#Bendall is Apparently No More
I know, I know, “nObOdY CaReS AbOuT GoSsIp NeWs.”
“Who cares?” blah blah blah blah. “Crossing Broad is TMZ,” blah blah.
Everybody complains whenever I do something about #Bendall, completely failing to realize that 99.9% of it is sarcasm and/or satire. The other 0.1% of it is the fact that the Sixers’ All-Star point guard was dating one of the top-five most famous women in the entire world, which, you know, may or may not affect how he performs on the court. Plus, the Sixers played well with Kenny in attendance and she bought in to the city and the team while she was here, so fuck all y’all who wanted to talk trash about her. She even went to the Cherry Hill shopping center to look for vacuum cleaners.
Anyway, the split is officially official, I think, according to Page Six, after the jump:
Sources said that at the same time a new Australia Vogue cover story dropped — quoting supermodel Jenner saying of potentially marrying Simmons, “Maybe. Definitely not now, but maybe one day” — Simmons was partying solo in Atlantic City, NJ, with pals.
Simmons was spotted with friends at Kuro at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino celebrating a pal’s birthday.
We hear that the group later turned up at Scores, and that there was buzz among Ben’s entourage that he and Jenner called it quits last week.
Another source familiar with the couple said they have broken up.
Adding fuel to the rumors, Jenner was posting some cryptic Instagram Story posts the same night — including the new Tyler, the Creator tune, “I Don’t Love You Anymore” as well as lyrics to another of the rapper’s songs, “Puppet,” which includes the line: “I wanna call you and talk.”
Well there ya go. If Page Six says it’s true, then it must be true. We’ve also got asshole Terez Owens going around saying “I told you so.”
RIP #Bendall gonna cry now

On a more serious note, Ben is playing for Australia in the 2019 FIBA World Cup, which begins in late August. Jonah Bolden is also on the squad, along with:

Very interested to see how coach Andrej Lemanis uses him.
