Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are reportedly growing closer, but the actor has not yet met the Kardashian-Jenner family, according to a new report. The pair first sparked dating speculation earlier this year after they were photographed talking at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Relationship Status Unconfirmed
While neither Jenner nor Elordi has publicly confirmed a relationship, sources claim they have continued to spend more time together in recent months. According to PEOPLE, a source said the family has not yet had the opportunity to get to know the Saltburn actor. "The family is hearing Kendall is happy, but the family doesn't know him well yet," the source claimed.
Kylie Jenner's Alleged Role
Another report previously suggested that Kendall's younger sister, Kylie Jenner, played a role in introducing the pair. According to a source cited by HOLA!, Kylie became acquainted with Elordi during awards season, when her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, received recognition for Marty Supreme. The source alleged that Kylie believed Elordi would be a good match for her sister. "Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny, so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already," the source claimed.
The same source also described Kylie as the "alpha sister" and alleged she encouraged the relationship partly because she envisioned spending time with the couple alongside Chalamet. "She thought it would be fun if she and Timothee 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," the source added.
Recent Sightings
More recently, Jenner and Elordi were seen together with others at Udon Shin restaurant in Tokyo. The restaurant later shared a photograph of the group on social media to thank them for visiting. Despite the continued sightings and reports from unnamed sources, neither Kendall Jenner nor Jacob Elordi has publicly addressed or confirmed the romance rumors.
