Just as everyone learned to pronounce Younes Bendjima's name correctly, he and Kourtney Kardashian broke up. Don't feel bad for him, though. He's already seemingly moved on. Bendjima was pictured with model Jordan Ozuna, who was previously tied to Tyga and Justin Bieber.

TMZ first revealed pictures of Bendjima, 25, and Ozuna, 28, on Tuesday. In the photos, Bendjima had his arms wrapped around a bikini-clad Ozuna. The duo was spotted seemingly cozying up on lounge chairs as well. These photos surfaced shortly after Kardashian and Bendjima's breakup was announced.

Ozuna, a former Hooters waitress, was rumored to be dating Tyga in 2017 after the pair were spotted in Mexico together. The "Rack City" rapper was famously linked to Kardashian's younger sister Kylie Jenner. Before this, Ozuna reportedly dated Bieber—who was once rumored to be dating Kardashian— in 2013. At the time, she was allegedly still married to her high school sweetheart.

"She's still married. They've been separated a good year," Kim Ozuna, the model's then mother-in-law, told Celebuzz in 2013. "They were very young when they got married…They'll figure it out on their own. They're probably in the process of getting divorced."

Ozuna has denied developing a romantic relationship with Bendjima. In speaking with E! Online, she claimed she's not responsible for the male model's breakup with the 39-year-old PrettyLittleThing designer.

"Younes and I are not involved romantically at all," Ozuna told E! Online on Tuesday. "We were both invited to Mexico for a mutual friend's birthday party with 13 other people. It was nothing more than friends having fun at the beach. No, we aren't romantically involved in any way, shape or form."

Bendjima denied being with Ozuna as well. On Tuesday, he took to his Instagram story to suggest Hollywood is trying to make him the "bad guy." He then posted multiple photos from the trip that featured others in attendance. "I'm not attached to this 'life,' so you can't touch me. I know who I am, where I'm from and where I'm going, and that bothers you," Bendjima wrote. "Only one opinion matter, the one of my Lord."

Despite feuding with both Kim Kardashian West and Khloé Kardashian, her sisters came to her defense Tuesday. Kardashian West commented, "nice pics from your 'boys trip'" on The Shade Room's screenshot of Bendjima's Instagram story. The Good American designer, however, wrote: "Alexa play 'heard it all before' by Sunshine Anderson."

Kardashian and Bendjima's breakup was announced Tuesday. The former pair first revealed their relationship in December 2016. Their split comes after dating for nearly two years. Fans were quick to notice the pair had mutually unfollowed each other on Instagram Tuesday as well. Before parting ways, the ex-couple ventured to Italy for a romantic vacation in July and to the Colorado River for the model's birthday celebration in May.

The eldest Kardashian sister and Bendjima's relationship seemed to be heading for trouble ahead of their split. In late July, the male model seemingly took issue with a somewhat revealing bikini picture the reality star shared via Instagram. Kardashian captioned the post in question, which read, "don't be shady, be a lady." Bendjima took to the photo's comments section to write the since-deleted remark, "That's what you need to show to get likes?" Prior to this, Bendjima was accused of cheating on the Keeping Up With the Kardashian's star in April by the Daily Mail.

"Daily Mail, aka Daily Bulls**t, where are the 6 others mens [sic] I was with? What [are] you guys tryna do?" he wrote at the time via his Instagram story. "Nice cut tho, you piece of s**t."
