Kendall Jenner is reportedly keeping things very low-key about Jacob Elordi as she tries to shield him from being sucked into her reality TV family’s dramas.
The couple sparked romance rumors in February this year. However, the pair has kept their romance out of the limelight since then.
Their decision is not only due to Jenner's preference for keeping her love life private but also because Elordi has had difficult experiences with highly publicized relationships in the past.
Kendall Jenner is reportedly 'crazy' about her new boyfriend Jacob Elordi.
The constant scandals that surround the Kardashians and Jenners, too, seemingly play a part in that.
In a recent interview with Page Six, a source claimed, "She’s not rushing to throw him into the Kardashian machine."
They also added that Jenner is genuinely concerned about getting Elordi mixed up with her extended family's drama, as “very few men survive that.”
Kylie Jenner is 'Crazy' About Jacob Elordi
A source claimed that Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have become serious about their relationship.
The insider noted to the outlet that a major reason behind the supermodel feeling so protective towards her new partner is that he is “the first guy she has been crazy about in years.”
A different source previously told Page Six in May that things had started turning serious between the couple.
The pair reportedly went on a Hawaiian getaway earlier that month, which changed the trajectory of their relationship for the better.

“Kendall really didn’t expect to be this into him this fast, but Hawaii kind of changed everything,” the source said at the time.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi went on a Double Date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were spotted out on a double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet in May.
Shortly after vacationing in Hawaii, the makeup mogul and the Saltburn star were spotted leaving a party in LA with Jenner's sister Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
Although both couples attempted to hide their faces from the swarming cameras at the time, the paparazzi still caught a few glimpses of them. It seems like none of them were too happy about that fact.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi 'really get along' with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.
The source alluded to this during the recent interview with Page Six. “That's why you haven’t seen the four of them anywhere else,” the insider said.
A different source noted to People after the photos went viral that both couples apparently enjoy spending time together mainly because of their “similar personalities and lifestyles,” and they “really get along.”
