\u201cThey were an item as far back as early February, so it\u2019s been a while,\u201d a source told The Daily Mail in April. \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two reportedly got together thanks to a little pushing from Jenner\u2019s younger sister, Kylie Jenner, who, with her boyfriend Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, was running in the same social circles as Elordi.<\/p>\n
\u201cKylie was around Jacob a lot during Timoth\u00e9e\u2019s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timoth\u00e9e was nominated for Marty Supreme,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.\u201d<\/p>\n
The source added that Kendall \u201cwas not sure if she wanted to keep [Elordi] in the friend zone or not,\u201d but that Kylie pushed for more.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cKylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timoth\u00e9e,\u201d the source said. \u201cShe thought it would be fun if she and Timoth\u00e9e and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.\u201d<\/p>\n
