Maluma has a crush on Kendall Jenner
Maluma is single and ready to mingle — with a member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
“Everybody knows that my celebrity crush is Kendall Jenner,” he told Access Hollywood earlier this week. “I’m going to say it again, she’s my crush!”
Maluma, 26, said he first met Jenner, 24, on the set of Calvin Klein’s “Deal With It” campaign, and he thinks “she could tell” he was crushing on her.
“We were shooting together, and then she saw me, and I got so nervous, that I’m sure that she noticed it, of course,” he said.
Maluma has been on the market since late 2019.
In October, Page Six exclusively reported that he and his longtime girlfriend, Natalia Barulích, broke up after two years together.
“I love Juan Luis (Maluma) very much but right now we need to take time for ourselves and our careers so that we can continue to grow as artists and individuals,” Barulích, 27, told us at the time.
Amid their split, Maluma was spotted hanging out with Winnie Harlow in New York. Then in January, he was seen kissing Russian model Vivien Rubin in Aspen, Colo., but a source told us the pair are “just friends.”
Maluma told Access Hollywood he is still single, saying, “I don’t feel like I want to have a relationship right now in my life. I’m too focused in what’s happening right now.”
However, the Colombian singer, who released a new Spanish love ballad on Thursday called “ADMV” — which stands for “Amor De Mi Vida” or “Love of My Life” — shared he does “dream” about settling down one day.
“I want to have a girlfriend. I wanna get married one day. I wanna have a family – that’s one of my biggest dreams in my life – but I think I’m too young for that,” Maluma said. “I just turned 26 years old, and I don’t feel like that’s what I want right now, and my career is just starting.”
He continued, “So, of course, one day I’m going to find the love of my life, I’m going to sing this song for her, whatever it is, on the guitar, and get old with that person, but right now, that’s not what I want.”
