If your 2026 celebrity bingo card had Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi becoming a Hollywood item, consider yourself ahead of the game. The rumor mill is buzzing with whispers that these two stars might just be the newest it couple in town.

It seems their long-standing friendship has taken a turn for the romantic. The duo, who shared a festive moment at Jenner's birthday bash in Paris back in 2022, are now reportedly closer than ever. The speculation started heating up when they were spotted engrossed in conversation at Vanity Fair's Oscar party in March. Despite years of friendship, the narrative around them is now shifting.

"They've been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months," a source revealed to People.

Inside Kendall's Romantic Past

Kendall Jenner is no stranger to the spotlight when it comes to her high-profile love life. The model, known for keeping things as low-key as possible, was previously linked to Bad Bunny and had an earlier fling with NBA star Devin Booker. Her dating timeline also includes names like Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, A$AP Rocky, Jordan Clarkson, and even Harry Styles.

The supermodel, known for her humor, didn't shy away from poking fun at her varied dating history in a Super Bowl commercial earlier this year. With a repertoire of famous exes, it's no wonder Jenner remains a perennial topic of interest in celebrity circles.

Jacob's Elordi's Journey in Love

Jacob Elordi has been just as private about his personal relationships as his potential new flame. Most recently, the Euphoria actor had a somewhat rocky relationship with Olivia Jade that lasted until 2025. Before her, he dated Kaia Gerber and had earlier relationships with co-star Joey King and a brief connection with Zendaya.

Elordi, who maintains a low profile in the dating world, has still managed to capture the public's attention with his past love stories. His association with some of Hollywood's young stars has kept fans eager to learn about his next romantic chapter.

The Coachella Connection

The real sparks began flying during Coachella 2026's first weekend. Gossip account Deuxmoi got people talking after sharing that multiple sources confirmed Jenner and Elordi were getting cozy at Justin Bieber’s after-party. The reports of them "making out" and being "all over each other" fueled the fire.

Cupid's Involvement: Enter Kylie Jenner

Rumors suggest that Kendall's sister Kylie had a hand in bringing the two together. As the story goes, Kylie spent time with Elordi during her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet's award season marathon, and she saw the potential for sparks between Jacob and Kendall. Encouraging her sister, Kylie reportedly said, "Girl, get on it. Date this guy already."

With the iconic Met Gala 2026 in view, fans are eagerly waiting to see if the pair will make their official debut as a couple. As the anticipation builds, only time will tell if Hollywood's rumor mill has hit the mark this time.
