Are Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi Dating? Their Coachella Sighting Has Fans Wondering

Over the years, Coachella has evolved into much more than a music festival. For influencers, it’s a fashion show. For brand owners, it’s a place to highlight your company. And for celebrities, it could be the spot to debut a new relationship. And after Coachella weekend one, April 10-12, all eyes are on Kylie Jenner and Jacob Elordi, who were reportedly spotted kissing at the festival. Her Campus reached out to Jenner and Elordi’s teams for comment on the PDA and dating rumors, but didn’t hear back by the time of publication.

The A-list couple was spotted up close and personal at Justin Bieber’s afterparty after his headlining set, several sources tell Deuxmoi. Jenner personally confirmed her attendance at Bieber’s performance with an Instagram story of herself with her sister, Kylie, and their friends. While Elordi didn’t post on social media, he was filmed bobbing along to Bieber’s pop hits. 

Even though both Jenner and Elordi fall under the high class celebrity status, it’s unclear whether or not they’ve interacted much in the past — a recent sighting of them chatting at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party seems to point to yes, though. 

Of course, this is not the first attention-grabbing relationship for either celebrity. Elordi has been in a years-long, on-and-off again relationship with influencer Olivia Jade. As of January 2026, a source said, “They never really stopped talking. They would text and check in. They always plan to see each other when Jacob is in NYC. Olivia has been spending most of her time in the city, and they usually connect when he is there.”

Jenner, on the other hand, has been single for a minute since ending her relationship with Bad Bunny. In September 2024, an Us Weekly insider said, the two stars are “still friendly but have taken a step back and aren’t dating.” The source added, “[They] were more serious after their short break [earlier this year]. But it ultimately didn’t work out long term.” 

Now, both Elordi and Jenner are back on the market, and fans think they may be together. Who knows if the desert heat got the best of them and it’s just a casual Coachella fling, or it’s a relationship that just debuted at the festival.

While we don’t know where this relationship is headed, the internet seems pretty into it. One TikToker commented on a video explaining the new matchup, writing, “This is the hottest thing I’ve ever heard.” Another user took to X and wrote, “Into this cause they’re both hot in these trying times of pretty girl ugIy boyfriend epidemic.” 

I think I’m into this, too. Here’s hoping these two take a (rumored) casual hookup to official status ASAP.

My name is Isabelle Farina, I am a senior Journalism student at the University of Georgia receiving a minor in Law, Ethics and Philosophy and a certificate in Film and Media Scoring. While I’ve been having my fun in the south, I’m definitely a Jersey Girl at heart. I'm from a small town in New Jersey, so I love splitting my time between the beach and New York City. Because of my proximity to such a vivacious city,I love all things pop culture; books, movies, TV, music, you name it, I am definitely interested in it.

The most important goal of mine is to be able to channel my passions for media and storytelling into a lifelong career. My dream job would be to be an entertainment reporter for a culture magazine or write for the arts and culture columns of a newspaper. I have always been fascinated by celebrity culture and how audiences get so attached to people they don't even know just because of the art they create or are involved in.

To pursue my passion thus far, I have gotten involved with fashion magazines on campus and written culture articles for local publications. The power of the media is so intriguing to me and I realize how important it is to society. I want to be a part of the action.
