Kendall Jenner made headlines for toying with the idea of starting a family with her friend Fai Khadra. The Instagram caption was likely a joke: The model shared a photo of herself and Khadra with Kim Kardashian’s kids Psalm and Saint West. But it got her family and friends’ support and put the spotlight back on Khadra and Jenner’s relationship and whether or not it could ever become romantic.
In October, TMZ spotted the pair together weeks after she took him to Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin’s wedding. Plus, Khadra’s history with the Kardashian-Jenners suggests he’s dated in her circle before. Below, a few things to know about her perennial plus one.
Kendall playfully posted about having kids with him
Over the weekend, Jenner posted photos with Khadra alongside two of her nephews with the caption “everyone in favor of Fai and i starting a family say “I” ✋🏼.” Among those to show support for Jenner and Khadra? Family members including Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Kim Kardashian alongside celeb friends such as Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid. For now, Khadra has yet to formally weigh in.
However, they’re probably not dating
Before fans got any ideas about Jenner and Khadra as a potential couple, she posted a disclaimer alongside their selfie at Biebers’ nuptials captioned, “”We don’t date he’s just my date.” But that didn’t stop people from speculating about the nature of their Santa Monica outing.
Jenner is single again following her May breakup with NBA player Ben Simmons after a year of dating. But if she was dating the fellow model, chances are she wouldn’t confirm it. In February, she told Baldwin during the Zaza World Radio Show that she prefers to keep her personal life private.
“I know when I’m off it, and I get off it really easy,” she said. “But it’s not just for no reason. Someone has to do something to make me off it. I think that especially because of the lifestyle that I live, everything is so magnified and everyone wants to know things, especially about your love life. A lot of the relationships that I’m in, I’m in it, and I’m in it with that one person and I’m a very loyal person once I’m fully in it.”
…but he makes for a popular plus one
Jenner and Khadra have spent a significant amount of time together. Last Halloween, they dressed as a Fembot and Austin Powers, posing for pictures on her IG. The pair also attended Coachella with a group. In July, they sat court side at Wimbledon and were spotted boating on her Instagram Stories.
Khadra has actually been linked to high-profile love interests including Devon Windsor, Kourtney Kardashian, and Jordyn Woods after sightings with each…

He’s a Kardashian regular
Khadra has spent time with multiple people in the KarJenner orbit. Back in July 2017, he was seen holding hands with Jordyn Woods in New York City. She also made an appearance on his Instagram feed in April 2018. Last year, Khadra was also linked to Kourtney Kardashian soon after her breakup with Younes Bendjima, with fans noting the resemblance between the two men. Whether true or not, these rumors could impact a potential romance between Jenner and Khadra.
He’s the brother of a known DJ-duo
He also shares a connection to a few other familiar faces. Khadra is the brother of Sama and Haya, who comprise the DJ duo SIMIHAZE. They count Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Selena Gomez among their circle of celebrity friends.
He’s a model and musician
As for Khadra’s career, he’s also a DJ and has a SoundCloud. His ties to the modeling world make sense, since he’s also a model and influencer himself.
