Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi quietly dating as Kylie Jenner plays matchmaker

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are reportedly dating, with their relationship said to have quietly developed over the past few months, thanks in part to a little encouragement from Kylie Jenner.

According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, the pair, who have known each other for years, began dating earlier this year, with their relationship now said to be “going well.”

Their connection is believed to have grown stronger while both spent significant time in Los Angeles, allowing them to bond away from the spotlight.

Kylie Jenner is said to have played a key role in bringing the two together.

The beauty mogul reportedly spent time around Elordi during awards season, where her partner Timothée Chalamet crossed paths with the actor at multiple industry events.

Impressed by Elordi, Kylie is believed to have encouraged her sister to pursue a relationship.

Insiders suggest Kendall initially hesitated, unsure whether to keep things platonic.

However, that changed after the group spent time together in a more relaxed setting, where chemistry between Kendall and Elordi became more apparent.

The relationship reportedly evolved during gatherings at Kendall’s home, where the two couples, Kendall and Elordi, alongside Kylie and Chalamet, grew closer. The dynamic, sources say, made the idea of double dating an appealing prospect.

The reported romance comes as Kendall enters a new phase in her personal life.

Now 30, the model has spoken openly about focusing on herself and maintaining balance, while not rushing into major life decisions such as starting a family.

She recently shared that while she hopes to have children in the future, her current priorities remain centered on her career and personal growth.

Reflecting on her journey, Kendall noted that her 20s were marked by pressure and uncertainty, while her 30s are about clarity and enjoying life on her own terms.

While neither Kendall nor Elordi has publicly confirmed the relationship.
