Jacob Elordi, Kendall Jenner Fuel Dating Rumours as Pair Look Close on London Night Out

Reality star Kendall Jenner and actor Jacob Elordi were spotted leaving a West London restaurant together on Saturday night, adding fresh fuel to months of dating reports surrounding the pair. The latest sighting came during a string of public outings in the capital, with the pair photographed together outside The River Cafe.

The pair first sparked romance speculation earlier this year after being spotted together at Coachella. Their reported relationship has since attracted increasing attention as they have been photographed together during trips and outings in several countries.

The high-profile duo travelled to the English capital as Elordi promoted his latest film. The actor attended the world premiere of The Dog Stars on Thursday at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. The post-apocalyptic Ridley Scott thriller also stars Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley.

A Lavish Transatlantic Getaway

Reports suggest Elordi spared little expense during the pair's stay in London. The actor reportedly booked a penthouse suite at Claridge's in Mayfair, with The Sun reporting that the accommodation cost £60,000 (approximately $82,000) a night.

An unnamed source claimed the actor 'wanted Kendall to have that amazing view over London.' The reported booking has not been independently confirmed by Jenner, Elordi or the hotel.

Their British itinerary was not limited to their hotel and the film premiere. The pair were photographed heading to Cipriani for dinner on Wednesday evening, where they were joined by Elordi's father. Vogue also reported the outing.

Saturday evening provided a more casual setting for the pair. Jenner wore a fitted black top with matching jeans and flats, while keeping her dark hair pulled back into a simple ponytail.

The Frankenstein star opted for a similarly understated look, wearing a classic white T-shirt paired with dark trousers. Their latest appearance followed several London outings that have kept their reported romance firmly in the spotlight.

How the Romance Reportedly Began

Reports surrounding the origins of the relationship have also suggested that Jenner's younger sister, Kylie Jenner, played matchmaker. Sources have claimed Kylie encouraged her older sister to get to know the Australian actor after spending time around Elordi during awards season.

The matchmaking effort reportedly began around February, when Kylie was frequently around Elordi while supporting Timothée Chalamet during awards season. Chalamet was promoting his performance in Marty Supreme.

Meanwhile, Elordi was promoting Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein at various awards ceremonies. Reports have claimed Kylie believed her sister and Elordi would get along and encouraged the connection. Neither Jenner nor Elordi has publicly confirmed that account of how they met.

Their increasingly public appearances have since taken them far beyond Los Angeles. The pair were spotted together in Hawaii and Japan, while Vogue also reported that Jenner travelled with Elordi to Australia.

Navigating Intense Public Scrutiny

Both Jenner and Elordi have previously had high-profile relationships that attracted considerable media attention. Jenner previously dated Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny, with the pair's on-and-off relationship generating widespread coverage.

She has also been romantically linked to several professional basketball players, including Devin Booker, Blake Griffin and Australian NBA player Ben Simmons.

Elordi has similarly had several relationships play out under intense public scrutiny. His past partners include model Kaia Gerber and actress Joey King. He also had an on-and-off relationship with Olivia Jade Giannulli.

Jenner and Elordi have increasingly appeared together in public since first sparking romance reports earlier this year. Their London outings are the latest in a series of sightings that have included Hawaii, Japan and Australia.

The pair appeared relaxed despite photographers waiting outside the West London restaurant. While their increasingly frequent appearances have strengthened reports that they are a couple, neither has publicly detailed the status of their relationship.
