Jacob Elordi Is ‘Very Sincere’ With Dating Kendall Jenner, Wants to Be With Her ‘All the Time’

Things that make you go hmmm. Jacob Elordi dropped out of the famed Cannes Film Festival, claiming he’d injured his foot. But at the same time that he would have been sitting on the fest’s jury in France, the Saltburn star, looking healthy, was spotted sipping rosé from the bottle with Kendall Jenner on a beach in Hawaii. And there were no crutches in sight when the 28-year-old was seen after a double date with Kendall and her sister Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet a few days later in L.A.

Maybe it’s love. An insider tells Star that after months of a “friends with benefits” situation, the Wuthering Heights star and the model, 30, have taken things to the next level. “He wants to be with her all the time and is very sincere,” the source says of the Aussie actor. Even, apparently, at the cost of his professional reputation. Says the insider, “Skipping Cannes was a real head-scratcher. He could easily have gone and met up with Kendall afterwards.”

Meanwhile, some around Kendall are warning the reality star that the 6-foot-5 actor — who’s dated Kaia Gerber, 24, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26, among other beauties — can be a heartbreaker. “She’s aware of his reputation,” says the insider. “She’s vowed to stay grounded.”

She may have to work at it. With previous boyfriends such as NBA player Devin Booker and rapper Bad Bunny, Kendall was able to keep her love life fairly low-key. But dating an Oscar-nominated, hot young actor brings things to a whole new level of fame. Lucky for her, sis Kylie has three years of experience with that. Says the insider, “She’s giving Kendall advice on what comes with dating a movie star.”
