Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Have Gone From Coachella Rumours to Kardashian Approval
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi’s relationship timeline began exactly where many modern celebrity romances do: with one conversation that looked a little too interesting and a festival sighting nobody could stop discussing. They were reportedly seen talking at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, then spending time together around Coachella in April. Soon after, a source said they had already been getting to know each other for months.
No official announcement followed. Instead, Kendall and Jacob seemed to let the occasional photograph do the speaking, which is convenient when the photographs keep appearing in several different countries. By May, they had reportedly travelled to Kaua‘i, Hawaii, where they were spotted around the island, followed by a double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. June brought Japan, including a restaurant photograph shared by Tokyo’s Udon Shin, and then Australia, where Kendall and Jacob were photographed walking a dog together in Byron Bay on June 24.
The location was notable too:
→ Byron Bay is only a few hours from Brisbane, where Jacob was born.
→ Hawaii can be dismissed as a glamorous getaway.
→ Japan could still be two famous people travelling.
But Australia, a dog walk and breakfast near his home territory? That begins to look considerably less casual.
Then came the July 10 update. An unnamed source claimed Kendall is “very into” Jacob, that she enjoys his laid back personality and that their energies naturally match. The same source said the Kardashian Jenner family has now welcomed him and is happy to see Kendall happy. That is a rather quick development considering another source said on June 30 that Jacob had not yet been properly brought around the family and that they did not know him well. Perhaps introductions happened quickly. Perhaps different sources know different parts of the story.
Either way, the family approved chapter remains a report rather than something Kendall, Jacob or the Kardashians have confirmed themselves. That distinction matters because Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi still have not publicly labelled their relationship.
What is confirmed is that they have repeatedly spent time together, travelled to Hawaii, Japan and Australia, and appeared alongside Kylie and Timothée. What remains unverified is how serious they are behind closed doors and whether Jacob has officially earned a seat at the Kardashian family table.
Still, this pairing was always going to take over the internet: Kendall brings the Kardashian Jenner audience, while Jacob arrives with Euphoria, Saltburn and an online fan base prepared to investigate a blurry jacket sleeve. They have not given the public a red carpet debut. They have given it passport stamps, a dog walk and just enough evidence to keep everyone refreshing.
