Kendall Jenner Prioritized Social Fit in Jacob Elordi Relationship

Sources reveal that Kendall Jenner insisted on one key condition in her relationship with Jacob Elordi: that he integrate smoothly into her tight-knit social circle. The reality television personality and the actor from “Frankenstein” have reportedly been friends for a long time and share many mutual acquaintances.

Speculation about their relationship began earlier this year, around February, when they were seen together at a Coachella after-party. Jenner places great importance on dating someone who naturally gets along with those closest to her.

According to insiders, Jenner was keen to observe how well Elordi meshed with her inner circle before progressing their relationship. The pair have attracted considerable attention amid rumors of their romance. They were also seen on a double date with Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, in Los Angeles in May.

Reports indicate their relationship is strong, although Jenner was initially cautious due to their longstanding friendship and overlapping social circles. Sources suggest the nature of their relationship has evolved recently.

Jenner reportedly approached the romance carefully, not wanting to rush into anything given their history as friends. The “Euphoria” actor is described as “super easy going and down to earth,” which helps him connect well with Jenner’s friends—something that matters greatly to her.

An insider explained, “One of the biggest things for Kendall when she dates someone is how they fit in with the people closest to her because her friends and inner circle really mean everything to her.”

She has been introducing Elordi more frequently to her close friends and sister Kylie, who reportedly like him.
