Jacob Elordi reportedly wanted to keep Kendall Jenner romance under wraps for one major reason

Elordi has a 'real disdain' for reality TV and is wary of being associated with the Kardashian-Jenner media machine

Jacob Elordi is reportedly determined to keep his rumored relationship with Kendall Jenner as private as possible, and insiders say his reasoning goes beyond simply avoiding the spotlight.

According to a source cited by OK! Magazine, Elordi has a “real disdain” for reality television and is wary of being associated with the Kardashian-Jenner media machine. The insider claimed the actor sees himself as part of “the artistic side of Hollywood,” focused on literature, film, and character-driven work, and does not want to be drawn into what was described as an influencer-driven world.

The pair first sparked dating rumors after they were reportedly seen getting close at Coachella 2026. While neither star has publicly confirmed a romance, reports suggest they have been spending time together and getting to know one another in recent months.

Despite his concerns about the attention that comes with Jenner’s famous last name, the source said Elordi admires her personally and wants to avoid the “cameras, scrutiny and assumptions” that would likely follow if their relationship became public.

Another insider claimed the Frankenstein star is eager to avoid the “celebrity-industrial complex” and believes he has more to offer than becoming a tabloid fixture.

For now, the rumored romance remains unconfirmed, but if reports are accurate, Elordi appears intent on keeping any connection with Jenner firmly out of the public eye.
