The entertainment world is talking about a possible new couple. Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have been the center of dating rumors after their recent appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2026. Reports confirm the two Hollywood stars have been spending time together for several months. This article explains their ages, age gap, and the complete story behind these romance rumors.
Kendall Jenner is 30 years old. Jacob Elordi is 28 years old. The age difference between them is two years, with Jenner being the older one. Both stars are in their late twenties, making them close in age. Sources confirm they have been quietly seeing each other since early February 2026, which means their relationship started about two and a half months ago.
Kendall Jenner Born November 1995, Jacob Elordi Born June 1997
Kendall Jenner was born on November 3, 1995. She turned 30 in late 2025. She is an American model, media personality, and socialite. Jenner became famous through the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She is now one of the highest-paid models in the world, working with top brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Marc Jacobs.
Jacob Elordi was born on June 26, 1997. He is from Brisbane, Australia. The actor is currently 28 years old and will turn 29 in June 2026. Elordi built his acting career through popular movies and shows. He is best known for playing Nate Jacobs in the HBO series Euphoria and Noah Flynn in The Kissing Booth movies. He also stars in the film Wuthering Heights and the upcoming movie Frankenstein.
The two-year age gap is small and rarely matters in Hollywood relationships. Both are established stars at similar career levels and life stages.
Coachella 2026 Sighting Sparked Public Interest
The romance rumors began during the first weekend of the 2026 Coachella festival in April. Fans spotted Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi together at multiple locations around the event. Witnesses claimed the pair were seen kissing at an after-party hosted by Justin Bieber. A popular celebrity gossip account posted that sources saw the two “making out” and being “all over each other” at the Bieber after-party.
Neither Jenner nor Elordi has made any official public statement about their relationship status. They have chosen to stay quiet while speculation grows online.
Relationship Started Months Before Festival Appearance
Sources close to the pair confirm they did not just meet at the music festival. Their relationship reportedly goes back to early February 2026. An insider told People magazine that Kendall and Jacob “have been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months.”
Another source explained to Daily Mail that “they were an item as far back as early February, so it’s been a while. It helps that they have both been in Los Angeles a lot for the past couple of months; it has really given them time to bond.”
Before their Coachella appearance, the two were also seen having a deep conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier in 2026. Additionally, Jacob attended Kendall‘s 30th birthday party in late 2025, showing they have moved in the same social circles for some time.

Kylie Jenner Played Matchmaker for Her Sister
The story of how Kendall and Jacob got together includes a familiar face. Kylie Jenner, Kendall’s younger sister, reportedly set them up. Kylie is currently dating actor Timothée Chalamet. Jacob Elordi and Timothée Chalamet both attended many awards shows earlier in 2026. Elordi was nominated for his role in Frankenstein, while Chalamet was nominated for Marty Supreme.
A source told Daily Mail: “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee’s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme. Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny, so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.”
The insider added that Kendall was not sure at first about changing their friendship into a romance. “Kenny was not sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not.” But after spending time together at Kendall’s house with Kylie and Timothée, she realized “she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.”
Kylie reportedly wanted to set up double dates with Timothée and Jacob. The source called Kylie “the alpha sister” who pushed Kendall to begin the romance.
Kendall Jenner Values Privacy in Personal Life
Kendall Jenner has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. She explained her thinking in a past interview with Vogue Australia.
“For me, a lot of things are very special and very sacred, like my friends and relationships. I personally think that bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier.”
However, she also admitted she is a romantic person at heart. “I am very much someone who… I am love at first sight type of person,” she said. “I know I am gonna fall in love with you the second that I meet you.”
This combination of privacy and romance fits with how she is handling the current rumors. She has not confirmed or denied anything publicly.
Past Relationships for Both Stars
Kendall Jenner has dated several well-known celebrities in the past. Her previous romantic links include Bad Bunny (they reportedly split in December 2023), Devin Booker (dated from 2020 to 2022), Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, A$AP Rocky, and Harry Styles.
Jacob Elordi also has a public dating history. He has been linked to his The Kissing Booth co-star Joey King, Zendaya (his Euphoria co-star), model Kaia Gerber, and Olivia Jade Giannulli.
Both stars were single before this reported relationship with each other.
No Official Confirmation From Either Side
As of April 22, 2026, neither Kendall Jenner nor Jacob Elordi has publicly addressed the romance rumors. They have not posted about each other on social media. Their representatives have also not released any statements. The lack of denial from either side, combined with multiple sources confirming the relationship, suggests the rumors are likely true.
Fans continue to watch for any public appearances or social media clues from the rumored couple.
