After taking a break from dating very<\/a> tall<\/a> men<\/a> to spend some time with Bad Bunny<\/a> (a respectable five-foot-11), Kendall Jenner<\/a> is reportedly back to romancing a guy you\u2019d have to crane your neck to talk to. According to reports, the model has struck up a fling with Jacob Elordi<\/a> (six-foot-five) over the past couple of months, thanks to none other than her sister Kylie.<\/p>\n Rumors about a romance between Jenner and Elordi started after the first weekend of Coachella<\/a>. Several sources wrote in to Deuxmoi<\/a>, claiming to have seen the pair getting close at Justin Bieber\u2019s after-party. According to one of Deuxmoi\u2019s sources, Jenner and Elordi were \u201call over each other.\u201d<\/p>\n On Tuesday, another source told\u00a0People<\/a> that Jenner and Elordi have been \u201changing out and getting to know each other the last couple months.\u201d On Wednesday, a much chattier person gave the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a> more\u00a0detail about how things purportedly got started. \u201cKylie was around Jacob a lot during Timoth\u00e9e [Chalamet\u2019s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timoth\u00e9e was nominated for Marty Supreme,\u201d the source said. \u201cKylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.\u201d<\/p>\n The Daily Mail source noted that Jenner and Elordi have been friends for years \u2014 he reportedly attended her birthday party back in 2022 \u2014 and that she was \u201cnot sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not.\u201d Ultimately, it was Kylie who apparently got her sister to take the plunge. \u201cKylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timoth\u00e9e,\u201d the source said, later adding that the four of them have been hanging out at Kendall\u2019s house a lot.<\/p>\n Kind of cute that Kendall and Kylie have matching prestige-actor boyfriends, no? They should try to set Khlo\u00e9 up with Andrew Garfield next.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n The latest in style, self, culture, and power in your inbox.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
