As fiercely as the 2026 release slate has ruled Hollywood headlines, this year’s dating rumors have detonated with even greater force, sending love storms, secret sparks, and unexpected pairings tearing through the celebrity world by the day. And while the Jenner girls already seem wrapped in a season of romance, with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet continuing to stir fascination, it is now Kendall Jenner who has seized the spotlight after her name became increasingly entwined with Jacob Elordi.

And as the pair repeatedly find themselves in the same orbit, the whispers have only grown louder over whether Kendall Jenner and Elordi could be Hollywood’s newest surprise couple.

The buzz surrounding Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi truly ignited after the first weekend of Coachella, where fans tracked every movement, glance, and possible crossover between the supermodel and the Wuthering Heights star. The chatter only grew louder after PEOPLE reported that the pair had been quietly spending time together and getting to know each other over the last couple of months. While the pair has kept the swirling intrigue unconfirmed for now, the romance rumours continue to blaze on as pure speculation.

“They’ve been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months,” A source told PEOPLE exclusively.

The two have long moved through the same glittering celebrity circles, with Jacob Elordi previously attending Jenner’s birthday celebration in 2022 before the pair were later seen deep in conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this year. Yet despite the growing spotlight, Jenner has famously kept her dating life behind velvet ropes, once revealing to Vogue Australia that her friendships and relationships feel deeply special and sacred, and that public exposure only makes everything messier.

As famously as she keeps fans strapped to the front seat of every runway moment, Jenner has kept the internet equally hooked through the years with every dating name linked to hers.

While being notoriously private about her dating life compared with her sisters, fame and romance have still followed Kendall Jenner like gravity. Over the years, the supermodel has been linked to a string of high-profile names, including Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Bad Bunny, and Harry Styles, proving that even her most guarded romances rarely stay out of the spotlight for long. From quiet confirmations to front-row fashion debuts and viral appearances, Jenner’s love life has repeatedly kept the rumour mill spinning.

Kendall Jenner has recently reignited chatter with ex-boyfriend Devin Booker after flirty Instagram exchanges following her Super Bowl 2026 ad debut. Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi has also continued to prefer a far more low-key path despite his rising heartthrob status. Still, the actor has seen his name linked to notable figures including Olivia Jade, Kaia Gerber, Zendaya, and Joey King, making this latest link-up with Jenner feel like yet another glamorous collision of two closely watched worlds.

And even if something intriguing may well be brewing between the two, the romance rumours remain firmly in speculation mode until either Jenner or Elordi chooses to confirm the news.
