After weeks of romance rumours swirling, fans are counting down the days until hot new couple Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi finally \u201chard launch\u201d their relationship for the cameras. <\/p>\n
But to those in their inner circle, the romance is already old news.<\/p>\n
Reality star-turned-supermodel Jenner, 30, and Wuthering Heights actor Elordi, 28, made headlines last week when they were spotted making out at Coachella<\/a>, some claiming the two were \u201call over each other.\u201d<\/p>\n According to pals, the public makeout session has been a long time coming because the two have been secretly dating for around two months. <\/p>\n \u201cThey have been together for a couple of months already, and it\u2019s going well,\u201d a source told the Daily Mail. <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThey were an item as far back as early February, so it\u2019s been a while. It helps that they have both been in Los Angeles a lot for the past couple of months, it has really given them time to bond.\u201d <\/p>\n Jacob split from girlfriend of four years, influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli, in August 2025 and can thank Kendall\u2019s younger sister Kylie for encouraging the new romance. <\/p>\n According to the source, Kylie frequently crossed paths with the Aussie actor, as both he and her beau, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, were hitting the same events on the awards season circuit. <\/p>\n \u201cKylie was around Jacob a lot during Timoth\u00e9e\u2019s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timoth\u00e9e was nominated for Marty Supreme,\u2019 they added. <\/p>\n The first dates reportedly took place at Kylie\u2019s home and while Kendall and Jacob have known each other for years (dating as far back as 2022 when he attended her birthday bash), the two were reportedly reluctant to move forward in a romantic sense. <\/p>\n \u201cKylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee,\u201c the source told the publication. <\/p>\n \u201cShe thought it would be fun if she and Timothee and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this month, gossip site Deaumoi <\/a>officially outed the pair with reports that they were spotted snogging at Justin Bieber\u2019s Coachella after-party<\/a>. <\/p>\n Several sources told the publication that the stars were seen enjoying Bieber\u2019s set separately before things heated up. <\/p>\n Kendall was seen dancing along with close pal Hailey Bieber at the front of the star-studded crowd, while Jacob was enjoying the performance with pals using a baseball cap and sunnies as a disguise.<\/p>\n Now we wait for those official pictures of their hot moment to surface \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After weeks of romance rumours swirling, fans are counting down the days until hot new couple Kendall Jenner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-624041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
