Booker and Jenner were first linked in April 2020 after being spotted together on a road trip to Arizona. They later confirmed their relationship publicly on Valentine’s Day in February 2021. The pair briefly separated in June 2022 and have maintained an on-and-off relationship since, including recent social media interactions in January.

Their breakup was confirmed in December 2023, followed by reported reconciliations in 2024 before another split. The singer is now rumored to have reunited with former partner Gabriela Berlingeri.
