In relationship news that should surprise no one, Kendall Jenner, a member of America's unofficial first family the Kardashians, is dating yet another basketballer.

But this one is a little different as the 22-year-old model's new chosen one, Ben Simmons, 21, of the Philadelphia 76ers, hails from Melbourne.

Page Six cites multiple unnamed sources who have allegedly spotted the pair out and about in Beverly Hills and New York, adding the relationship has been going on "for a few weeks".

Simmons, son of Dave Simmons, the former Melbourne Tigers NBL championship centre from the 1990s, has been creating quite a fuss in the NBA helping his team become the Cinderella story of the NBA.

After setting a string of records, the point guard from Dandenong is expected to win rookie of the year and is already being hailed as "the greatest Australian basketballer ever".
