Ah, the time has come to indulge in the ever-popular pastime: assuming a man and a woman are dating just because they appear in a photo together.
Recently, Devin Booker has ignited dating rumors with Olympic gymnast Sunisa “Suni” Lee—who has earned medals for Team USA in both the 2024 and 2020 Olympics—after sharing a picture of the two in Paris on his Instagram, @dbook, accompanied by the goat emoji. Lee then reposted the story on her own Instagram, @sunisalee.
Devin Booker is well-known as a shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns and a key player on the USA 5X5 Men’s National Team in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
He was also part of the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Fans quickly took to social media to speculate on a possible relationship between Booker and Lee.
Who is Devin Booker dating?
Booker has had a very public on-and-off relationship with model and media personality Kendall Jenner.
According to People, the two reportedly tried to rekindle their relationship in February 2024 after breaking up in November 2022. This happened shortly after Jenner’s breakup with Bad Bunny on Dec. 17, 2023.
However, it seems their romance didn’t continue, as Jenner and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny appear to have reconciled. In January 2024, Booker was also linked to influencer and model Christina Nadin.
Whether their relationship has ended or is still ongoing is unclear, especially since Nadin has been spending time in Europe, according to photos she posted on her Instagram, @christinanadin. It’s uncertain whether her travels are related to Booker.
Regarding the photo of Suni Lee and Devin Booker, it seems likely that the two Olympians are simply showing support for one another.
Booker, along with other Team USA basketball players, has been attending the women’s gymnastics events. The goat emoji Booker used was probably just a way to cheer Lee on.
As of August 2024, there are no reports of Booker being married.
Booker and Nadin were rumored to be together in January 2024, and internet sleuths claim that a photo she posted on Feb. 20, 2024, was taken in Booker’s bathroom.
The status of their relationship remains uncertain, especially since Booker was linked to Jenner around the same time.
Nadin has recently been in Europe, but it’s not confirmed if she is there to see Booker, who is currently in the 2024 Olympics.
Booker and Jenner appear to be over again, as Jenner reconciled with her ex, Bad Bunny, on May 30, 2024. They have been spotted on several dates in Puerto Rico and Paris as recently as June 2024, according to Elle.
Booker was born on Oct. 30, 1996, making him 27 years old as of August 2024. While, Lee was born on March 9, 2003, making her 21 years old as of August 2024.
Lee previously dated USC football player Jaylin Smith. They were featured in several photos and videos together toward the end of 2021, but these have since been deleted following backlash from some in the Hmong American community due to their interracial relationship.
Lee has kept her personal life private since then, and there have been no updates on whether she and Smith are still together.
