Expert Reads Trust in Jenner and Elordi’s New York Date

Earlier in the coffee outing, Honigman said, the pair walked in sync. “When Jacob’s right foot leads, so does Kendall’s, and when his head turns a little to the side, hers also turns at the same angle and direction,” she told The Blast by email. She described this mirroring as a sign of how close their bond appeared to be.

In photos from the stoop, Elordi rested a hand on Jenner’s knee as she wrapped her arms around him. Honigman said their intertwined posture suggested they were at ease together, adding that she saw “a strong bond of trust” and devotion. In another image, Elordi had an arm across Jenner’s body. Honigman interpreted the gesture as shielding her from attention, and pointed to their close positioning and eye contact as further signs of intimacy.

The pair’s New York weekend also included a Saturday performance of Paranormal Activity at the August Wilson Theatre. TMZ footage showed Elordi leaning toward Jenner during intermission as she laughed. The next morning, they went for coffee and sat on the stoop.

Jenner and Elordi had been seen together before dating rumors surfaced. They were photographed with friends in Paris in 2022, and Elordi reportedly attended Jenner’s birthday party that year. They were seen talking at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2026; sightings around Coachella followed in April. A source told PEOPLE in spring that they had been getting to know each other privately for months. In May, they were spotted in Kauaʻi, and later sightings included Los Angeles with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, and Tokyo in June. In September, Elordi was seen taking photos at Bottega Veneta’s Milan Fashion Week show as Jenner walked the runway; they were later spotted in Paris after her L’Oréal show.
