Kendall Jenner may have found someone who has her thinking about forever.

The supermodel is reportedly getting increasingly serious about her relationship with Jacob Elordi, and sources say she can actually picture the Euphoria star as her husband.

Kendall Can See a Future With Jacob

“Kendall really does see Jacob as husband material,” a source told Page Six. “She’s dated great guys and had serious relationships before, but this is the first time she’s thought, ‘I could actually marry this person.’”

That reportedly means a lot coming from Jenner, 30, who has never appeared particularly interested in rushing into marriage simply because she reached a certain point in her life.

According to the insider, there’s something about Elordi, 29, that feels more mature and grounded to her.

“She knows this has the potential to be something really significant in her life,” the source said. “She feels like she’s met someone who is really on her level and can meet her where she is.”

Her Loved Ones Are Apparently Big Fans

Jenner’s family and close friends are also said to be happy about the romance, with the source claiming Elordi has seamlessly become part of her world.

“Kendall’s family and friends really couldn’t be happier for her,” the insider said. “Jacob just fits into her life so easily and everyone has welcomed him with open arms.”

The actor is also reportedly treating Jenner well, with the source describing him as “such a gentleman” who makes the model feel comfortable and appreciated.

“They really complement each other,” the insider explained. “He has this calming presence about him that’s been really good for her. She seems very settled and at peace when she’s with him.”

This Relationship Feels Different

Although Jenner has had a handful of high-profile relationships, the source says her connection with Elordi stands out because of where she is in her life now.

“She’s at a place in her life now where she knows what she wants and she’s not interested in forcing something just for the sake of being in a relationship,” the insider said. “With Jacob, it feels very natural.”

That doesn’t mean the couple is already planning a wedding, however.

“They haven’t been together for years or anything, so nobody is getting ahead of themselves, but the connection is undeniable,” the source added.

Jacob Is Already Planning For Her Birthday

Elordi is reportedly matching Jenner’s feelings with plenty of thoughtful gestures of his own.

“Jacob is also incredibly thoughtful,” the source said. “He’s already been thinking about Kendall’s birthday and planning and shopping for her. He really pays attention to the little things and makes an effort, and that means a lot to her.”

Their Romance Has Been Heating Up

Jenner and Elordi first sparked dating rumors in February, and things reportedly moved pretty quickly from there.

“They’re just in that phase where they want to do everything together and things have gotten pretty serious,” a source previously told Page Six, adding that the pair have been “basically inseparable” since they started dating.

The couple recently gave fans their first major glimpse at their romance when they were photographed holding hands, marking their first public display of affection.

They’ve also been spending plenty of time traveling together. In June, Jenner joined Elordi in Australia for his 29th birthday.

Their inner circles have gotten some quality time together, too. In May, Jenner and her younger sister Kylie were spotted on a double date in Los Angeles with Elordi and Kylie’s boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.

Photos obtained by Page Six showed Elordi behind the wheel with Kendall riding shotgun, while Kylie and Chalamet sat in the back alongside their friend Renell Medrano.

More recently, Kendall and Elordi were spotted enjoying another date night at Little Mountain in Montecito.

For a couple that reportedly started out quietly, these two are looking increasingly comfortable making their relationship a little less low-key.
