THE RUNDOWN
- Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi both attended the Academy Museum Gala on October 17.
- The pair arrived separately but shared sweet moments throughout the evening.
- Videos captured them together right after the carpet.
Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi gave fans a closer look at their romance at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala.
While the pair arrived on the carpet separately, videos from Saturday night’s event show them sharing affectionate moments behind the scenes, including a sweet reunion at the end of the step-and-repeat.
In one clip, Elordi meets Jenner at the end of the carpet and wraps an arm around her waist as Jenner reaches back to take his hand, offering a brief but tender moment. In another video, Elordi turns his iPhone camera on Jenner as she poses for photographers, capturing his own glimpse of the model in her gala look. It comes weeks after Elordi was seen taking photos of Jenner with his film camera as she walked Bottega Veneta’s runway during Milan Fashion Week.
The low-key pair also posed for their first official event photo together since reports of them dating broke.
For the occasion, Jenner wore a custom Valentino gown covered in polka dots, with the pattern extending across her bodice, skirt, and shoes. Elordi opted for a custom Bottega Veneta tuxedo and sunglasses.
Jenner and Elordi first sparked romance rumors in spring 2026 and have since been frequently spotted together on trips and outings with friends. Neither has publicly discussed their relationship.
Although they have yet to make their red carpet debut as a couple, their interactions throughout the evening offered a glimpse of their growing comfort together in public.
