According to a source who spoke to Page Six, the tropical getaway marked a turning point in the relationship between the supermodel and the blockbuster actor.

“Kendall really didn’t expect to be this into him this fast, but Hawaii kind of changed everything,” the insider said. “They got super close on that trip, and it definitely made their connection stronger. It’s becoming a lot more serious than she expected.”

The report comes after weeks of growing speculation surrounding Kendall, 30, and Jacob, 28, who have been seen together on several occasions in recent months.

The outing quickly drew attention online because it marked one of the most public group appearances involving Kendall and Jacob since romance rumors began circulating.

According to sources, Kendall has enjoyed spending time with her younger sister while getting to know the men in their lives together. The insider also said Kylie has become supportive of the rumored relationship.

Timothée Chalamet and Jacob Elordi Already Knew Each Other

While the public focus has largely centered on Kendall and Jacob, sources say Timothée and Jacob already had a connection before the romance rumors began.

“Oscar nominees Chalamet and Elordi already know each other and were friendly before Kendall and Jacob were getting close,” a source said. “They spent a lot of time around each other during the award season and naturally run in similar circles.”

The source added that the actors share a similar approach to fame and public attention. “They have the same attitude when it comes to fame,” the insider continued. “They’re both actually pretty low-key. They like to stay out of the spotlight when they can. They have a lot of respect for each other.”

That shared mindset appears to have helped the group connect easily despite their massive celebrity status.

Kylie and Timothée have also largely kept their relationship private since first being linked in 2023.

Over the years, the pair have appeared together at awards shows and private vacations while avoiding excessive public exposure around their personal lives.

According to the source, Kylie has already spent time around Jacob and reportedly approves of him. “She really likes him,” the insider said. “She’s excited Kendall is spending time with him.”

Romance Rumors Began Earlier This Year

Reports linking Kendall and Jacob first gained traction earlier this year after rumors circulated about the pair spending time together during Coachella.

In April, PEOPLE confirmed that the two had been “hanging out and getting to know each other the last couple months.” At the time, the outlet reported that the relationship was still in the early stages.

Since then, the pair have continued appearing together publicly, with the Hawaii getaway becoming the latest development to intensify speculation.

Although neither has spoken publicly about the relationship, their repeated outings have fueled ongoing interest from fans and entertainment media.

Both Stars Have High-Profile Dating Histories

Kendall and Jacob have each been involved in several widely followed relationships over the years.

Before the recent rumors surrounding Jacob, Kendall was most recently linked to rapper Bad Bunny. The two dated on and off between 2023 and 2024.

Prior to that relationship, Kendall dated NBA player Devin Booker for two years.

Jacob, meanwhile, most recently dated Olivia Jade. The pair were involved in an on-and-off relationship beginning in December 2021 and were last seen together publicly in January 2026.

The actor has also previously been linked to Kaia Gerber, Zendaya, and Joey King.

Despite their high public profiles, both Kendall and Jacob have historically kept their romantic relationships relatively private. That pattern appears to be continuing as speculation around their relationship continues to build.

For the moment, however, Kendall and Jacob seem content keeping details of their personal lives private while continuing to spend time together behind the scenes.
