JACOB ELORDI & KENDALL JENNER’S RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE
For months, Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner managed to keep their relationship largely under the radar. While neither has publicly commented on their relationship, a steady stream of Deuxmoi tips, reader sightings and, eventually, paparazzi photos have helped piece together a pretty convincing timeline.
At the beginning of January 2026, Elordi was spotted with Olivia Jade in NYC, his last known long term girlfriend. By early February, he was photographed leaving a "Wuthering Heights" after-party in London around 3 a.m. with model Maddie Fogg. Whether there was anything more to that night is unclear, and Elordi soon became busy promoting "Wuthering Heights" and we never saw him and Maddie together again.
Then came Coachella.
On April 12, Deuxmoi broke the story that Jenner and Elordi had been spotted making out at Justin Bieber’s after-party following his Coachella performance. There were no photos of the moment, but it was the first time the two had been romantically linked.
Just days later, Elordi was spotted at Dune Coffee in Santa Barbara, not far from Montecito, where Jenner owns property. At the time, the sighting raised some eyebrows. In hindsight, it appears to have been one of the first clues that the two were already spending quite a bit of time together.
By early May, Elordi was spotted leaving Caruso’s in Montecito with a mystery passenger in the backseat, who we now believe was Jenner. A few days later, readers reported seeing the pair together at The Living Room in Los Angeles.
Then came the first real photographic evidence.
Around May 15, Deuxmoi obtained exclusive photos of Jenner and Elordi having breakfast together at Nourish Hanalei in Hawaii. Shortly afterward, a separate source told Deuxmoi the pair were “very serious” and claimed they had already been seeing each other for “at least two months before Coachella”, which would put the beginning of their relationship sometime around February.
After returning from Hawaii, the sightings started piling up. They were spotted together at Hermon’s in Los Angeles and then at Michael Rubin’s party, where a source described them as “all over each other” while hanging out at the event with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. Paparazzi later photographed the four leaving together, with Kendall and Jacob attempting to hide their faces.
By the end of May, the couple were spending more time around the Santa Barbara and Montecito area. They were spotted at a bookstore and coffee shop and were also seen with Hailey and Justin Bieber at San Ysidro Ranch. Over Memorial Day weekend, another sighting placed them at dinner together at Little Mountain in Montecito.
From there, the relationship went international.
Jenner and Elordi were spotted together in Tokyo before traveling to Australia in late June, where Elordi was born and raised. By mid July, they had made their way to Idaho, where Jenner also owns a home.
Later that month, the two were spotted looking loved up together on an outdoor terrace at Kim Kardashian’s Malibu home. Elordi also accompanied Jenner to San Diego for her grandmother’s celebration of life, bringing their relationship into decidedly more personal territory.
By the beginning of August, Elordi was spotted supporting Jenner at one of her horse shows. Not long afterward, the couple returned to Hawaii for Kylie Jenner’s 29th birthday, where they once again spent time with Kylie and Timothée.
Which brings us to London.
Jenner has been by Elordi’s side as he promotes his new film, "The Dog Stars", and the two have now been photographed together several times around the city, giving us some of the clearest pictures of them as a couple to date.
And their summer together may not be over just yet. We’re hearing Jenner may be headed to the Venice Film Festival in the beginning of September, raising the question of whether Elordi will join her there.
What started as a low-key tip has turned into something steady. From that first Coachella sighting to traveling together, spending time with each other’s friends and family, and now London, their relationship has clearly progressed in the months since. And as multiple sources have told us, it’s very serious.
