Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi join Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet on double date

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi further fueled romance rumors over the weekend after joining Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet for a double date in Los Angeles. The group was photographed leaving a private party on May 16, with Elordi driving while Kendall rode in the front seat as Kylie and Chalamet sat together in the back. Rumors surrounding Kendall and Elordi first emerged last month after reports claimed the pair appeared affectionate at Coachella following a party hosted by Justin Bieber. According to recent reports, the two have quietly been dating since February, with Kylie allegedly encouraging the relationship after spending time with Elordi during awards season events attended alongside Chalamet. Sources claim Kylie encouraged Kendall to pursue the actor, helping move the pair out of the “friend zone” despite having known each other for years. Indeed, when you're a wealthy celebrity and everyone wants something from you, it's probably pretty difficult to find authentic relationships. This is why many high-profile singletons rely on their friends and family to set them up with someone they might click with. Naturally, they usually pair like with like, or, in this case, celeb with celeb. An astonishing number of the most famous couples out there were grown from a blind date arranged by a mutual friend!
