Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi enjoy dinner date in Montecito amid romance buzz

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have sparked renewed romance speculation after being spotted together during a dinner outing in Montecito.

The pair were photographed on Sunday at a restaurant in the upscale California coastal town, where they reportedly dined with friends before leaving together in Elordi’s car.

The latest sighting adds to growing public interest in their relationship, which first drew attention in April when the two were seen spending time together at the 2026 Coachella Music Festival.

According to TMZ, Jenner and Elordi appeared comfortable and relaxed during the outing, further fueling speculation that their connection may be more than friendship.

Sources previously told Us Weekly that the pair recently took a trip to Hawaii, which reportedly brought them closer and strengthened their bond.

“Kendall and Jacob have become very close recently,” one insider said, noting that their relationship has been developing since earlier this year.

The source added that while things are progressing, the pair are not publicly defining the relationship and are keeping things informal.

Another insider told People magazine that Jenner “really likes” Elordi, but emphasized that the couple prefer to keep their relationship private and low-key.

“They’re not trying to turn this into some big public thing,” the source said, adding that both stars are focusing on spending time together away from the spotlight.

Despite avoiding official confirmation, their repeated public appearances together continue to fuel speculation that the relationship is becoming more serious.
