Kendall Jenner has reportedly followed in the footsteps of sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian by falling for a sportsman.

Kendall and 6’9” basketball player Chandler Parsons are thought to have met at the STK restaurant in LA recently, with New York’s Page Six reporting that the pair were “flirting throughout the meal”.

[related]And it seems romance has blossomed, because Kendall, 18, took 25-year-old Chandler - who recently signed a three-year $46 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks - home to meet mom.

An insider told MailOnline: “Mama Kris met Chandler a few weeks ago and was blown away by not only his good looks, but his promising B-ball future.”

On the other hand, some of Chandler’s friends are said to be worried about him getting involved with the Kardashian clan.

The source went on: “Everyone knows that when you date a Kardashian… you have to deal with Kris who is totally enmeshed in the lives of her kids. No matter how hot Kendall is, it’s not worth it.”

It was just a few days ago that Kendall - who has previously been linked to Harry Styles and Justin Bieber - was reported to be dating 5 Seconds Of Summer star Ashton Irwin.
