Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi Have Been Secretly ‘Hanging Out’ for Months After Being Set Up by Kylie
Love is in the air for Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi. The supermodel and Euphoria actor first sparked dating rumors in April 2026 when several sources told Deuxmoi that Elordi and Jenner were reportedly “all over each other” and “making out” at Justin Bieber’s Coachella 2026 afterparty.
But it turns out they’ve been enjoying each other’s company for quite some time now. A source told People that the Oscar nominee and The Kardashians star have been “hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months.”
The Daily Mail further reported that the two have been dating for a little over two months, with a source teling them that Jenner and Elordi “were an item as far back as early February, so it’s 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,” the source added.

As for how the couple got together, Jenner’s younger sister Kylie played matchmaker.
“Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothée [Chalamet’s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothée 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.”
Jenner and Elordi had already been good friends for a few years, and the source said that the model “was not sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not” — but Kylie encouraged her older sister to take a chance on the Wuthering Heights star.
“Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée,” the source continued. “She thought it would be fun if she and Timothée and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.”
The source also revealed that Jenner and Elordi’s first few dates took place at her Beverly Hills mansion. “Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there,” they said. “And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.”
