According to sources close to the situation, the vacation highlights a developing connection between the two, who have transitioned from long-time acquaintances to romantic partners.
From Friendship to Romance
Insiders report that Jenner and Elordi have moved within the same social circles for years, but their dynamic only recently turned romantic. Sources indicate that sparks first flew around the awards season in January, when the two repeatedly crossed paths.
The speculation grew in March when they were seen having an animated conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The pairing became more evident during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, where they were seen spending time together after attending Justin Bieber’s headlining set.
An insider speaking exclusively to Us Weekly clarified that while the two are "casually seeing each other," the relationship remains low-pressure. The source noted that it is currently a "have fun when they're in the same place" situation, adding that neither Jenner nor Elordi is looking for a serious commitment at this time. Jenner reportedly enjoys Elordi's company, describing him as a "down-to-earth guy."
The burgeoning relationship has also been linked to Jenner’s immediate family circles. Reports suggest that Jenner’s sister, Kylie Jenner, played a role in opening her sister’s eyes to dating within the acting industry. Kylie has been in a high-profile relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet since January 2023.
According to sources, the setup has allowed the two couples to occasionally spend time together. Insiders noted that it has been an enjoyable experience for both Kylie and Kendall to go on double dates with Chalamet and Elordi, given that the group shares significant common ground and friendly dynamics. ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Episode 6 Release Date: When and Where To Watch Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya’s Hit Teen Drama Online.
