Kendall Jenner's first public outing has added more fuel to speculation that she and Bad Bunny may have already split.
The reality television star was spotted in Aspen, Colorado, marking her first public appearance since allegedly parting ways with the rapper. Rumors about the couple's break-up began following their last public appearance on October 29 in Beverly Hills, California.
Kendall Jenner Is Reportedly Tending To Her Broken Heart With The Help Of Some Friends
Even though she looked somber, a new report has claimed that Jenner is spending quality time with a few pals, including Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey. The friends were seen grabbing breakfast before they ventured onto the slopes together.
She paired a gray sweater with black bottoms, dark sunglasses, and brown Uggs, confidently embracing the spotlight as she strolled without the familiar presence of Bad Bunny by her side.
The former "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star bundled up in a navy puffer jacket and a black snowboarding helmet for her afternoon snowboarding session. While she was captured carrying a snowboard under one arm, the item was nowhere to be found later in the evening when she elevated her look for a dinner outing with Justin and Hailey at Catch Steakhouse.
Jenner donned a white maxi coat over a black turtleneck, matching pants, black boots, and a coordinating monochrome purse in hand. She enhanced her features even further with a subtle touch of blush and a cranberry lipstick shade.
Despite her time in Aspen, Colorado, for both work and leisure, neither she nor Bad Bunny have made any public comments about their break-up. However, according to Daily Mail, one insider did share:
"Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately, and things have slowly started to fizzle out between them. They both knew going into this that it likely wouldn't be a forever type of relationship, and that was mutually understood from the get-go."

Bad Bunny and Jenner first ignited romance rumors in February after being seen on a double date with the Biebers at a restaurant in Los Angeles. At the time, a source asserted that the duo was introduced by friends after the Puerto Rico musician's move to Los Angeles, stating, "Kendall recently started hanging out with him. She likes him and is having fun."
They intensified their efforts to maintain a bond through activities like horseback riding and public displays of affection at the 2023 Coachella. Bad Bunny and Jenner then extended their romantic journey with a summer retreat, drawing attention with a source noting, "They appear deeply in love and exceptionally committed."
Come September, they left an imprint at Milan Fashion Week, taking the front row at Gucci's spring/summer 2024 fashion show. Their debut in Gucci's fall show was reinforced by a significant presence in the fashion house's campaign, revealed on September 30.
Later in October, Bad Bunny opened up about investing time in improving his English communication skills for someone special. He explained:
"With some people, I speak English — with some specific people. With one of them, I couldn't talk to her before."
He doubled down on his affections for Jenner when he took a shot at her ex, Devin Booker, in a feature on Eladio Carrión's song "Coco Chanel" in March.
The 29-year-old had sung, "Yo no soy malo, nah, bebé, eso e' un gimmick / Pero el sol de PR calienta má' que el de Phoenix / Ella lo sabe," translating to, "I'm not bad, baby, that's a gimmick / But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows it."
Kendall Hinted At Trouble In Paradise With A Cryptic Social Media Message
By mid-November, fans assumed the relationship had run its course when Jenner uploaded an Instagram picture of the sunset and trees over a hilly landscape. While the scenic view caught people's eye, the accompanying cryptic caption interested them.
"What's meant for me will simply find me," she penned, prompting one observant fan to remark, "Sounds like a break up post," as The Blast reported. "Your soulmate is almost coming for you, girl ✨," a second Instagram user affirmed the 818 Tequila founder, as a curious onlooker asked, "Did conejo malo hurt you??!"
Notably, one comment referenced Jenner's 2019 mantra, pointing out, "We don't chase, we attract. Love this, Kendall!" At the same time, a fifth online citizen dubbed the post "break-up vibes." Yet another attempted to reassure other fans, declaring, "Badbunny just liked this relax."
