However, an insider stated that their relationship had already been established before the event. “They have been together for a couple of months already, and it’s going well.”

The source added, “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.”

The report also suggested that Kylie Jenner played a role in bringing the two together. According to the same source, “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.”

The insider continued, “Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny, so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already.” It was also claimed that Kendall Jenner initially hesitated, as she “was not sure if she wanted to keep him in the friend zone or not.”

Further details indicate that early interactions occurred in private settings, including gatherings at Jenner’s home, where the pair reportedly spent time together with close friends. “And Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry,” the source said.

Public sightings have increased in recent weeks, including their appearance at Coachella and previous events such as the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The relationship, previously private, is now gaining wider attention as more details emerge.
