Tyga and I became best friends before dating: Kylie Jenner

Reality TV star-model Kylie Jenner says she and boyfriend Tyga became "best friends" before they started dating each other.

The 18-year-old star and her rapper boyfriend, who were recently rumoured to have split, have known each other for a number of years, and Jenner said they were happy being friends before their relationship took a romantic turn, reported Female First.

"We just honestly... We became best friends before anything happened so I think that, that's awesome and we're just like ... I don't know. Hanging out. Living life."

She also rubbished speculation that she and the 26-year-old hip-hop star are no longer an item.
 

Jenner told "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", "No. We're not broken up."

This comes shortly after a source close to the celebrity couple claimed their relationship is "shaky".
