Kendall Jenner and her boyfriend Jacob Elordi were spotted together in Japan once again on Tuesday. The 30-year-old supermodel and the 28-year-old Australian-born actor were seen at the renowned restaurant The Seirinkan, where they conversed with some of the staff members.
Tokyo Dining Spots
The Tokyo venue is a highly popular establishment known for serving Italian cuisine, such as Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta, while playing hit songs from The Beatles. Jenner wore a pale yellow semi-sheer silk suit that buttoned up the front, with her hair tied in a ponytail, while Elordi opted for casual attire, including a backwards baseball cap. The couple flanked Susumu Kakinuma, who has been dubbed 'the godfather of Tokyo Style Pizza' on Instagram. On Monday, they had been spotted enjoying noodles at the counter of Udon Shin.
Inseparable Couple
The stars appear to be inseparable these days. Prior to their Tokyo trip, they were seen at Jenner's ranch in Montecito, and before that, they vacationed in Hawaii and attended Coachella together. This comes after a source exclusively told the Daily Mail that Elordi loves being around her celebrity pals, including Justin and Hailey Bieber. He also finds her sisters—Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, and Kylie—quite interesting.
'He is thrilled with her social circle, which he has called "impressive" because it's all heavy hitters,' the source said. 'It's one big name after another. Jacob is starstruck for sure.' He is especially impressed with Jenner's billionaire half-sister Kim Kardashian, 45, whom he 'thinks the world of and respects lots' because of her companies like SKIMS and her ventures in the acting world.
This seems a far cry from the 'LA brats' that his ex-girlfriend Olivia Jade Giannulli surrounds herself with, according to the insider. Giannulli, 26, the daughter of Full House actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, dated the actor on and off for four years before they officially ended things. While Elordi 'loves Giannulli to pieces and they're still friends,' he reportedly struggled with her social circle.
'When he was with Olivia, their circle was a bunch of LA brats who liked to party,' the insider said. 'Olivia is great, she is a nice girl, but a lot of her friends are privileged, they are kind of a snobby bunch.' By contrast, Jenner's circle 'is much more elevated.' 'Everyone is focusing on IPOs and how to become a billionaire,' the source added. 'It's a new level and he is thrilled. In Kendall's camp, everyone helps each other out.'
Family Support
Jenner's mother, Kris, 70, is especially keen to be a good friend to Elordi. 'Kris is always like, "How can I help make you richer? I have contacts,"' our insider said. 'And she really does. It's pretty seductive to have all that support.' It also helps that Kris has billionaire Jeff Bezos, 62, and Lauren Sanchez, 56, as friends. 'Those two are a phone call away,' said the source. 'They make things happen, and before you laugh, just remember who controlled the Met Gala this year,' they added, referencing how the couple co-chaired the 2026 Met Gala. 'Jeff makes things happen and so does Lauren.'
Relationship Timeline
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jenner and Elordi for comment. The two have been friends for many years. One of the first times they were seen together was in late February 2022 in Paris. Then, they both attended the same Bottega Veneta spring/summer fashion show in September 2024. Next, they were pictured inside the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, where they were photographed standing face-to-face during an intimate conversation. However, they weren't linked romantically until they were seen kissing at Justin Bieber's Coachella after party. More recently, the pair have been seen together in Hawaii as well as in Montecito, where Jenner owns a $23 million equestrian estate. In April, the Daily Mail learned they started dating earlier this year. 'They were an item as far back as early February, so it's been a while,' our source said. '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.'
