Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner were not on anyone’s 2026 movie star bingo card, and yet they’ve become one of the most talked-about rumored pairings in Hollywood these days. Between Coachella sightings, Hawaiian beach outings, and reports of a double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, speculation around the two has exploded online. However, neither star has officially confirmed the rumors, but TMZ has reported that the two have been spending a lot of time together lately.
Coachella Sightings & Hawaii Trips Spark Dating Rumors
Rumors of Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner dating began circulating after they were spotted together at the Oscars after-party earlier this year. However, it was during Coachella 2026, though, that the rumors intensified.
Fans began repeatedly spotting Kendall and Jacob together at Justin Bieber’s intimate after-party at the festival, fueling online dating rumors. People later added credibility to the rumors when the outlet reported that the two had been “hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple of months.”
The rumors escalated even more in May when paparazzi photographed the pair on vacation together in Hawaii. TMZ described it as a “cute little date,” with eyewitnesses stating the chemistry between them was “obvious” even though there was “no PDA.”
In a later report, Page Six revealed that the Hawaii vacation “made things a lot more serious” between the two. An insider told the publication, “Kendall really didn’t expect to be into him this fast, but Hawaii kind of did.”
The biggest development came when Kendall and Jacob recently joined Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet on a double date after attending a private Fanatics event in Los Angeles. According to an inside source, the four stars “all really get along.”
