Ellen Grilled Kendall Jenner About Dating Ben Simmons

Philadelphia fans have seen Kendall Jenner sitting courtside at Sixers games for some time now. Heck, we've even seen her with Ben Simmons at a Drexel basketball game or ice skating at Dilworth Park in front of City Hall.

The dynamic duo are clearly an item but we haven't actually heard them speak about their relationship. Until now.

And that's thanks to the fantastic Ellen Degeneres who had Kendall on as a guest on her show and asked about her basketball-playing beau.

Ellen put a picture of Jenner up on the big screen with Simmons standing in front of her.

"Who is that guy in the way," Ellen asks.

"I'm not so sure," Jenner responds with a smirk.
