Jenner, Elordi Hold Hands at Academy Gala

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi drew attention at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala with affectionate moments, though they arrived separately and did not make a red-carpet debut as a couple. Videos showed Elordi photographing Jenner and putting an arm around her waist as she reached for his hand; photos from inside the event also showed them holding hands and sitting close together. Their coordinated black-and-white outfits included Jenner’s custom polka-dot Valentino gown and Elordi’s Bottega Veneta tuxedo. The pair have been linked since earlier in 2026 but have not publicly confirmed their relationship.
