Why Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Are Sparking Romance Rumors
These pictures may induce a state of euphoria.
After all, it’s not every day you see Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi all hanging out in the same car.
But that’s exactly what happened on May 16, with the foursome driving around the streets of Los Angeles.
Though each person hid their face from cameras—their smiles and laughs visible even behind their phone shields—Jacob, in pictures obtained by DeuxMoi, could be seen behind the wheel with Kendall in the passenger seat while Kylie and Timothée shared the backseat with the group’s friend Renell Medrano.
The photos quickly became a hit on social media, with one user likening the lighthearted photos to the paparazzi snaps of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton’s in their own car in 2006.
While Timothée and Kylie have been dating for over three years, making their joint appearance all the more usual, Kendall and Jacob being spotted together comes amid rumors that their longstanding friendship has taken a turn for the romantic.
The pair first raised eyebrows when they were photographed spending time together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March. One month later, they reunited at Coachella to watch Justin Bieber’s headline performance.
It was then that rumblings began picking up on social media, with users saying they saw the pair looking extra cozy together.
But while reports of their rumored romance have become more prevalent, neither Jacob—who dated Olivia Jade Giannulli off and on for years before their August split—nor Kendall have addressed the speculation publicly.

This shouldn’t come entirely as a surprise, however. While Jacob and Olivia kept the details of their relationship private during their time together, so too has Kendall kept her past romances with Devin Booker and Bad Bunny largely out of the spotlight.
Though the model does have a vision for what she hopes her future holds, including her plans for children.
“I want to have some, but not right away,” she told Vogue France in an interview published Feb. 24. “I want to make sure I can dedicate a lot of time to them, and for now, I'm still too busy.”
In the meantime, Kendall wants to keep the 2026 vibes light and fun.
“The most important thing will be to stay true to myself and continue having a good time,” she said. “It might sound like a cliché, but it's very important to me.”

With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara.
