Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner are ‘getting to know each other’, sources say
Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner are reportedly dating and have been quietly spending time together amid romance rumors. A source tied to PEOPLE dished, “They’ve been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple of months.”
The actor and supermodel first sparked dating rumors after DeuxMoi reported that the pair was “all over each other” and “making out” at Justin Bieber’s weekend one Coachella 2026 afterparty.
However, as per Daily Mail, Jacob and Kendall have reportedly been dating since February this year. A source revealed to the outlet that Kendall’s sister, Kylie, played cupid between her and the Wuthering Heights star.
The source shared, “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during [her boyfriend] Timothée’s [Chalamet] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme. Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny, so she was like, ‘girl, get on it, date this guy already.’”
Interestingly, the pair has hung out in the same social circles for a long time. Jacob previously attended Kendall’s birthday celebration in 2022. Not only that, the actor and supermodel were spotted engrossed in a conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Although Kendall has known Jacob socially for years, there was never any romance between them. However, Kylie played a pivotal role in getting him “out of the friend zone” and making her sister see him as a potential romantic partner. The source explained, “Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée.”
The four of them have spent a lot of time at Kendall’s LA home. The source shared that the 30-year-old supermodel “found out she just clicked with Jacob, there was chemistry.”
