Observers noted that the pair appeared comfortable in each other's company, with several reports suggesting they were seen kissing throughout the night. The sighting occurred while they were surrounded by a close-knit circle of friends, including Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi ‘Spending Time’ Together

While the Coachella appearance was a public turning point, sources indicate the relationship has been developing behind the scenes for some time. According to a report from PEOPLE, the pair has been "quietly spending time together" since the beginning of the year.

An insider shared with the publication that the connection is currently in its early stages."They’ve been hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months," the source told PEOPLE.

Additional reports from Us Weekly describe the romance as "casually seeing each other," noting that while it is not yet "serious," there is a genuine connection. The source added that Kylie Jenner reportedly helped facilitate the pairing, as she is a close friend of Elordi through her own social circles.
