Jacob Elordi Dubbed Mullet Twin by Oscar Nominee After Coachella Run-In
Coachella 2026 didn’t just bring the heat — it sparked a headline-making duo. After festival photos surfaced, Teyana Taylor is opening up to People about her bond with Jacob Elordi, dubbing them mullet twins.
So Coachella 2026 was packed with the usual celebrity crowd, and, as you’ve probably seen blasted all over social media, Jacob Elordi made an appearance — and yes, people noticed who he was hanging out with. Turns out, the friend in question is none other than Teyana Taylor. The internet immediately did what it does best: spiral into a non-stop guessing game about whether these two were the latest Hollywood couple, or just two people with a shared fondness for face-covering accessories.
Let’s Clear Up the Jacob Elordi & Teyana Taylor Situation
If you missed the photos or the videos: Elordi and Taylor were seen all covered up (think caps, sunglasses, and masks — not exactly subtle), strolling around Coachella together and leaving Young Thug’s set. There’s also video of Elordi with his arm around Taylor’s shoulder. Cue the online frenzy.
But, in the middle of all this, Teyana Taylor finally decided to set the record straight in a chat with PEOPLE. Here’s what she had to say about her friendship with Elordi:
Taylor also made it clear that she had a blast at Coachella (her words: 'amazing'), and even hinted she might be back for round two the following weekend. So, don’t be surprised if there are more blurry telephoto shots.
Why Is Everyone Jumping to Conclusions?
To be fair, Elordi and Taylor have been spotted together more than once:
- Coachella 2026: Photographed and filmed hanging out, faces semi-disguised, leaving sets together, looking every bit like a duo that doesn’t want to be recognized (which, of course, only guarantees everyone will recognize them).
- Oscars Season, February: Both showed up to the Academy Awards nominees’ luncheon, having both been nominated: Elordi for Best Supporting Actor, Taylor up for Best Supporting Actress. Reports say they hugged it out at the event, which didn’t help quiet the rumors.
Predictably, the rumor mill went into overdrive, especially after what, for these two, is a blockbuster four public appearances together. Social media comments ran the full spectrum: Are they working on a secret project? Are they dating? Could two attractive, talented people just be friends?
The Verdict, Straight from Taylor
Sorry to disappoint the celebrity-gossip train, but Taylor was smooth in batting back any romance stories. If you ask her, Elordi is her 'mullet twin' and 'award season BFF.' So unless 'mullet twin' is now code for something more, it’s just a friendship. Actually, Taylor seems genuinely a little amused anyone thinks otherwise — and, honestly, same.
In summary: until proven otherwise (or until someone writes a rom-com about it), Jacob Elordi and Teyana Taylor are apparently just two cool people who found a buddy in each other in the middle of the chaos that is awards season and music festivals. Let the rumor mill rest — or at least get more creative with the nicknames.
