Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are reportedly an item!
An insider spilled to a news outlet on Tuesday, April 21, that the two have been hanging out after the reality star’s sister Kylie set them up.
Kendall, 30, and Jacob, 28, were allegedly seen making out at Justin Bieber’s Coachella after party in April, but their connection reportedly dates back to long before that.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were allegedly seen kissing at Coachella.
“They have been together for a couple of months already, and it's going well. 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,” the source shared with Daily Mail.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Were Friends First
Kylie Jenner reportedly thought Jacob Elordi 'would be good for Kenny.'
Kendall and Jacob started off as friends, and the model allegedly considered whether she wanted to “keep him in the friend zone or not.”
“Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée,” the source explained. “She thought it would be fun if she and Timothée 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. Kenny's house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there. And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob... there was chemistry.”
