Australian basketball star Ben Simmons has celebrated the new year with supermodel girlfriend and Kardashian clan member Kendall Jenner at a star-studded Los Angeles party hosted by rapper Drake.
Simmons' Philadelphia 76ers are in the middle of a five-game cross-country road trip that began in Boston on Christmas Day and conveniently included a two-day stop in LA beginning on New Year's Eve.
Simmons' 76ers had Monday off and play the LA Clippers on Tuesday (2.30pm Wednesday AEDT).
Jenner flew back to LA from a vacation in Aspen, where she posed in a bikini in the snow and posted the shots on Instagram to her 100 million followers, to catch up with Simmons who landed with the 76ers after suffering a 34-point drubbing on Sunday to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Paparazzi first captured the couple at a Monday morning brunch at a cafe in West Hollywood.
Simmons, 22, and Jenner, 23, later celebrated the new year at Drake's party at the uber hot LA club Delilah.
Drake's guests included Simmons' NBA mentor LeBron James and celebrities Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kate Beckinsale, Mary J Blige, Chris Brown, Nas and Madison Beer.
