Jacob Elordi has been Kendall Jenner’s plus one at the recent fashion weeks. Kendall closed the Bottega Veneta show in Milan the other day. In the fashion community, this is a flex. It’s the positioning, being the final model down the runway, but it’s also the house. Bottega Veneta is now Louise Trotter, who was coming into the creative director position last year after it was vacated by Matthieu Blazy who took Bottega to a whole new level before he left for Chanel.

Louise’s first collection for Bottega Veneta a year ago, during a season of so many creative changes across so many houses, was ranked near the top or even at the top of all the debuts – it was an undisputed smash hit. And she’s followed up all the expectations she set herself with another ecstatically received collection for Bottega this time… with Kendall as the closer. A great day for her, not so great of a day for those who hate her family.

As for Jacob, he was her boyfriend fanboy in the front row.

From there they were onto Paris. Kendall opened the L’Oréal Paris show last night. And the two of them leaving dinner is what went viral afterwards. There’s a fanbase for this couple, the people who ship them are into the visuals. These are the visuals that they’re popping off over.

My favourite response to this description is the person who posted that Jacob is trying to be Tom Holland, LOLOLOL. There are layers and layers to that shade.

But it does seem that this is the most… enthusiastic Jacob’s has appeared to be in a relationship. And through the years we have seen him consistently and constantly monogamous, from Joey King to Zendaya (briefly) to Kaia Gerber to Olivia Giannulli. With Kendall though, it’s another degree of public, and performance. She, obviously, is delighted about it – and her mother must be the most delighted – but Jacob isn’t exactly complaining about the smoke either.
