Welp, it doesn’t look like things are slowing down anytime soon between Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner, no matter how many Etsy witches you paid to stop them from getting together—sorry, boo.
Rumors of Kendall and Jacob dating each other spawned after this year’s Coachella, where they were seen getting rather cozy by people lucky enough to attend the festival. And updates on their budding romance have been coming nearly every week since, with some sources saying spectators shouldn’t “hold their breath” for them to get serious, while other sources say that “Kendall is 100 percent Jacob’s type.”
Regardless of what ends up becoming of these two, read on below to see a very detailed timeline of events in Kendall and Jacob’s romance. Just try not to weep.

The tip that started it all: In the midst of Coachella, DeuxMoi says “several sources tell Deuxmoi Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner were enjoying each other’s company” at the festival, with a tipster literally saying that they were allegedly making out with each other at Justin Bieber’s party.

Daily Mail chimes in with a report about the Jacob and Kendall relationship rumors, saying that “nobody should hold their breath on this becoming the next celeb it couple. Late at night at Coachella isn’t usually the place to start a new love.” LOL.
Coachella flings aside, the outlet’s source noted that Jacob simply “isn’t her type,” and that while “there is a flirtation” between them, it probably won’t “stick” because of “his schedule and ego.” But! They are “friendly and flirty and don’t mind the talk.”
Kendall’s sister, Kylie Jenner, has some skin in the game, though—the Khy founder is “rooting for something to happen” between Jacob and Kendall because they’ll have more chances to see each other with serious actor boyfriends on their arms.
“Kylie would fully support a relationship between the two as she has mentioned on many occasions that they could do a bunch of fun double dates,” the source adds. “They both can have their Oscar-nominated men and just have the best times ever.”

Kendall and Jacob apparently hang out again the day after kissing at JB’s party, with The Sun reporting that “Kendall is 100 percent Jacob’s type. I heard they’re having fun and he hung out with her Sunday, too.” And in case you were wondering, “Him and Olivia [Jade] are so done.”

Nothing too notable, but a source tells People that Kendall and Jacob have “been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months.” Remember that for the next piece of info…

Surprise! Kendall and Jacob “have been together for a couple of months already, and it’s going well,” according to a Daily Mail insider. “They were an item as far back as early February, so it’s been a while. It helps that they have both been in Los Angeles a lot for the past couple of months, it has really given them time to bond.”
If you’re looking for someone to blame for all of this, look no further than Kylie: “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothée [Chalamet’s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothée was nominated for Marty Supreme. Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.”
“Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée,” the source adds. “She thought it would be fun if she and Timothée and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together. ‘Though Kylie is younger, she is really the leader between those two, she has dominant Leo energy for sure, while her sister is more casual. Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there. And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.”

Not sure if Kendall and Jacob are already on vacationing-together levels of relationship yet, but apparently, the two spend “a few days in Kauai, Hawaii.”
And when fans demanded pics, Deux provided. Per a source: “While Kendall Jenner & Jacob Elordi were in Hawaii this week they stopped by Nourish Hanalei for breakfast. Fans who ran into the couple while on the island told Deuxmoi they were ‘so cute together.’”
