Kendall Jenner Explains Her Relationship With Justin Bieber

The Internet has been a-twittering for awhile now about a rumored relationship between Canadian pop export Justin Bieber and Kardashian klan outshoot slash model Kendall Jenner. She did debut her new lob on his Instagram. In the video, the two playfully amuse themselves with a coffee cup. (Oh, kids these days.) Since they spent time together in Ibiza and Paris this summer, the Internet and celebrity-following public decided it must be on.

Not true, Jenner said in a recent interview with Nightline. "He's a longtime friend of our family," Kendall demurred, because we always like to imagine young starlets demurring things. "Everybody loves to assume things, but no." She actually finds it pretty amusing that any time she's seen out with a male companion, "[I]t’s usually just a longtime friend.”

Are there any special someones in Kendall's life? Nope. She told Nightline that she's not currently in a relationship. "I'm truly focusing on my career," Jenner explained. "If it comes it comes." But, she will admit to having an affinity for the Internet's collective boyfriend. When asked about her celebrity crush, Jenner said, "I always go for, like, Ryan Gosling or something...but honestly, I can’t even really think of anybody else...let’s just say Ryan Gosling."

Looks like Justin Bieber will have to croon "Girlfriend" to someone else. (ABC News)
