Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Romance Fueled by Justin Bieber

Supermodel Kendall Jenner and actor Jacob Elordi were first spotted making out at Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Coachella after‑party in April 2026, an encounter the Biebers are said to have encouraged. Sources close to the couple say the pair have been trying to keep the relationship private, bringing it to friends’ circles rather than the public eye.

Since the Coachella sighting the duo have been photographed on a beach date in Hawaii, sharing a bottle of rosé, and later dining together at Little Mountain in Montecito. On May 16 they appeared in an SUV in Los Angeles on a double‑date with Jenner’s sister Kylie and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, where they tried to shield their faces from photographers. A source told Page Six, “She knows the more public the relationship, the more complicated it becomes. She’s trying to have a real relationship versus a public spectacle.”

Friends of Jenner have expressed concern that the romance is deepening quickly, especially after Elordi withdrew from the Cannes Film Festival citing a foot injury, yet was later seen in Hawaii and Los Angeles with no visible injury. Both have said they are not rushing to label the relationship, but are keeping it exclusive and largely out of the media spotlight.
