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.
