Kendall Jenner ‘Really Likes’ Jacob Elordi, Says Insider Close to Couple

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi's relationship is quietly moving into a more serious stage, with insiders saying the model "really likes" the actor as their private romance continues to grow away from public attention.
A source close to the pair says the two are still figuring things out, but their connection has become stronger over time. While they are not rushing into anything formal, they are spending more time together in relaxed and private settings.
"They're not trying to turn this into some big public thing," the insider shared. "They enjoy spending time together in more private settings."
According to People, the source added that their approach has stayed simple as they get closer. "They want to keep things low-key while they're figuring things out naturally. Kendall really likes him though," the insider said.
Jenner, 30, and Elordi, 28, have been linked since earlier this year after being seen together at events like Coachella and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Since then, reports say their bond has grown through more private meetups and quiet time away from Hollywood crowds.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi's romance is also getting more serious after a recent trip to Hawaii, where the two were spotted spending unhurried days together in Kaua'i. According to reports, they stayed at a resort, went for coffee runs, and visited local shops during their getaway.
