Jacob Elordi’s rumored romance with Kendall Jenner may come with one major image problem.
The ‘Euphoria’ actor has been linked to Jenner in recent weeks after reports claimed the two were quietly spending time together. The chatter reportedly started heating up after a Coachella after-party sighting and later grew after talk of a Hawaii getaway.
Neither Elordi nor Jenner has confirmed anything publicly. Still, the rumors have been specific enough to keep the story moving.
Now, a new report claims Elordi may be interested in Jenner while also feeling uneasy about the world that comes with dating a Kardashian-Jenner family member.
Jacob Elordi Reportedly Wants Distance From Reality TV Fame
According to one source, Elordi has “a real disdain for the whole reality television scene” and does not want to be pulled into a glossy, influencer-driven celebrity lane.
The claim paints Elordi as someone trying to protect his image. He has built his career through projects like ‘Euphoria’, ‘Priscilla’, ‘Saltburn’, and ‘Frankenstein’, while Jenner comes from one of the most famous reality TV and social media families in the world. That is the tension at the center of the rumor.
The report suggests Elordi sees himself as part of the more actor-driven, prestige side of Hollywood. Dating Jenner, even casually, could push him into the Kardashian-Jenner media machine whether he wants that or not.
Kendall Jenner Rumors Keep Growing
Elordi and Jenner were reportedly seen getting close at Justin Bieber’s Coachella after-party earlier this year. They were later tied to a rumored Hawaii trip and were also mentioned around a wider celebrity circle that included Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. That overlap made the story harder to ignore.
Jenner is used to high-profile dating attention. Elordi is too, but his past relationships have often carried a different kind of public pressure.
He was previously linked to ‘The Kissing Booth’ co-star Joey King after they met on set in 2017. Their romance ended in 2018, and the two later returned to the franchise after the breakup. By 2019, Elordi was tied to Zendaya after the two were spotted together in Greece and New York. Neither confirmed a relationship, and speculation cooled in 2020.
Elordi’s Dating History Keeps Following Him
After the Zendaya rumors, Elordi was linked to Olivia Jade Giannulli in late 2021. Their on-and-off relationship lasted for years before they reportedly split for good in August 2025.
Now, Jenner is the name attached to him. The problem, according to the latest claim, is that Elordi may not want the Kardashian-Jenner level of visibility. That is difficult when the person he is rumored to be seeing belongs to a family whose private moments often turn into full public storylines.
For now, the relationship remains unconfirmed. Still, the rumor has a strong hook: Elordi may be interested in Jenner, but not the influencer world surrounding her. That is exactly the kind of contradiction the internet loves.
