Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner confirmed their months-long romance with a hand-holding outing in London last August.
The “Euphoria” actor, 27, and the model, 30, were photographed strolling through the British capital together, making their first public display of affection since sparking dating rumors earlier in 2026. The couple had been linked since April of that year, when reports surfaced they had allegedly been introduced by Jenner’s sister Kylie Jenner.
Before the London confirmation, the pair had fueled speculation with a reported makeout session at Justin Bieber’s weekend one Coachella 2026 afterparty. “They were making out,” an eyewitness claimed of the desert festival encounter. Since then, they had been spotted on multiple romantic vacations together including trips to Hawaii and Tokyo earlier that summer, and were photographed coordinating outfits in Australia in June.
Kylie Jenner, who is in a relationship with Timothée Chalamet, was reportedly “around Jacob a lot during Timothée’s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for ‘Frankenstein’ and Timothee was nominated for ‘Marty Supreme,'” according to sources.
Elordi’s romantic history has been closely watched since he rose to fame in 2018. His first high-profile relationship was with co-star Joey King, 25, whom he met in 2017 while shooting Netflix’s “The Kissing Booth.” In a 2018 interview with Bello, King admitted she thought Elordi was “very cute” when they first met, and the pair became fast friends before turning romantic.
“It was such an interesting experience meeting your boyfriend on set because you spend so much time together and become so close so fast,” she explained. “We were spending 17 hours a day together, and all of us would hang out after work and watch movies together and stuff. It was great.”
The pair split in 2018 after one year, but continued to film two more movies together. In a joint Entertainment Tonight interview in 2020, King explained that she doesn’t feel the need to give people an “explanation” as to why they split, a sentiment Elordi shared. The following month, she told Howard Stern, “I think it’s a good thing we dated. … I learned the most I’ve ever learned in my life from him. I think that it’s awesome to date someone in your field who gets it, but doing the same exact thing as somebody is tough. It’s really tough.”
A year after his split from King, Elordi was linked to model Cari Flowers in summer 2019. Flowers tagged the actor in an Instagram photo and posted a since-deleted photo dump of her “friends in Australia” that included a shirtless photo of Elordi and a snap of the duo kissing, per reports. However, she removed all traces of him from her feed less than a month later.
Elordi then began dating “Euphoria” co-star Zendaya, also in 2019. While neither star confirmed the romance, they were photographed vacationing together in Greece in August 2019, and the “Dune” star reportedly traveled to Australia that year to spend Thanksgiving with Elordi and his family. At the American Australian Arts Awards in 2020, Zendaya called Elordi her “best friend.” After they were photographed kissing in Manhattan, sources said they had been “inseparable” for months and that “Jacob has met Zendaya’s family and everyone adores him.”
In September 2020, Elordi was first linked to model Kaia Gerber, 23, after they were seen holding hands in New York City on Zendaya’s birthday. They went Instagram official with couple’s Halloween costumes as Elvis and Priscilla Presley, and in May 2021, Gerber finally spoke about their relationship to Vogue.
“Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that, has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions,” Gerber told the magazine. “Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”
They made their red carpet debut at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Opening Gala in September 2021, but split that November. A source confirmed the breakup was “amicable.” Elordi praised Gerber in a Men’s Health interview published right after their split, crediting her with “handling herself wonderfully publicly” and teaching him “how to deal” with fame.
Just one month later, Elordi began dating Olivia Jade Giannulli, 25. The duo sparked speculation after being photographed grabbing coffee in Los Angeles before driving off in Elordi’s Range Rover. Sources said the romance was “casual” at first, explaining, “They both got out of relationships recently so they’re not rushing into anything serious. So far it’s going well and there’s sparks between them.”
They split in August 2022, rekindled in May 2023 after being spotted cozy in Los Angeles and on vacation near Portofino, Italy, then faced breakup reports again in January 2024 that sources disputed to the outlet. By October 2025, they were “fully over.”
During his time apart from Giannulli, Elordi was briefly linked to model Bianca Finch after they were seen canoodling at a park in Los Angeles, where he photographed her, though things fizzled quickly.
In the viral moment that launched his current chapter, Elordi and Jenner’s alleged Coachella makeout ignited social media frenzy in April 2026, setting off months of vacation sightings and coordinated appearances before their London hand-holding finally confirmed what fans had suspected.
Elordi is expected to continue promoting his role in “Frankenstein” through the fall awards circuit.
