Jacob Elordi and Kaia Gerber’s Love Story: Relive Their Relationship Timeline

Young love! Jacob Elordi and Kaia Gerber kept their relationship relatively quiet after stepping out together in September 2020.

Their rumored romance came eight months after Gerber parted ways with Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson. The pair split in January 2020 after a whirlwind three-month relationship. Elordi, for his part, was previously linked to Euphoria costar Zendaya. Us confirmed in February 2020 that the two were dating after they sparked romance rumors in August 2019.

In November 2020, Gerber and Elordi went public with their romance when they dressed up as Priscilla Presley and her late husband, Elvis Presley, for Halloween.

They’re both models, modeled for Calvin Klein — very into fashion, of course. They love going shopping together and even working out together. They’re truly some of the kindest people you will meet.” While the duo bonded over their shared interests, a second source told Us that they weren’t “rushing into anything serious like an engagement.” The pair were “enjoying being a couple” and just wanted “to experience life together,” the insider added. Gerber broke her silence about her and Elordi’s dynamic during an interview with Vogue in May 2021, noting that they didn't “want anything from each other.” She explained that they were in a “safe, steady relationship,” which led to her seeing the “possibilities of love.” She added: “Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.” Us confirmed in November 2021 that the duo split after a year of dating.
