Is Kendall Jenner’s Romance With ‘Wuthering Heights’ Star Jacob Elordi Really Causing Tension With Kylie?

Few celebrity pairings have generated as much buzz this year as Kendall Jenner’s romance with Jacob Elordi. The supermodel and the ‘Euphoria’ star first sparked dating speculation earlier in 2026, and the rumors exploded after they were reportedly seen kissing at Justin Bieber’s Coachella after-party in April.

Since then, the pair have been spotted together around the world. They’ve reportedly been seen in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Australia, and London, where Elordi was promoting Ridley Scott’s ‘The Dog Stars’.

Interestingly, Kylie Jenner has often been credited with bringing the couple together. A source told the Daily Mail that Kylie spent time around Elordi during awards season, when he was nominated for ‘Frankenstein,’ and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet was nominated for ‘Marty Supreme’, and encouraged her sister to date him.

The two couples have also been seen on double dates. Reports have described Kendall, Elordi, Kylie, and Chalamet spending time together in Hawaii and at events in Los Angeles. Now, a new report is suggesting things might be more complicated between the sisters.

According to an anonymous insider who spoke to Page Six, Kendall’s romance has caused “some jealousy and frustration” for Kylie, because people in their circle reportedly see Kendall and Elordi as the couple more likely to marry first.

The source claimed Kylie is ready to get engaged and has made her hopes clear to Chalamet, though she reportedly hasn’t issued an ultimatum. The same insider described Chalamet as invested in the relationship but not yet ready to propose.

Meanwhile, Elordi was described as being fully committed to Kendall. Kylie and Chalamet were first linked in April 2023, making their relationship considerably longer than Kendall and Elordi’s.

It’s worth stressing that none of these claims have been confirmed by the Jenners, Elordi, or Chalamet. The report relies entirely on an unnamed source, and many fans are skeptical, with some replying online that the sisters are best friends who regularly go out together.

The family has pushed back on tabloid narratives before. In August, Brody Jenner responded to a separate report about Kendall and Elordi’s relationship by calling it clickbait on Instagram.

Fans have also been quick to read into recent moments. When Kendall didn’t publicly comment on Kylie’s surprise Victoria’s Secret runway appearance, some social media users speculated about a feud, though Kendall had been photographed with Elordi at a gala the night before.

Whatever the truth about the sisters, Kendall and Elordi do appear to be getting more serious. Several outlets have reported that she introduced him to Caitlyn Jenner, a rare move given how private Kendall has historically kept her love life.

Elordi also joined Kendall’s family for a lake house getaway in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, according to Hola. Sources have described her family as welcoming and happy to see Kendall so relaxed.

Still, neither Kendall nor Elordi has publicly addressed the relationship on social media. That fits Kendall’s long-standing preference for keeping her romances off reality TV and out of the spotlight.

The actor’s career has been just as busy as his love life. Elordi won Best Supporting Actor at the Critics’ Choice Awards for ‘Frankenstein’, starred alongside Margot Robbie in ‘Wuthering Heights’, and recently returned to the big screen in ‘The Dog Stars’. For now, any sibling tension remains firmly in the realm of rumor. Until the Jenners speak for themselves, fans will likely keep reading into every outing and social media post.
