Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner cemented their status as one of Hollywood’s hottest new couples with a PDA-packed after-dinner display this week.
The actor, 28, and the supermodel, 30, who recently enjoyed a romantic break to Hawaii, looked smitten as they headed out in Santa Barbara in matching black outfits on Sunday.
Euphoria star Elordi couldn’t keep his hands off Jenner as he placed an affectionate hand on the back of her neck as they waited for their car.
The Oscar nominee was also pictured wrapping an arm around the reality star as they chatted with friends.
A casual Elordi gave Jenner his full attention as they stared into one another’s eyes – while their romance becomes increasingly public.
Earlier this month the new couple were seen drinking rose on the beach in Hawaii – marking their first public sighting together since news of their relationship emerged.

They were later seen on a giddy double date with Jenner’s sister Kylie, 28, and her boyfriend of three years and Oscar nominee, Timothee Chalamet, 30.
Jenner and Elordi were first romantically linked after they were seen ‘making out and all over each other’ during Justin Bieber’s post-show party at Coachella last month – with a source telling the Daily Mail that Kylie had played matchmaker.
‘Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee [Chalamet’s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme,’ the source revealed.
‘Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee.’
Jenner and Elordi have been friendly for years. Elordi attended Jenner’s 2022 birthday bash and they were seen locked in conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in March.
The latter followed Elordi’s Best Supporting Actor award loss (for his role as the creature in Frankenstein) at the awards ceremony.
Elordi has been linked to a slew of love interests over the years, each with varying degrees of fame. He memorably dated his The Kissing Booth co-star Joey King for a year before their relationship ended in 2018.
He then moved onto Euphoria co-star Zendaya – with the pair seen kissing in early 2020.

For her part, Jenner has enjoyed a string of famous boyfriends, including professional athletes Devin Booker and Ben Simmons, as well as rapper Bad Bunny.
