Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi may be Hollywood’s worst-kept secret right now, but reports say the couple is doing everything they can to keep things low-key. Justin and Hailey Bieber played a major role in bringing the two together, with the match occurring at Justin’s Coachella party in April, where the 30-year-old model and the 28-year-old “Euphoria” star were first spotted.According to Page Six, grainy footage of the pair was leaked to DeuxMoi’s account shortly after, but since then, Jenner and Elordi have made a concerted effort to stay out of the spotlight, with mixed results.
Why does Kendall Jenner keep her romance with Jacob Elordi private?
Sources say Jenner’s decision to keep things quiet stems from the public endings of her past relationships with Bad Bunny and Devin Booker. “She knows that the more public a relationship is, the more complicated it becomes.
“She’s trying to have a real relationship versus something that’s a public spectacle,” a source close to Jenner told the outlet. “She wants it to be between her and her man first, not between her and Jacob and the audience.
“This approach was not entirely successful. On May 16 in Los Angeles, Jenner and Elordi were photographed trying to protect their faces while in an SUV, with Elordi behind the wheel. In the back of the same car were Kendall’s sister, Kylie Jenner, 28, and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, 30, who had just returned from a double date.
How is the relationship going?
By all accounts, things seem to be going well. The new couple was spotted over Memorial Day weekend with suitors Hailey and Justin, sipping cocktails at the five-star Santa Barbara San Ysidro Ranch Hotel, near Jenner’s six-acre home. One onlooker described Jenner as “very touchy” with her husband, according to DeuxMoi. Earlier that day, the couple had dinner together at Little Mountain Seafood Restaurant.Earlier in the month, the pair were also spotted in Kauai, Hawaii, sitting and laughing together on a private beach. Wearing a bikini, Jenner was seen enjoying a bottle of rosé next to the shirtless actor, and the two appeared in deep conversation.Elordi, who briefly worked as a model in his teenage years, reportedly has a lot in common with the reality star. “When Kendall first started modeling, everyone was like ‘Nippo baby.’
But she put in the work. She made an effort and amazed everyone around her. He’s a hard-working guy, and he seems to stick to who he is. “She’s attracted to people like that,” the source said.
Who is Yaqoub Al-Wardi?
Elordi hails from Brisbane, Australia, where he grew up in a working-class family. His father was a painter and his mother worked in the school cafeteria. After graduating from high school, he took acting lessons in Melbourne and began making self-tapes for auditions before saving money and traveling to the United States.
At the age of 17, he was cast as an extra in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and two years later he landed his breakthrough role in The Kissing Booth.His profile has grown significantly since then, with prominent roles in “Euphoria” and his recent portrayal of Heathcliff in “Wuthering Heights” opposite Margot Robbie. He is also currently generating buzz as the front-runner for the role of James Bond in ‘Bond 26’, with directors reportedly looking for a young actor under 30 to carry the franchise in several films.Casting director Gary Zuckerbrod, who first discovered Elordi, previously told the director about the actor’s potential. “Jacob Elordi is probably the kind of actor who could become an actor. If anyone were to remake Gone With The Wind, they could star in it. He’s that guy. That timeless hero.”
What comes next for Kendall Jenner and Jacob El Orde?
Sources indicate that the couple may not be able to stay under the radar for much longer. Elordi is set to premiere his upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller “The Dog Stars” on August 28, presenting what insiders say could be a natural opportunity for more public appearances together on the red carpet.Meanwhile, sources are also hoping that Kylie Jenner’s increased visibility alongside Timothée Chalamet will encourage her sister to follow suit. It remains to be seen whether or not Kendall will make the move, but for now, the couple seems content to keep things between them.
