Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have reportedly struck up a romance.
On Tuesday, April 21, a source told the Daily Mail the model, 30, and the Euphoria actor, 28, “were an item as far back as early February, so it’s been a while,” adding, “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.”
As for how the romantic relationship between the pair — who have been friends for a few years — began, the source said the reality TV personality’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner, played a role.

“Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee [Chalamet‘s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme,” the source explained. “Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.”
The source noted that Kendall “was not sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not,” but the Kylie Cosmetics founder, 28, “pushed” her to take the leap as “she thought it would be fun if she and Timothee and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.”
According to the source, the couple spent time at Kendall’s house in Los Angeles in the beginning of their relationship.
“Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there,” the source added. “And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.”

People also reported on Tuesday, that The Kardashians star and the actor “have been together for a couple of months already, and it’s going well,” per an insider.
Romance rumors began to swirl earlier this month during weekend one of Coachella as Deuxmoi reported on Sunday, April 12, that “several sources” said they “were enjoying each other’s company last night at the Bieber after party, making out and ‘all over each other.’”
The Kissing Booth star was previously in an on-again, off-again relationship with Olivia Jade. As for Kendall, she has kept her dating life private but was linked to Bad Bunny in 2023.
