Kendall Jenner is having fun with one of the internet’s favorite jokes about her, and she is doing it on one of the biggest stages in the world. The supermodel appears in her very first Super Bowl commercial, where she openly laughs at the famous “Kardashian dating curse.”
The ad is for Fanatics Sportsbook, and it shows Kendall living a very rich and stylish life inside a huge mansion. There are expensive paintings, a luxury swimming pool, classic cars, and even a private jet. But instead of crediting her success to modeling, Kendall jokes that her money comes from betting on the poor performance of her ex-boyfriends.
“Haven’t you heard? The internet says I’m cursed,” she says with a smile. She then adds that any basketball player who dates her seems to struggle in their career. According to Kendall, she simply turns that rumor into profit.
As she walks through her mansion, viewers see paintings of her with former boyfriends, but their faces are ripped out, making the moment even funnier. While relaxing in her pool, she jokes that it was paid for after “basketball boyfriend one missed the playoffs.” Later, she shows off a vintage car and says it came from betting on “boyfriend two” who flopped out of the league.
The funniest moment comes when Kendall boards her private jet and laughs, “Thanks, boyfriend three.” She ends the commercial by raising a glass of champagne and saying, “Kardashian curse. That’s not even my last name.”
The ad is part of a larger Super Bowl campaign that lets fans follow Kendall’s betting picks using the Fanatics Sportsbook app. She will share her prediction for the big game, giving fans a chance to place the same bet and join in on the fun.
Of course, the joke did not come out of nowhere. Over the years, Kendall has been linked to several NBA stars, including Devin Booker, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Jordan Clarkson, Kyle Kuzma, and D’Angelo Russell. Fans noticed that some of these players seemed to struggle on the court during or after their relationships with her, which quickly turned into a viral internet theory.
Even her family has teased her about it. On their reality show, Kim Kardashian once wore a shirt that read “Kendall Starting Five,” showing photos of some of Kendall’s rumored exes. The moment went viral and added more fuel to the joke.
Instead of getting annoyed, Kendall chose to embrace it. By turning a long-running rumor into a playful and funny commercial, she showed her relaxed attitude and great sense of humor. Fans loved seeing her laugh at herself, and many praised the ad for being clever and entertaining.
With this Super Bowl debut, Kendall proves that sometimes the best way to handle online gossip is to own it, joke about it, and turn it into something fun that everyone can enjoy.
