Kendall Jenner Turns Heads at the Olympics with Handsome Mystery Man – Who Is Fai Khadra?
Kendall Jenner‘s passion for athleticism extends from her decades-long equestrian experience to her many years dating NBA players. The 28-year-old loves attending sporting events of all kinds and is often spotted supporting LA teams in particular. The Olympics are in Jenner’s blood. One of her parents, Caitlyn Jenner, won gold as a decathlete at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

Unsurprisingly, the model combined her love of Paris with international competition when she attended the Summer Olympics with a gorgeous friend on August 1. Kendall watched Simone Biles win gold during the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s All-Around Final at Bercy Arena. Sitting with Palestinian model Fai Khadra, she watched the action while wearing a classic American sports fan look.

In addition to modeling for Balenciaga and Ralph Lauren, among others, Khadra is a singer and social media influencer known for his close friendships with several high-profile celebrities. Often seen with the Jenner sisters, the 32-year-old was born in Saudi Arabia and raised in Dubai. He has a significant social media following and frequently collaborates with fashion brands. Known for his impeccable style, he has become a fixture in the fashion world.
Despite frequent speculation, Kendall Jenner and Fai Khadra have maintained that they are just friends. Paparazzi often spot the duo jet-setting the world together and relaxing in LA. As they cheered on Team USA in Paris, Kendall supported Khadra’s partnership with Ralph Lauren by donning a retro-chic Americana look, as W reports.
Kendall Jenner’s Americana look
One of the world’s highest-paid models, Kendall wore a zip-up bomber jacket by Ralph Lauren. Patriotic patches covered the piece, which Team USA will also wear during the Olympics’ closing ceremonies on August 11. The 818 Tequila founder donned a complementary baseball hat and black sunglasses. She wore preppy “Adam” loafers by The Row as she entered and exited Bercy Arena with Khadra.
The U.S. gymnastics team has drawn a huge crowd for both Olympic competitions so far. In addition to Kendall and Khadra, celebrity attendees included Martha Stewart, Bill Gates, Bob Costas, Tony Hawk, Seth Rogen, Queen Mary of Denmark, and Mariska Hargitay. Several NBA players, past and present, also cheered on American gymnasts Biles and Suni Lee in the all-around. Devin Booker (Kendall’s ex-boyfriend), Stephen Curry, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, Tony Parker, and Kevin Durant all sat in the stands.
This isn’t the first time Kendall and Khadra have attended a high-profile sporting event together. In 2019, the pair watched the Men’s Finals at Wimbledon. Wearing classic blue button-ups, the models took in the show at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.
