Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner Heat Up Hawaii — New Photos Fuel Romance Rumors
New photos out of Hawaii have Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner fanning the romance rumors again, with Elordi posted by a car as Jenner heads toward a nearby property. Linked since last month, the duo’s island overlap is the latest spark keeping the buzz alive.
It looks like the internet's favorite new potential couple—Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner—are still doing absolutely nothing to quiet down those romance rumors. If anything, they're making it harder to ignore, especially after their recent trip to Hawaii together. So, let's break down what actually happened, what people are saying, and where this increasingly public 'are they/aren't they?' situation really stands.
Spotted in Hawaii: Separate Photos, Shared Vacation
Over the weekend, the somewhat secretive duo were photographed separately but clearly in the same place in Hawaii—Elordi looking laid back by a car, Jenner strolling towards a house. You don't have to be a private eye to put two and two together. This all hit the internet thanks to Deuxmoi, the online rumor mill with a pretty solid track record for celebrity scoop. Oh, and they didn’t just get papped—they were recognized out and about on Kaua'i by people who said the two looked 'cute together' while having breakfast at Nourish Hanalei. Not exactly low-key.
If you're curious, they reportedly stayed at the North Shore Preserve resort (not exactly roughing it). Fans and sources say they were also seen getting coffee and hitting up a wine shop. It’s all the usual romantic vacation playbook, just with a lot more telephoto lenses than normal.
The Timeline: From Coachella to Hawaii
- April: Romance rumors really pick up when Elordi and Jenner are supposedly seen together at Coachella, according to random 'sources' and the occasional blurry photo.
- Shortly after Coachella: The Sun claims they got close at one of Justin Bieber's parties. Direct quote from a source: 'Kendall is 100 percent Jacob’s type. I heard they’re having fun and he hung out with her Sunday, too.' (Thanks, anonymous party guest.)
- May, Hawaii: Cue the vacation. They’re spotted at breakfast, a resort, and cafes—all mostly together, but always just far enough apart to keep things fuzzy.
- Now: The internet is on high alert, but both parties are back in Los Angeles. So if you’re expecting nonstop Pina Colada selfies, you’re out of luck (for now).
Wait, Weren't They Seeing Other People?
In case you’re trying to keep everybody’s exes straight: It’s been reported that Jacob and Olivia Jade (yes, the influencer/reality show one) are no longer together, so no messy overlap there—at least not officially. On Kendall’s side, the rumor game has always been strong, but no other names are currently in the mix.
Family Approval—Or Strategic Gossip?
The rumors aren’t just on the internet, either. The Daily Mail says this thing might have started as far back as February. What’s more, Kylie Jenner (Kendall’s sister and currently seeing Timothée Chalamet, which is a whole different celebrity Venn diagram) reportedly is in favor of Jacob as Kendall’s new guy. Supposedly, Kylie 'liked him' around the awards season circuit and told Kendall she thought he’d be 'good' for her. That’s either sibling support or next-level matchmaking.
So, where things stand: they’ve been 'hanging out' for months, the family is apparently on board, and there are plenty of blurry vacation pics to keep the rumor mill turning. Is it serious? Are they just having a vacation fling? Hard to say, but if they’re trying to keep this quiet, they might need a better travel agent.
