Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Make Academy Museum Gala Debut Together
The pair, who have been romantically linked since February, were seen cozying up inside the event.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi attended the Academy Museum Gala together, marking a public appearance where they were seen interacting closely. Despite walking the red carpet separately, the model and the actor posed for a photo side-by-side at a table during the star-studded event.
Jenner wore a strapless black-and-white polka-dot Valentino dress, while Elordi sported a Bottega Veneta tuxedo with a black bowtie and sunglasses. They were later observed leaving an after-party at the Chateau Marmont together in the same vehicle.
Earlier in the evening, Elordi was seen filming Jenner as she posed for photographers before they entered the gala together. The couple has not publicly addressed their relationship but has been seen together on multiple occasions, including instances of public displays of affection.
In August, reports indicated that Jenner views Elordi as "husband material," with a source telling Page Six that this was the first time she had considered marrying a partner. The same source described Elordi as a "gentleman" who "treats Kendall incredibly well."
Despite the apparent seriousness of their relationship, a source indicated in October that they are "not rushing into something that serious." While Jenner was reportedly assisting Elordi in searching for a home in Los Angeles, there were no immediate plans for them to move in together.
Last month, Elordi was involved in an interaction with paparazzi in Paris, where he politely asked photographers to allow him and Jenner to walk without being photographed and to refrain from using flash. The couple has been linked since February and took a trip to Japan together in June.
