Kendall Reportedly Wants To Keep Jacob Out Of The “Kardashian Machine”
A source is spilling on the rumored couple.
Another Oscar nominee has found his way into the Kardashian-Jenner sphere. Though Jacob Elordi has been an acquaintance of Kendall Jenner for a while, the two seem to have gotten much closer recently. The relationship seemingly evolved from friends to something more in April, especially after reports of a steamy make-out session at Coachella. Now, sources are sharing major details about their romance.
A source told Page Six that Elordi is “the first guy [Jenner] has been crazy about in years.” But she’s still keeping things private. “She’s not rushing to throw him into the Kardashian machine,” the insider added. “Very few men survive that.”
In May, the new couple was photographed out on a double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, garnering a lot of media attention. “Thats why you haven’t seen the four of them anywhere else,” the Page Six source said.
Apparently, they’ve been seeing each other for bit of time, although sources only started confirming their romance in April. “They’ve been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months,” a source told People on April 21. The update comes about a month after Jenner and Elordi were pictured deep in conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on March 15. The speculation around their relationship heated up in early April, when they were reportedly seen making out at a Coachella after-party on April 11. Celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi cited “several sources” who claimed Jenner and Elordi were “all over each other” at the event.
According to The Daily Mail, Jenner and Elordi have actually been an item since February, with awards season playing a big role in their connection. “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,” the outlet’s source said.
Elordi’s Oscars run also brought him closer to the Kardashian-Jenner circle, due to Chalamet’s nominations for Marty Supreme. “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothée’s award season marathon,” the source explained. “Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already ... Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée.”
