Inside Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi’s Fun-Fueled New Romance: Everything We Know
Days after cozy Coachella 2026 sightings, Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are casually seeing each other, insiders say — not serious, but they’ve been hanging out for months since awards season.
File this under: festival flings with a long on-ramp. Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were getting comfy at Coachella 2026, and now a source tells Us Weekly they are, in fact, seeing each other — just not in a big, capital-R relationship way.
Where things stand
Per Us Weekly, Kendall, 30, and Jacob, 28, are "casually seeing each other." They have been hanging out for a few months, not exclusive, and not trying to turn it into a whole thing. They click when they cross paths, and then go back to their lives.
"Neither of them want anything serious right now."
The spark apparently lit during the January awards-season circuit — lots of events, lots of run-ins — after years of orbiting the same social circles. It shifted from friendly to flirty only recently. Kendall thinks he is a cool, down-to-earth guy. And while she usually does not go for actors, her sister Kylie dating Timothee Chalamet since April 2023 has, as the source puts it, expanded her perspective a bit. Bottom line: Kendall likes him, and she is just rolling with it when schedules line up.
How we got here
The first public sighting of these two together was the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March. Cut to Coachella weekend one: they were back in the same frame, watching Justin Bieber’s headlining set with friends. The source says they have been spending time together in L.A. while Jacob has been around, but he is leaving again soon to film another project and does not want to be tied down.
The friend-group overlap
There is also the sibling-plus-actor hang: Kylie and Timothee were at Coachella too (they were spotted holding hands), and when all four manage to be in the same place, it has reportedly been an easy, low-pressure hang. Not a frequent thing, but fun when it happens. Us says they reached out to reps for Kendall and Jacob for comment.
Jacob’s recent relationship track record (and why the timing matters)
- 2021: Starts dating Olivia Jade Giannulli.
- Aug 2022: They split.
- Sep 2022: Back together.
- Feb 2023: Split again.
- May 2023–Jan 2024: Back on.
- Sep 2024–Aug 2025: Another run.
- Sep–Oct 2025: Brief one-month reconnection; then over again. A source told Us distance played a role — she was in NYC, his home base is L.A., and he was filming.
- They were last seen together in January.
Kendall’s recent dating history
Kendall previously dated Bad Bunny from 2023 to 2024 and was with Devin Booker from 2020 to 2022.
So yes, Kendall and Jacob are a thing — just the breezy, see-you-when-I-see-you version. With him heading out for another shoot and both of them keeping it light, expect more overlap at big events and fewer grand gestures in between.
