Kendall Jenner has spoken out about her sexuality in the latest edition of Vogue US, and revealed how the birth of Stormi has brought her closer to sister Kylie.

Jenner, who appears on the April cover, addressed rumours about her being gay after they circulated on the internet.

Speaking to the magazine, the 22-year-old explained: “I think it’s because I’m not like all my other sisters, who are like ‘Here’s me and my boyfriend!’

“So it was a thing for a minute because no one ever saw me with a guy. I would always go that extra mile to be low-key with guys, sneaking around all the time.”

The model continued: “I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience — not against it whatsoever — but I’ve never been there before.

“I know I have kind of a... male energy? But I don’t want to say that wrong, because I’m not transgender or anything. But I have a tough energy.

“I’m not gay. I have literally nothing to hide. I would never hide something like that,” Jenner added.

Recently, there has been speculation that Jenner is dating Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin, although she doesn’t explicitly confirm the 'boyfriend' she refers to in the interview is the basketball star.

However, the reality star does admit: “I’m happy. He’s very nice. I have someone being very nice to me.”

Jenner also revealed that the birth of niece Stormi Webster has brought her “even closer” to sister Kylie, 20.

She explained: “It’s not that it’s more exciting than any other births in the family—it’s different exciting, because she’s my baby sister who I grew up with.

“So to see my best friend growing up have a baby? It’s already made us even closer."
