Jacob Elordi’s shocking reason to keep Kendall Jenner relationship a secret

Jacob Elordi recently shared shocking reason to keep his new relationship with Kendall Jenner a secret.

A source close to the Wuthering Heights actors spoke to OK! magazine and opened up that Jacob wants to keep his relationship with Kendall under wraps “not only out of discretion, but because he sees himself operating on a different intellectual level than the reality TV world”.

Jacob and Kendall, who have been dating for a few months, sparked romance after they met through mutual friends in LA last year.

Another source revealed that the Frankenstein actor tried to maintain secrecy as a deliberate attempt.

Given his high-profile past relationships with Joey King, Kaia Gerber and Zendaya, this time, Jacob’s reasons to keep his relationship low-key was because he could be overshadowed by the Kardashian-Jenner media machine.

An insider told the outlet, “He has a real disdain for the whole reality television scene.”

“Jacob sees himself as part of the artistic side of Hollywood – literature, film, character work – and he doesn't want to be lumped into that glossy, influencer-driven world. That's partly why he insisted everything stay quiet,” explained a third source.

The source noted that Jacob “admires” Kendall as a person but added that he’s “conscious that any association with that family comes with cameras, scrutiny, and assumptions about fame that he wants to avoid”.

“It may sound ultra-snobby, but it is what it is,” they added.
