Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi may be Hollywood’s worst-kept secret right now, but reports say the couple is doing their best to keep things light. Justin and Hailey Bieber played a key role in getting the two together, which happened at Justin’s Coachella party in April, where the 30-year-old supermodel and the 28-year-old “Euphoria” star were seen for the first time.According to Page Six, the couple’s grainy pictures were leaked to the DeuxMoi gossip account shortly after, but since then, Jenner and Elordi have tried to stay out of the spotlight, with mixed results.
Why Kendall Jenner keeps her romance with Jacob Elordi private
Sources say Jenner’s decision to keep things quiet stems from the public end of her previous relationships with Bad Bunny and Devin Booker. “He knows that the more public the relationship, the more complicated it becomes. She’s trying to have a real relationship as opposed to something that’s a public spectacle,” a source close to Jenner told the outlet. “She wants it to be between her and her boy first, instead of between her and Jacob and the public.“This approach has not been entirely successful. On May 16 in Los Angeles, Jenner and Elordi were photographed covering their faces in an SUV with Elordi behind the wheel. In the back of the same vehicle were Kendall’s sister, Kylie Jenner, 28, and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, 30. The foursome had just returned from a double date.
How is the relationship going?
All things considered, things seem to be going well. The new couple was spotted over Memorial Day weekend with partners Hailey and Justin, sipping cocktails at the five-star San Ysidro Ranch Hotel in Santa Barbara, near where Jenner owns a six-acre home. An onlooker described Jenner as “very touchy” with her man, according to DeuxMoi. Later that day, the couple dined together at Little Mountain Seafood Restaurant.Earlier this month, the pair were also spotted in Kauai, Hawaii, sitting and laughing together on a private beach. Jenner was spotted enjoying a bottle of rosé next to the bikini-clad actress, with the two appearing deep in conversation.As reported, Elordi, who worked as a model as a teenager, has a lot in common with reality stars. “When Kendall first started modeling, everyone was like ‘nepo baby.’ But he put it to work. He made an effort and impressed everyone around him. He’s a hard-working guy, and he seems grounded for everything. He’s attracted to people like that,” the source said.
Who is Jacob Elordi?
Elordi is from Brisbane, Australia, where he grew up in a working-class family. His father was a painter and his mother worked in the school canteen. After finishing high school, he took acting lessons in Melbourne and started doing self-tapes for auditions, before saving up and flying to the US. At the age of 17, he was cast as an extra in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’, and two years later he landed a breakout role in ‘The Kissing Booth’.His profile has grown significantly since then, with notable roles in “Euphoria” and most recently portraying Heathcliff in “Wuthering Heights” alongside Margot Robbie. He’s also currently buzzing as a prequel to the role of James Bond in ‘Bond 26’, and casting directors are said to be looking for a young actor under 30 to lead the franchise in several films.Casting director Gary Zuckerbrod, who first discovered Elordi, first spoke of the actor’s potential. “Jacob Elordi is the kind of actor who could possibly grow up, if someone did ‘Gone With The Wind’ again, he could be his lead. He’s that man. That timeless male lead.”
What’s next for Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi
Sources suggest that the couple may not be able to stay under the radar much longer. Elordi will premiere the post-apocalyptic thriller ‘The Dog Stars’ on August 28, presenting what insiders say could be a natural opportunity for a more public red carpet debut together.Meanwhile, sources also hope Kylie Jenner’s growing visibility with Timothee Chalamet will encourage her sister to follow suit. Whether Kendall will take that step remains to be seen, but for now, the pair seem happy to keep things between them.
