They’ve remained in touch over the years despite each dating other people. They have a ton of mutual respect for one another but there’s nothing going on in terms of a romance at this point.”
“They’re both newly single and it’s just not where Kendall’s head is at,” the source continued. “She loves spending time with Harry and they have a lot of fun, but things are totally platonic between them. She’s not in a position to jump into another committed relationship anytime soon.”
