Some fans are under the assumption that Kendis Gibson is on vacation, however from Kendis’ social media, we can see that he is still in Manhattan, New York.

It is likely that Kendis is taking a holiday break in the city, although that has yet been confirmed by the anchor himself.

Over the past several weeks, Kendis has been active on both Twitter and Instagram suggesting all is well. He has also shared images from his dog Tito’s Instagram account. All recent images have been geo-tagged in New York.
