Kylie Jenner reportedly did more than cheer from the sidelines as Kendall Jenner grew closer to Jacob Elordi. The Kylie Cosmetics founder was said to have acted as a quiet matchmaker, nudging her sister toward dating the “Euphoria” actor after months spent in the same social circle.
Insiders claimed the romance had already been underway for more than two months. The report also said Kylie Jenner encouraged Kendall Jenner to stop keeping Elordi in the friend zone and start taking the connection more seriously.
Kylie Jenner ‘pushed’ Kendall Jenner’s romance with Jacob Elordi, per source
As per a Daily Mail report, one insider said, “They have been together for a couple of months already, and it’s going well.” The same source added that Kendall and Jacob Elordi were “an item as far back as early February.” That timeline pushed the dating story back well before their reported Coachella kiss. It also suggested the model and the “Saltburn” actor had time to build something private before the public caught on.
The outlet then tied Kylie directly to the start of the romance. As per the report, the insider said Kylie “liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny.” The source added she basically told her sister, “Girl, get on it, date this guy already.” The same account claimed Kendall had known Elordi for years, but was unsure whether to leave him in the friend zone. That was where the reported matchmaker role came in. The source said Kylie “pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob” because she wanted future double dates with Timothée Chalamet.
The report also gave a setting for how the relationship deepened. According to the insider, “Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen,” and that was where the four allegedly spent more time together. The source added, “Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.” The Daily Mail also noted past overlap between Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi, including Paris in 2022, Milan in 2024, and the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March. So, the claim was not that they had just met. It was that long familiarity that finally turned into dating, with Kylie Jenner reportedly helping it along.
