If Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi becoming a romantic item was on your 2026 bingo card, then you might be right on the money — if recent rumours and chatter are to be believed.
Jenner and Elordi have become the hottest topic in town as a potential new it couple, with sources claiming the duo's friendship has turned romantic. While the two have reportedly been friends for years, with Elordi even seen celebrating Jenner’s birthday in Paris in 2022, speculation has only recently grown beyond friendship.
The two were photographed having a tête-à-tête at Vanity Fair's Oscar party in March, and though some people have been guessing about a relationship between them for years, nothing was ever confirmed. However, in a short month, the narrative has changed. But, before we get into it, let's first look back at their dating history.
Who has Kendall Jenner dated in the past?
Kendall Jenner has notoriously been extra quiet about her personal life, but over the years, we have been privy to some of her more public relationships. More recently, the supermodel was linked to Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, whom she reportedly dated on and off from 2023 until 2024. In 2024, there were also rumours that Jenner could have rekindled her relationship with Devin Booker, whom she had dated from 2020 to 2022.
Jenner has also been romantically linked to Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, A$AP Rocky, Jordan Clarkson and Harry Styles, and she even poked fun at her dating history in a Super Bowl commercial this year.
A passenger princess to the end.
Who has Jacob Elordi dated in the past?
Much like Jenner, Jacob Elordi is notoriously private about his dating life; however, the Wuthering Heights actor has publicly dated a few partners. Most recently, and since 2021, Elordi reportedly had an on-and-off relationship with Olivia Jade before reportedly calling it quits for good in August 2025. Prior to that, he was in a relationship with Kaia Gerber from 2020 to 2021 and Kissing Booth costar Joey King from 2017 to 2018. He was also briefly linked to Euphoria co-star Zendaya in 2020.
Ok, now that we know the history, let's get into Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi's rumoured romance. While the duo has not spoken about it publicly (and, knowing their history, they likely never will), they have been making the rumour mill churn with their latest reported interactions, and fans are craving more.
Notably, the 30-year-old model has been seen with her rumoured partners at the Met Gala, whether during the actual event or the after-parties, so, with Met Gala 2026 around the corner, who knows what we might be privy to? The 28-year-old actor has only attended the event once in 2022, but he is an ambassador for Bottega Veneta, Cartier, and Bleu de Chanel, among other brands, so we might see a new interaction between the two if they both make it to the iconic Met stars in May.
While we wait, check out their full (rumoured) relationship timeline below.
