Kendall Jenner appears in his very first Super Bowl commercial — and makes fun of his love life in the process.
The 30-year-old model stars in a new Fanatics Sportsbook ad in which she playfully mocks the belief that NBA players who date her become bad at their sport.
“Haven’t you heard? The Internet says I’m cursed,” Jenner begins in the TV spot, which debuted online on Tuesday, January 27. “Any basketball player that dates me is going through a tough time.”
THE The Kardashians The star goes on to joke that his wealth comes from successful sports betting.
“How else do you think I can afford all this? Modeling?” she jokes as she descends a staircase lined with paintings of her with unidentified basketball players (whose faces have been torn from the artwork).
“This pool? Basketball Boyfriend 1 missed the playoffs. I guess no one had a ring in this house,” she says while floating on a raft.
Later, she shows off a classic car and claims to have bought it after betting on another lover.
“Do you like this bad boy? Boyfriend 2 was a failure right out of the league. Even though I never drove it,” she jokes.
