Kendall Jenner ‘taking it slow’ with Jacob Elordi amid growing romance buzz

Kendall Jenner is reportedly taking a cautious approach to her rumoured romance with Jacob Elordi, with insiders claiming their long shared history made her hesitant to take things further at first.

The 30-year-old supermodel and the 28-year-old actor have known each other for years and move in the same celebrity circles, long before any talk of a romance began.

A source told Page Six the pair have been quietly spending time together for several months after their dynamic shifted from friends to something more. 

They were even both at Kendall’s birthday celebrations in 2022, adding to their long-standing connection.

The insider said: “They’ve known each other forever and run in the same circles. 

They’ve actually been hanging out for a couple of months now, just keeping it quiet. They’re seeing where it goes.”

Kendall, who is known for keeping her private life under wraps, has reportedly been cautious. 

“She’s really private so she’s taking it slow. She’s not the type to jump into something, especially with someone she’s been friends with,” the source added.

However, things appear to be warming up. 

“She’s more open to it now. It’s casual for now but there’s interest there,” the insider claimed.

Sister Kylie Jenner is said to be supportive, with the source adding she knows Jacob and thinks they’re a good match.

The pair were first linked after rumours they were seen kissing at a Coachella 2026 after-party hosted by Justin Bieber, an Coachella 2026 moment that set tongues wagging in Hollywood.

Kendall has previously dated Devin Booker, Bad Bunny and Harry Styles, while Euphoria star’s exes include Olivia Jade and Kaia Gerber.
