Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi’s romance is heating up.
“Kendall and Jacob have become very close recently,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They were excited to get away to Hawaii and have some downtime together.”
Jenner, 30, and Elordi, 28, were spotted in Kauai, Hawaii, earlier this month. Us previously confirmed their newfound romance in April.
“This has been going on since January, but things are progressing, and they have been consistently seeing each other when they can,” the insider tells Us. “It is much more serious now, without a label.”
According to the source, Jenner and the Oscar nominee have a “very natural connection,” but neither star is currently looking for a committed relationship.
“Kendall especially likes that Jacob is very funny and easy to be around, and she seems really happy and relaxed when she’s with him,” the source adds. “They’ve been spending more private time together behind the scenes and have become much more comfortable in each other’s inner circles.”
The Kardashians star and Elordi have also enjoyed double dates with Kendall’s sister Kylie Jenner and her Oscar-nominated boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.
“It has really worked out that they can hang out with Kylie and Timothée, and it has been so fun for all of them to be together,” the source says. “The group dynamic has made things even easier because there’s no pressure and everyone gets along naturally. They’ve been enjoying low-key dinners and just hanging out at home casually.”
Kendall had been single since 2025 after back-to-back relationships with Devin Booker and Bad Bunny.
“I’m actually in a, like, me era right now,” she said on the “In Your Dreams” podcast in January when asked about dating. “I know that might sound corny … but when I turned 29, I had a crash-out about turning 30. When I turned 29, I remember saying to myself, I do feel like I’ve been in [relationships], and there’s nothing wrong with it.”
She continued, “I’ve had great relationships, I’ve had not-so-great relationships, but I felt like through my 20s, I was in a lot. I was in a few long-term consistent relationships … near each other. … When I turned 29, I made a minor commitment to myself. I was, like, ‘I’m not going to reject anything [and] I’m going to stay open to anything that feels like it would suit me,’ but I really wanted to have a ‘me year’ where I chose myself.”
As for Elordi, he last dated Olivia Jade Giannulli on and off from 2021 to 2025.
