Kylie Jenner might have had a hand in uniting one of this year's most surprising romances. Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi broke headlines earlier this month, after they were spotted at Coachella together. The pair, who'd been stirring rumors of a romance for the past couple of weeks, seemingly confirmed the online theories during Justin Bieber's set on his first weekend as the festival's headliner, with the duo huddled close as they watched Bieber's set next to Kylie and Timothee Chalamet.

Kendall and Elordi have been dating for the past two months, as reported by the Daily Mail. The outlet claims Kylie pushed for the relationship, even though Kendall and Elordi had known each other and had been friends for the past couple of years, being photographed on trips together.
"They have been together for a couple of months already, and it's going well," said a source. "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 source claims that Kylie played a key role in the development of the romantic relationship, with her and Chalamet spending a lot of time with Elordi over the course of awards season, where both men were nominated for Oscars for their work in "Marty Supreme" and "Frankenstein."
"Kylie liked him and thought he would be good for Kenny, so she was like, girl, get on it, date this guy already," said the source. They claim that Kylie usually tends to get her way, with her being the most dominant sister.

"Though Kylie is younger, she is really the leader between those two, she has dominant Leo energy for sure, while her sister is more casual."
Kendall and Elordi have yet to confirm the relationship with the media or to address it on social media, but the gossip account DeuxMoi claimed that various onlookers saw the pair kissing at Bieber's Coachella after party.
