Jacob Elordi had reasons for keeping Kendall Jenner romance a secret, per source
Jacob Elordi reportedly wants to keep his rumored romance with Kendall Jenner a secret. A source told OK! Magazine the reason behind it could allegedly be more than just being a private person. According to them, the actor was said to have a “real disdain” for the reality TV world, from which Jenner rose to fame.
She has grown up filming the iconic show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” The supermodel was part of the highly dramatic content about her family. Referring to this, the insider said, “Jacob sees himself as part of the artistic side of Hollywood – literature, film, character work – and he doesn’t want to be lumped into that glossy, influencer-driven world. That’s partly why he insisted everything stay quiet.”
Furthermore, they shared that Elordi has admiration for Jenner as a person. However, he also seemed aware of the media attention that would come with associating with the Kardashian-Jenner surname. Therefore, he allegedly wants to keep his dating rumors with her under wraps to avoid “cameras, scrutiny, and assumptions.” “It may sound ultra-snobby, but it is what it is,” the source added.
Meanwhile, another insider claimed that the “Wuthering Heights” star would reportedly like to avoid the “celebrity-industrial complex.” “He thinks he’s got more to offer than becoming a tabloid headline. So yes – he’s a bit high-minded about it, and he doesn’t hide that,” they added.
