the moment gwen opened up a portal to the past and brought 10year olds ben and gwen,older gwen created a future for them different from her own(future gwen,ben10 series)in that episode 10year old ben learned to not be hero 24/7,so he changed even a little.the ken10k episode of the ben10os is canon to that first timeline in which gwen and ben never travelled to the future.

BUT the timeline has changed due to that 1 timetravel event.so now Kevin and Gwen are together,even in the ben10 omniverse episode,that takes place in the far future.

Just imagine it like a tree with branches.

Up to the point of the first timetravel portal,both future bens had the same timeline,but after the portal,each timeline has its own branch.each is canonical and existant,we the viewrs just follow the new branch(with the 10yerolds traveling to the future)

Profesor paradox explained it as crisscross time. This is exactly it and is what I figured. The new Ben 10 K timeline is SLIGHTLY different than the original from the OS. For example, Kevin never turned evil and him and Gwen stayed together. But Kai and Ben still hook up and they are wearing the same attires.

When 10 year old Ben and Gwen went to the future, it changed. Even the writers said that the future is not fixed and events can pan out slightly differently.
