Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were spotted kissing during Justin Bieber’s post-show party at Coachella over a week ago.
But the relationship is not brand new, as the Daily Mail has learned that the supermodel and the actor have already been dating for more than two months.
‘They have been together for a couple of months already, and it’s going well,’ a source told the Daily Mail.
‘They were an item as far back as early February, so it’s been a while. It helps that they have both been in Los Angeles a lot for the past couple of months, it has really given them time to bond.’
And, it has also been learned that Kendall’s younger sister Kylie Jenner played matchmaker for the new couple.
‘Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee [Chalamet’s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme,’ the source explained.

‘Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already,’ added the insider.
Kendall had already been friends with Jacob for years and ‘was not sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not,’ the source shared. But the Kylie Cosmetics mogul championed a deeper relationship.
‘Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee,’ the source added.
‘She thought it would be fun if she and Timothee and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.
‘Though Kylie is younger, she is really the leader between those two, she has dominant Leo energy for sure, while her sister is more casual.’
The insider also shared that some of the early dates took place at Kendall’s house near Beverly Hills.
‘Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there,’ revealed the source.
‘And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.’
Representatives for Jenner and Elordi have been contacted for comment.

Elordi has been linked to influencer Olivia Jade since 2021, but the pair had multiple breakups and reconciliations until they finally split for good last year.
Before that, he romanced Kaia Gerber and Joey King.
Jenner, meanwhile, has dated a string of high-profile men, including Bad Bunny and multiple professional basketball players such as Devin Booker and Ben Simmons.
