JUSTIN Bieber’s Coachella afterparty wasn’t just about the music — it also sparked a new romance between Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi.
The supermodel and Euphoria star were first spotted locking lips at the bash, with insiders revealing the Biebers and their friends gave the green light to the pairing.
Their attempts to dodge photographers hit a snag when they were caught trying to shield their faces in an SUV during a double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.
Kendall, who has had high-profile splits with Bad Bunny and Devin Booker, is keen to nurture this relationship away from the public eye.
A source close to her explained to Page Six, “She knows the more public the relationship, the more complicated it becomes.
“She’s trying to have a real relationship versus something that is a public spectacle.”
The couple recently enjoyed a private beach day in Kauai, Hawaii, and were seen sipping cocktails over Memorial Day weekend with Justin and Hailey Bieber at Santa Barbara’s San Ysidro Ranch.
Jacob, who’s also being tipped as a potential new James Bond, impresses Kendall with his grounded nature and work ethic, according to insiders.
“When Kendall first started modelling, everyone was like ‘nepo baby.’ But she put in the work. She put in the effort and impressed everyone around her,” said a source, adding Jacob is “a hard-working guy, and seems grounded for who he is.
“She’s attracted to people like that.”
Despite the growing buzz, reps for both stars have stayed tight-lipped about the romance.
With Jacob’s rising career and Kendall’s desire for privacy, this relationship looks set to stay low-key — at least for now.
