Whispers of a budding romance between model Kendall Jenner and actor Jacob Elordi have intensified, fueled by their recent public appearances together. The speculation began in March when the pair were photographed side-by-side at the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.
A month later, they reunited during the first weekend of Coachella, where they were spotted among friends watching Justin Bieber's performance.
However, it was the social media chatter from fellow festival-goers that truly ignited the rumor mill. Multiple attendees claimed to have seen the duo getting notably close throughout the event. The gossip blog Deux Moi added fuel to the fire, posting an unverified claim from sources that Jenner and Elordi were seen sharing a kiss at an after-party following Bieber's set.
While the two have maintained a friendly relationship for years, recent reports suggest their connection may have quietly evolved into something more romantic over the past several months. Representatives for both Jenner and Elordi have not responded to requests for comment, leaving fans and media to speculate.
This potential new chapter for Elordi comes eight months after his reported split from Olivia Jade in August 2025, following an on-and-off relationship of four years. Jenner, meanwhile, has been linked to NBA star Devin Booker and musician Bad Bunny in recent years. She has historically kept her personal life private, though a playful social media exchange with Booker in January briefly captured public attention.
In a rare personal revelation earlier this year, Jenner hinted at her future plans in an interview with Vogue France, stating she envisions having children "but not right away," emphasizing her current focus on her career. For now, the model says her priority for 2026 is to "stay true to myself and continue having a good time." As for her connection with Elordi, only time will tell if the Coachella sparks were a fleeting moment or the beginning of a new headline-making romance.
