Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi share sweet moments at gala

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have sparked fresh excitement among fans after sharing affectionate moments at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles.

The pair attended the star-studded event on October 17, arriving separately but appearing together in several videos captured during the evening. Their interactions offered a glimpse into their reported romance, which has attracted growing public attention in recent months.

In one video, Elordi approached Jenner at the end of the red carpet and wrapped an arm around her waist. Jenner responded by reaching back to hold his hand, creating a brief but intimate moment that caught fans’ attention.

In another clip, the actor was seen using his iPhone to photograph Jenner as she posed for photographers in her glamorous outfit. The moment recalled an earlier occasion when Elordi was spotted taking pictures of the model during Bottega Veneta’s runway show at Milan Fashion Week.

The gala also marked their first official event photograph together since reports of their relationship emerged.

Jenner wore a custom Valentino gown featuring a polka-dot design that extended from her bodice and skirt to her shoes. Elordi complemented the occasion in a custom Bottega Veneta tuxedo paired with sunglasses.

Romance rumours surrounding the pair first emerged in spring 2026. Since then, they have reportedly been spotted together on trips and social outings with friends. Neither has publicly confirmed the relationship.

Although they have yet to make an official red-carpet debut as a couple, their latest appearance has fuelled further speculation about their connection, with fans closely following their increasingly public interactions.
