Kendall Jenner “In Love” With Jacob Elordi? Inside the Anonymous Report Claiming He Could Be “The One”

Kendall Jenner speaking to Jacob Elordi while attending a formal event indoors.

For months, Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have quietly fuelled dating speculation without ever publicly confirming their relationship. Unlike many celebrity romances dominated by red-carpet appearances and social media declarations, this rumored pairing has largely unfolded through travel sightings, discreet outings, and anonymous insider reports.

Now, a fresh report has added a dramatic new layer to the ongoing speculation. According to an anonymous source quoted by Entertainment Tonight (ET), Jenner has allegedly been privately telling her closest friends that she is “in love” with the Euphoria star and believes he could be “the one.” 

It is important to note that neither Kendall Jenner nor Jacob Elordi has publicly confirmed they are in a relationship. Every claim discussed below originates from unnamed sources, while both celebrities have continued to maintain a notably private approach to their personal lives.

Kendall’s love life has made headlines in other unexpected ways too, including a Super Bowl commercial that stirred plenty of online chatter of its own. That story is covered in Kendall Jenner’s Super Bowl Ad Sparks “Kardashian Curse” Chaos — And the Internet Can’t Look Away.

ET Insider Claims Kendall Jenner Feels “Everything Feels Different” With Jacob Elordi

According to an anonymous source speaking to Entertainment Tonight around July 23, 2026, Kendall Jenner has reportedly been opening up to her inner circle about how serious her feelings have become.

The insider claimed:

“Kendall has been telling her closest friends that she’s in love with Jacob.”

The source went even further, describing how Jenner reportedly views the relationship today.

“She feels like Jacob is everything she’s been looking for, and the past few months have felt like something out of a movie. She’s happier than she’s been in a long time. He brings out a side of her that even surprises her.”

Another quote that has attracted significant attention states:

“With him, everything feels different.”

Rather than focusing on grand romantic gestures, the report describes Elordi as someone who shows affection through everyday actions.

According to the same source:

“He’s thoughtful in all the little ways. He’s always carrying her bag, opening doors, and making sure she feels taken care of.”

The insider also claimed that Kendall’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner, has been supportive throughout the reported romance.

“Kylie is thrilled to see Kendall like this, and she’s really hoping it lasts.”

The anonymous source portrayed the relationship as more emotionally grounded than some of Jenner’s previous romances, suggesting that the connection is built around consistency and thoughtful gestures rather than public attention.

Kendall’s mother has also generated plenty of buzz on her own recently, particularly after unveiling a noticeably refreshed look. That story is detailed in Kris Jenner’s Shocking Facelift Transformation: The Untold Truth Behind Her New Look.

How Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi’s Rumoured Romance Reportedly Developed

Although the latest claims have made headlines, reports linking Jenner and Elordi stretch back several years.

The pair have known each other through overlapping celebrity circles and were photographed together in a group setting during Paris Fashion Week in February 2022. However, speculation that their friendship had turned romantic did not gain real momentum until 2026.

Kendall has also been turning heads on the runway this year, most recently with a standout appearance at a major European fashion event. That look is discussed in our post: Kendall Jenner’s Emporio Armani Milan Fashion Week 2026 Look Is the Definition of Italian Minimalism.

A Romance Built on Privacy Rather Than Publicity?

One theme has remained consistent throughout nearly every report covering the rumored relationship—privacy.

Rather than making coordinated public appearances or sharing moments online, Jenner and Elordi have mostly been spotted while traveling internationally or spending time with close friends. Previous insider reports have repeatedly described both stars as naturally low-key, career-focused, and comfortable keeping their personal lives away from public attention.

The reported romance also aligns with comments Jenner previously made about approaching dating more intentionally after turning 29. Meanwhile, Elordi has continued to maintain a relatively private personal life despite his high-profile acting career in projects such as Euphoria and Saltburn.

Although some blind items and speculative reports have suggested alternative interpretations—including publicity theories—the dominant narrative emerging from ET and other entertainment outlets continues to focus on Jenner’s reported happiness, the couple’s shared low-profile lifestyle, and Elordi’s small, attentive gestures.

As of now, however, the relationship remains entirely unconfirmed by either Kendall Jenner or Jacob Elordi. Until one or both of them choose to speak publicly, the latest “everything feels different” and “the one” claims remain anonymous-source reporting rather than verified statements from the couple themselves.

Other celebrities have had their dating histories closely tracked this year as well, including one musician whose full relationship timeline has drawn its own share of curiosity.
