Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner have fuelled fresh dating speculation after the pair were photographed together in Los Angeles alongside Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, days after reports linked them to a holiday in Hawaii.
Images circulating online from 16 May showed the group travelling together in a car after attending a Fanatics event in the city. According to photographs published by entertainment outlets and reposted widely on social media, Elordi appeared to be driving while Kendall Jenner sat in the front passenger seat. Kylie Jenner and Chalamet were seated in the back alongside photographer and longtime Kardashian-Jenner associate Renell Medrano.
The outing renewed speculation that Elordi and Kendall may now be officially dating following months of rumours linking the pair. Neither has publicly commented on the speculation.
Hawaii, Coachella Sightings Intensify Speculation
Speculation surrounding Elordi and Kendall has grown in recent months after the pair were reportedly seen together at several public events and private outings.
Fans first began discussing a possible relationship after they were spotted speaking together during the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March. Similar rumours resurfaced during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, where attendees claimed the pair appeared close during Justin Bieber's performance.
TMZ also recently reported that Elordi and Kendall were seen spending time together in Hawaii, further intensifying discussion surrounding the pair before the Los Angeles appearance.
In April, Elordi and Kendall had been reportedly 'spending time together' for several months following speculation linked to Coachella and other public appearances earlier this year.
