just saying that knowing me and knowing how I would want to live my life, I would be. I’d have no problem being that.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_22″>The model went on to address “this whole narrative” that she was hiding her sexuality because it would be “bad for business.” </p>
<p id=”par-9_11″>“I’m like, ‘What? How?’ … I don’t understand it,” she said. </p>
<p id=”par-10_27″>“All’s to say, as of today, I am not,” Jenner continued, laughing. “I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_12″>“Truly, if you knew me, I have zero to hide,” she added. </p>

<p id=”par-12_43″>Despite her reality TV fame, Jenner typically keeps her romantic relationships relatively private, In the past, she’s been linked to NBA stars Ben Simmons and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/devin-booker-spotted-with-kendall-jenner-again-how-many-times-have-they-broken-up-and-reconciled.html/”>Devin Booker</a> and musical artists Harry Styles and Bad Bunny. But she’s not prioritizing romance at the moment. </p>
<p id=”par-13_110″>“I’m actually super in a ‘me era’ right now. And I know that might sound corny … I felt like in my 20s I was in a few long-term, consistent relationships, not right after each other but near each other. So I never really had my 20s to myself,” she shared. “So when I turned 29 I made a minor commitment to myself where I was like, ‘I’m not going to reject anything. I’m going to stay open to anything that feels like it would suit me.’ But I really wanted to have ‘me year’ where I chose myself … I want to do what I want to do do.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_25″>Jenner went to describe herself as a “great girlfriend” who tended to put her partner before herself. Now, her goal is to focus on herself. </p>
<p id=”par-15_32″>“When I turned 29, I was like, ‘I really want to put myself first,’” she said. “So that’s where I’m at … I really wanted to fall in love with myself again.” </p>
