Michael B. Jordan is opening up about his relationship with Kendall Jenner—and the skinny is—he doesn’t have one!
The Fantastic Four actor reportedly addressed the rumors that began to swirl about him dating the 19-year-old reality star, and the negative backlash that followed. It all began back in May, when the two were spotted leaving a Met Gala afterparty together. The sexy star insists they are just friends, and that they were merely hanging out that night.“Kendall’s a friend of mine, you know. I don’t know her, like, that well, but I know her enough,” he said in a recent magazine interview.

The Friday Night Lights alum is concentrating on his career right now and doesn’t want anything to get in the way of that. “I try and be focused. I told myself at a young age that I would sacrifice all my twenties to my work. I’m 28. I’ve got a year and a half left…I’m emotionally unavailable. Until I find something that’s so undeniable that I can’t help myself,” Michael tells the magazine.

Michael went on to elaborate that race was a major reason for much of controversy surrounding the possibility of the pair hooking up. “It’s the world we live in. They see white and black. I don’t,” he explained. "People’s perspective on that is what it is. I don’t f—ing know. I don’t live my life to make other people happy. It’s so weird, though, right? A lot of black fans were feeling like ‘Oh, my god, he should have been with a black woman’ and that whole thing.”
