The burning question about Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi‘s relationship has been answered.
“The Kardashians” star’s link-up with the “Euphoria” actor, which has blossomed into a budding romance, was more than a mere coincidence. The pair started turning heads in April and has since tried to keep details of their relationship largely out of the spotlight, probably taking cues from their previous public romances.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are no newbies in the dating world and have been linked to famous stars in previous years. With this current romance, they seem to be living in the moment and taking each day at a time.
Insiders continue to spill the tea on Jenner and Elordi’s relationship despite their attempts to keep things lowkey. Sources have revealed that “The Kardashians” star and the actor did not meet by chance, as their coming together was thoughtfully orchestrated by Hailey and Justin Bieber.
This does not seem to raise eyebrows as they are both friends of the Biebers and were first spotted making out at Justin’s Coachella after party in April.
Page Six reported that the matchup was fueled by the Biebers’ encouragement as well as some push from other friends. Although it is unclear who made the first move, an observer said the reality TV star could not resist Elordi’s charms at the Coachella afterparty.
The new couple was spotted over Memorial Day weekend with friends who played cupid, taking cocktails at the five-star Santa Barbara San Ysidro Ranch hotel, close to where Jenner has a 6-acre home. One onlooker even described the model as being “very touchy” with her man.
The Lovebirds Are Taking Things Slow
While Elordi and the reality TV personality have been spotted a number of times by paparazzi together, enjoying each other’s company, they are reportedly not rushing into things.
The Blast shared that the lovebirds are not in a hurry to take their relationship to the next level as it stands but are exclusive.
According to a source, they are “not rushing to label anything or call each other boyfriend/girlfriend yet, but neither of them is seeing anybody else.” They are, however, reportedly letting each other into their personal lives. Jenner has started bringing the “Kissing Booth” star around her close friends and her younger sister, Kylie Jenner.
They were recently spotted on a double date with Kylie and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. Elordi and Jenner also took a romantic getaway to Hawaii, where they spent quality time bonding on the beach. The vacation allowed them to spend time in a private setting away from many prying eyes, and this has strengthened their bond.
Inside Kendall Jenner’s Low-Key Dating Life
Jenner has been one to keep her romantic life behind closed doors, yet details of her relationship have made waves in the media. In 2013, she was spotted on a date with iconic singer Harry Styles following his breakup from Taylor Swift.
At that time, a source told PEOPLE, “They’re just friends,” but in the following years, the story seemed to have changed as they were reportedly “flirting, touching, and snuggling.”
In 2016, she was spotted with NBA baller Jordan Clarkson, and a source confirmed that they were spending a lot of time together but keeping it lowkey. However, the romance ended shortly after.
Jenner was then linked to A$AP Rocky, but neither of them confirmed they were more than friends. She supported A$AP at his Coachella performance in 2017, and onlookers said they were “all over each other” at an afterparty.
The model and NBA player Blake Griffin made headlines in the media during the summer of 2017. They spent time bonding with each other’s families, but Jenner did not admit they were in a relationship.
Shortly after, she was linked to another basketball player, Ben Simmons, whom she admitted to dating on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” They called it quits in 2019.
Jenner’s relationship with Devin Brooker was one for the books. They kicked things off in 2020 and celebrated their first anniversary with a series of PDA-heavy Instagram posts.
The relationship, which seemed like a real deal, saw the end of the road shortly after hitting its two-year mark. Before Elordi, the reality TV star was reportedly dating Bad Bunny.
Jacob Elordi’s Dating Portfolio Has Co-Stars And Models
The “Frankenstein” star had one of his earliest public relationships with his co-star, Joey King. The pair met in 2017 on the set of “The Kissing Booth” and naturally developed feelings for each other as they played on-screen love interests.
King explained that their relationship started off as a friendship, and they soon became very comfortable with each other. Their romance lasted over a year before ending in 2018, while they continued to work together.
In 2019, there were whispers about Elordi dating his “Euphoria” co-star, Zendaya, after they were spotted vacationing together in Greece.
The actor downplayed the status of the relationship, saying that he saw Zendaya as his sister. Neither of them confirmed they were romantically involved, but rumors had it that the romance ended in 2020.
The Hollywood star was then linked to model Kaia Gerber in September 2020. They were seen cozying up to each other, and ELLE reports that Gerber was spending a lot of time at his house in Hollywood Hills at the time. The relationship reportedly ended in November 2021.
Elordi was then involved in a four-year on-and-off relationship with model-influencer Olivai Jade Giannulli. They were spotted on vacation in Italy but kept their romance largely off social media. They also did not make any red carpet appearances together, and by August 2025, they called it quits for good.
Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi’s Romance Began Months Ago
Sources claim that the new couple had been seeing each other since and officially became an item in early February. The pair have been really determined to keep their relationship between them for as long as possible. Jenner reportedly wanted to incubate her relationship with Elordi for as long as possible, rather than a hard public launch.
“She knows the more public the relationship, the more complicated it becomes. She’s trying to have a real relationship versus something that is a public spectacle,” a source close to Jenner revealed. “She wants it to be between her and her guy first, rather than her, Jacob, and the public,” they added.
The Blast detailed a recent outing in Montecito, California, where the model was seen being “very affectionate” with the “Kissing Booth” star. According to onlookers, she playfully touched his hair and wrapped her arm around him while they enjoyed their dinner at a restaurant.
Happy romance life, Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi!
