Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi spark romance rumors after Coachella 'makeout'
Sources confirm Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have been quietly dating since February
- Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have been "hanging out" privately since February 2026.
- The pair made headlines after being seen "cosying up" at a Coachella after-party.
- Jacob Elordi recently split from long-time girlfriend Olivia Jade before the new romance.
The rumoured romance between supermodel Kendall Jenner and actor Jacob Elordi has shifted from speculation to a "flirty" reality, with insiders confirming the pair has been quietly seeing each other for several months.
While the public caught wind of the connection during the first weekend of Coachella 2026—where the two were reportedly spotted "making out" at an after-party hosted by Justin and Hailey Bieber—sources told People and Entertainment Tonight that the relationship actually began around awards season in early February.
According to a report from Us Weekly, the transition from friends to a romantic interest was partly influenced by Kendall’s sister, Kylie Jenner.
Insiders claim that Kylie, who has been dating Timothée Chalamet since 2023, spent significant time with Elordi during the recent awards circuit, where he was promoting his film, Frankenstein.
"Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny," a source revealed, noting that the four stars have since enjoyed "fun" double dates.
The connection is described as "easy" and "low-key," with both stars bonding over their serious approach to their respective careers.
This new chapter follows high-profile splits for both individuals. Jacob Elordi reportedly ended his long-term, on-and-off relationship with influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli in October 2025, citing the difficulties of maintaining a connection while focused on intense filming projects.
Kendall Jenner, meanwhile, had previously been linked to musician Bad Bunny throughout 2024 and 2025.
While neither star has officially confirmed the relationship, they have been seen together frequently in Los Angeles and most recently at the star-studded festival in the Indio desert.
