Keeping up with the Kardashians gets way harder when you factor in their dating history.
Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner have all been spotted sitting up close at NBA, NFL, and soccer games. But they haven't just cheered on the players from the sidelines — they've also been romantically linked to several athletes.
The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner, is the only sister who hasn't been publicly linked to any pro athletes. However, she still showed her love of the game by sitting courtside at several New York Knicks games recently with her boyfriend, actor Timothee Chalamet.
We can't fully confirm the entire list of professional athletes the Kardashians have dated, as they haven't gone public with all of their leading men. For instance, Kim was recently linked to Tom Brady and even attended his Netflix roast in 2024. However, that relationship was never confirmed.
