Jacob Elordi may be one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising stars, but insiders say even the “Euphoria” actor has found himself dazzled by the elite world surrounding rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner.
As the pair continue fueling romance speculation with appearances from Coachella to Hawaii, sources claim Elordi has become increasingly fascinated by Jenner’s billionaire inner circle, powerful industry connections, and high-profile family.
According to insiders, the Australian actor has embraced the Kardashian-Jenner orbit in a way few expected, and it is already opening major doors for his future.
Jacob Elordi has worked alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment, but according to insiders, Kendall’s social circle has still left him “starstruck for sure.”
A source told the Daily Mail that Elordi has been especially fascinated by the high-profile names surrounding the supermodel.
“He is thrilled with her social circle, which he has called ‘impressive’ because it’s all heavy hitters,” the insider said, adding, “It’s one big name after another. Jacob is starstruck for sure.”
Recently, the 28-year-old has been spending time with Kendall’s inner circle, including Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, as well as Hailey and Justin Bieber.
Insiders say Elordi is especially impressed by Kendall’s billionaire half-sister, Kim Kardashian, whom he “thinks the world of and respects lots” because of her success with SKIMS and her expanding acting career.
The source suggested that being welcomed into such a powerful social world has been exciting for the Hollywood star, especially as his own career continues to grow.
Elordi’s New World Is A Far Cry From Olivia Jade’s Circle
According to the insider, Jacob Elordi sees a sharp difference between Kendall’s social environment and the crowd surrounding his ex-girlfriend Olivia Jade Giannulli.
Elordi and Giannulli dated on and off for four years before eventually calling it quits in October 2025.
While the source stressed that the “Frankenstein” star still “loves Giannulli to pieces and they’re still friends,” they claimed he struggled with aspects of her social group.
“When he was with Olivia, their circle was a bunch of LA brats who liked to party,” the insider alleged, further noting, “Olivia is great, she is a nice girl, but a lot of her friends are privileged, they are kind of a snobby bunch.”
On the other hand, Kendall’s social world is reportedly much more business-focused. “Everyone is focusing on IPOs and how to become a billionaire,” the source explained. “It’s a new level and he is thrilled. In Kendall’s camp, everyone helps each other out.”
Jacob Elordi Reportedly Wins Over Kris Jenner And Her Powerful Network
Another major factor impressing Elordi is reportedly Kris Jenner’s eagerness to support him professionally.
According to the insider, the Kardashian matriarch has made it clear she is willing to help elevate his career beyond acting.
“Kris is always like, ‘How can I help make you richer? I have contacts.’ And she really does. It’s pretty seductive to have all that support,” the source claimed.
The insider also pointed to Kris’s friendships with billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, saying, “Those two are a phone call away.” They added, “They make things happen,” while referencing the pair’s involvement with the 2026 Met Gala.
The source further noted the reality TV star’s close ties to major fashion figures, including Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, Olivier Rousteing, and Tommy Hilfiger.
Meanwhile, Kendall herself has longstanding relationships with luxury brands such as Calvin Klein and Gucci, creating even more opportunities for Elordi as he navigates the fashion world.
Elordi Could Be Headed Toward A Huge Modeling Payday
According to insiders, Kendall Jenner has already started encouraging Jacob Elordi to expand his modeling work into something much more lucrative.
While the actor has modeled before, the source claimed Kendall believes he should aim much higher.
“Kendall suggested Jacob model more as a lucrative side gig and she and her mom have all the contacts in the world,” the insider said.
They also noted that Kris could make it happen with one call, adding, “So it looks like Jacob will have a huge side income now.”
The source added, “He has already modeled a lot but she is telling him to go to the big league for the big bucks.”
Jacob Elordi And Kendall Jenner’s Romance Has Been Building For Months
Although Elordi and Kendall have only recently been linked romantically, insiders say their connection has been quietly building for quite some time.
One of the first times they were seen together was in Paris in February 2022, when they spent time with Luka Sabbat.
They later attended the same Bottega Veneta spring/summer fashion show in September 2024 before being spotted together again at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, where they were photographed in an intimate face-to-face conversation.
Romance rumors truly intensified after the pair were seen kissing at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty. Since then, they have reportedly spent time together in Hawaii and Montecito, where Kendall owns a $23 million equestrian estate.
In April, reports revealed that the two had already been dating for months. “They were an item as far back as early February, so it’s been a while,” the insider said, adding, “It helps that they have both been in Los Angeles a lot for the past couple of months, it has really given them time to bond.”
The source also revealed Kylie played matchmaker. “Kylie was around Jacob a lot during [Chalamet’s] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothée was nominated for Marty Supreme,” the insider explained.
