Kehlani and Kyrie Irving are reportedly getting back together, as the Cleveland Cavalier took back the R&B singer months after cheating rumors reportedly drove her to a suicide attempt.
Even with the Cleveland Cavaliers opening up the NBA Finals on Thursday with a loss to the Golden State Warriors, much of the news earlier in the day was focused on Irving’s rekindled romance with the 21-year-old singer. There are reports that Irving has been trying to win her back after they split up several months ago, and Hollywood Life reported that there are signs they’re already back together.
The report cited an Instagram exchange that appeared to show Kylie and Kehlani sharing their feelings for each other.
“Word about a Kyrie/Kehlani reunion first got out when a screenshot of messages between Kyrie and a girl who supposedly knows Kehlani surfaced on Instagram. She wrote ‘I miss yall’ to Kyrie in reference to him and Kehlani, to which he replied ‘Yea she’s pretty awesome.’ As if that doesn’t hint that something is going on between them again, Kehlani chimed in on the messages too — she commented, ‘he awesome too,’ almost right after it was posted!”
It seemed far-fetched just a few months ago to imagine that Kehlani and Kyrie Irving would be getting back together. The relationship appeared to go down in flames after Kehlani’s ex, PartyNextDoor, posted a picture in late March that showed Kehlani in bed with him.
The post was only up for a short time before being deleted, but it was long enough to send Cleveland Cavaliers fans into a frenzy. Many lashed out at Kehlani, and from there the story took a nearly tragic turn.
Kehlani later tried to commit suicide, opening up about the attempt in an Instagram post . In the post, Kehlani claimed that she had never cheated and said the situation was a misunderstanding.
“I wanted to leave this Earth. Being completely selfish for once. Never thought I’d get to such a low point. But don’t believe the blogs you read. No one was cheated on and I’m not a bad person. Everyone is hurt and everyone is in a place of misunderstanding. But as of today, I had no wish to see tomorrow. But God saved me for a reason and for that…I must be grateful. Cuz I’m not in Heaven right now for a reason. On that note, bye Instagram.”
Not long after that, Kehlani posted another heartbreaking note saying that she and Kyrie Irving had broken up. In the note, Kehlani explained that she and Kyrie started dating after she went through a bad breakup with PartyNextDoor. The post also clarified a bit the picture from PartyNextDoor showing them in bed, as Kehlani explained that they got back together after her split from Kyrie Irving (with the angry backlash coming because they kept the split quiet, leading many to believe she was cheating on him).
Her post went on to explain that she and Kyrie were happy and remained on good terms. If the current reports of a reunion are true, then those may be on even better terms now.
If Kehlani and Kyrie Irving are getting back together, it may be a difficult time for the Cleveland Cavaliers guard. Their turbulent relationship has generated plenty of attention in the celebrity gossip world, just the kind of attention Irving would be trying to phase out as he focuses on leading his team to an NBA title in their rematch with the Warriors.
