Kris Jenner is reportedly trying to persuade Jacob Elordi to appear on the family's reality series, The Kardashians, despite the actor's alleged reluctance to become involved in the programme or the Kardashian-Jenner brand.

According to a source who spoke to In Touch, Jenner wants to get to know her daughter Kendall Jenner's boyfriend better but continues to encourage him to participate in the show.

The source claimed that Kendall has repeatedly told her mother that Elordi does not want to appear on the series.

"Kris just can't seem to help herself," the source said. "No matter how many times Kendall tells her that Jacob wants nothing to do with being on the show or being a part of the family brand, she keeps pushing."

The source also compared Jenner's approach to Elordi with her efforts to involve Kylie Jenner's boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, in the programme.

According to the source, Jenner believes filming scenes about the couples' relationships would be a way to promote the show, but has so far been unable to convince Chalamet.

The source described the 29-year-old Wuthering Heights star as polite towards Jenner but suggested he was uncomfortable with her repeated requests. "He's not going to be rude to his girlfriend's mother, but it's pretty obvious he's annoyed," the source claimed.

The report also recalled previous claims that Kendall, 31, had threatened to leave the family's reality series if Jenner or anyone else mentioned or alluded to Elordi on the programme.

The source added that Elordi is a film actor rather than a reality television personality, suggesting that Jenner's attempts to involve him in the show have not been well received. Neither Elordi nor Jenner has publicly commented on the reported situation.
