Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi gave fans a better look at their relationship at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala, even though they kept things separate on the actual carpet.
Separate arrivals, shared moments after
Video from the October 17 event showed the two reuniting just past the step-and-repeat, with Elordi wrapping an arm around Jenner's waist as she reached back for his hand. In a separate clip, Elordi turned his phone on Jenner as she posed for photographers, echoing a moment weeks earlier when he was spotted shooting her on film during Bottega Veneta's Milan Fashion Week show.
A first official photo, after months of rumors
The appearance marked the first official event photo of the two together since dating speculation began. Jenner wore a custom Valentino gown covered in polka dots that carried through the bodice, skirt, and shoes, while Elordi wore a custom Bottega Veneta tuxedo with sunglasses.
Still not a red carpet debut, but close
Jenner and Elordi first drew attention as a couple in spring 2026 and have since turned up together on trips and group outings, without either of them addressing the relationship directly. They have not yet walked a red carpet together as a couple, but the comfort on display Saturday night suggested that might not be far off.
