Luka is a rising star in the world of male fashion, and he’s a regular fixture at social functions with models including Gigi and Bella Hadid.
Lately, he’s been seen spending time with Kendall Jenner, sparking speculation that the two might be dating, though a source tamped down those rumors Saturday in Us Weekly.
‘There’s nothing romantic going on with Kendall and Luka,’ they said.
‘They are purely friends and have been forever. Luka is still so close with Kendall and her family, even after his fling with Kourtney, and it’s because he’s such a fun, down to earth, cool guy.’

The source referenced Luka’s brief relationship with Kendall’s older half-sister Kourtney Kardashian, 40.
The two became an item in September 2018, shortly after she split from the Algerian-born boxer Younes Bendjima.
In October of that year, Luka sounded rather nonchalant about the relationship while speaking with Us Weekly.
‘It’s all public,’ he said. ‘It doesn’t even matter. There’s no such thing as privacy in 2018. … I’m chilling. I just mind my own business.’
Kourtney made it clear by February 2019 that the two were no longer dating.
