It is no secret that Jacob Elordi has the entire internet in a chokehold. But while directors love him for his intense dramatic weight, the public is equally obsessed with who he is walking down the street with.

Elordi’s love life has long read like a crash course in modern “It Girls.” But over the last two months, his relationship status has officially graduated from standard tabloid fodder into a full-blown global mystery. Here is a breakdown of his current viral romance rumors, his longest relationships, and the famous faces that defined his rise to fame.

1. The Current Burning Question: What is Happening with Kendall Jenner?

If you have scrolled through TikTok or celebrity gossip channels at any point in the last few weeks, you have definitely seen the pictures. Over the past two months, Elordi and supermodel Kendall Jenner have been spotted together across three different countries, setting the internet ablaze.

The timeline of their rumored romance has moved at lightning speed:

  • March 2026: The pair are seen having an intense, close conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
  • April 2026: Eyewitnesses claim they were spotted packed on the PDA at a Coachella afterparty.
  • May 2026: Paparazzi capture them grabbing breakfast in Hawaii, followed weeks later by a cozy dinner date in California.
  • June 1, 2026: A restaurant in Tokyo’s Shibuya district breaks the internet by posting a photo of Jenner and Elordi in matching black outfits, with the actor leaning his head on her shoulder.

The Publicity Stunt Theory?

Despite the cozy sightings, a massive viral internet theory circulating this week has reframed the entire relationship for fans. Because Elordi is currently the top frontrunner to be cast as the next James Bond (007), and Jenner has emerged in early betting markets to play the next Bond girl, fans are aggressively debating whether this is a genuine romance or a brilliant, strategically timed Hollywood publicity pairing. Neither star has publicly commented, keeping the world guessing.

2. The Rollercoaster Era: Olivia Jade Giannulli (2021–2026)

Before the Jenner headlines took over, Elordi’s most enduring and complex relationship was with beauty influencer and YouTuber Olivia Jade Giannulli.

The pair first connected in December 2021, kicking off an incredibly low-key, on-and-off romance that kept fans on their toes for nearly four years. The couple notoriously valued their privacy, occasionally breaking up to focus on their respective careers before being pulled back together.

While sources claimed they had permanently split late last year, the duo shocked everyone by being spotted together in New York City in January 2026 and walking around Los Angeles in March 2026. Whether they have officially closed that chapter or are just on another classic “pause,” Olivia Jade officially holds the title for Elordi’s longest relationship to date.

The Co-Star Romances: Joey King and Zendaya

Before he was an A-list leading man, Elordi’s early love life was deeply tied to his television and film sets. His very first public relationship was with his Kissing Booth co-star Joey King. The two fell in love while filming the first movie in 2017, but split before the sequel rolled around. In a display of ultimate professionalism, the two reunited to film two massive sequels post-breakup, with King later calling it a “great learning experience.”

Shortly after, Elordi quietly transitioned into a relationship with his Euphoria co-star Zendaya. While their characters Nate and Rue were bitter rivals on screen, the pair spent 2019 and 2020 traveling the world together, hitting Greece and Australia. Though they never explicitly confirmed the romance to the press, a famous paparazzi photo of Elordi kissing Zendaya on the head in Soho, New York, cemented them as one of the most beloved low-key couples of the streaming era.

The Supermodel Era: Kaia Gerber

In late 2020, Elordi began dating model-actress Kaia Gerber. This relationship marked a major shift for Elordi, who openly credited Gerber with teaching him how to navigate the overwhelming nature of public scrutiny.

The pair made high-profile Met Gala appearances and famously went Instagram official on Halloween by dressing up as Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Ironically, Gerber then dated Austin Butler (who won an Oscar nomination for playing Elvis), while Elordi went on to play Elvis himself in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla. Hollywood is truly a small world.
