Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Fuel Romance Rumors With Birthday Trip to Australia

THE RUNDOWN

• Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi were photographed walking a dog in Byron Bay, Australia, where Elordi owns a house.
• The visit to his home country comes days before his 29th birthday.
• The rumored couple previously traveled to Hawaii and Japan together.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have traveled to Hawaii and Japan together, but their latest trip may mark their most significant milestone yet. The two stars, who first sparked dating rumors in April, were photographed walking a dog today in Byron Bay, Australia, where Elordi owns a four-bedroom house.

Elordi is Australian himself, having grown up in nearby Brisbane. He’ll celebrate his 29th birthday in just two days on June 26, likely with Jenner in his home country.

As it’s winter there, Elordi and Jenner both wore coats. The photo agency noted they were seen hugging at a café where they grabbed breakfast, fueling speculation their relationship has become more serious.

In late May, a source spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the pair’s evolving dynamic months into hanging out. “When Jacob started pursuing Kendall romantically, she was open to it right away,” the source said. “He’s been very sweet to her.”

While at that point, the insider described their relationship as “new and casual,” the source stressed Jenner’s interest in the actor. She finds him to be “incredibly hot and smart,” the insider said, and her family also approves. “Kendall’s told all her sisters about him, and they’re all for it—especially Kylie. Kylie has been encouraging Kendall and Jacob’s relationship, and it’s been a lot of fun for them to go on double dates [with Kylie and Timothée Chalamet] and spend time together as a group.”
