The Kardashian Curse may be put to rest with the newest supporter of Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons's romance. 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin is in complete support of the celebrities revived relationship because it seems to be beneficial for the basketball team.
Rubin expressed his seeming appreciation for the young Kardashian's interest in Simmons and the team in an interview with TMZ on Monday. "Thirteen and two since they've been dating," said Rubin in a quick comment to the celebrity source.
A petition, started by Sixers fans, circled the internet in January aiming to have Jenner banned from the Wells Fargo Center where the team plays. The petition noted the "Kardashian Curse," which is said to act as a jinx. The petition was started after Jenner attended a game and the team lost.

Rubin formerly denounced the petition in a conversation with Business Insider in January. "I think it's ridiculous," Rubin explained. "I think Kendall's awesome. I've spent a bunch of time with her. I was with Kendall a few days ago and Kendall insisted on going home and getting a good night's sleep when Ben wanted to stay out for a late dinner. So, Kendall's been a great influence on him, and we've won every game she's been at but one so far."
It's unclear if Simmons and Jenner are an exclusive couple or are officially back together, but Jenner has attended more than a handful of Sixers games this season. They first appeared to be a couple in mid 2018, but stopped appearing together around November. They seem to have reignited their relationship in January, according to People.
Jenner isn't the only Kardashian to come under fire for the family curse. An entire Vogue Australia article, published in July 2018, inquiries about a possible curse revolves around the mega famous sisters and their less-famous significant others. Jenner's sister, Kylie Jenner, addressed the curse head on in a conversation with GQ in August.
"That's exactly what it is. They come and can't handle it," Jenner explained of the family's extreme, public lifestyle. "It's everyone around us that aren't used to it. And we're just like, "Oh, that'll go away in a day." I know these stories aren't going to matter, so don't even let them affect you, you know? I think you're correct. But it's not just men—it's friends, it's people who come and just don't know how to handle it. It's the negative. There's a lot of people who love us, but there's also a huge handful of people who don't like us."
