Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on May 31 that Jenner and Elordi have moved from longtime friends into a private romantic relationship and have been photographed together.
- Reports say the two first connected at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty in April, with grainy footage of them kissing later leaked to gossip accounts.
- Several accounts identify Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber as central to bringing the pair together, with other friends in their circle helping nurture the connection.
- The couple tried to stay low-key but were publicly seen on a May 16 Los Angeles group outing with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet and were observed together over Memorial Day weekend in Santa Barbara.
- Coverage relies on paparazzi images and unnamed insiders rather than on-the-record confirmation, so the next developments to watch are whether Jenner or Elordi comment publicly or take steps to further shield their relationship from media scrutiny.
