Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi dating 'for a couple of months' after being set up by Kylie Jenner

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi have been together for "a couple of months" - and her sister Kylie Jenner set them up.

The 30-year-old model and the Wuthering Heights actor, 28, have known one another for years, but Kendall was said to be unsure whether their relationship should remain in the "friend zone" or not.

However, Kendall's sister Kylie turned matchmaker for the pair, after she spent lots of time around Jacob when her boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, was regularly rubbing shoulders with the Frankenstein star at various awards shows earlier this year.

A source told the Daily Mail: "They have been together for a couple of months already, and it's going well.

"They were an item as far back as early February, so it's been a while. 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.

"Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee [Chalamet's] award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme.

"Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny so she was like, 'Girl, get on it, date this guy already.' "

Kendall is said to have discovered she had "chemistry" with Saltburn star Jacob when they partied with Kylie and Timothée at her house.

The source added: "Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee.

"She thought it would be fun if she and Timothee and Kenny and Jacob all hung out together.

"Kenny's house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there."
