Jacob Elordi, 23, and Kaia Gerber, 19, have made headlines as their relationship blossomed during the coronavirus pandemic. Elordi and Gerber originally sparked romance rumors toward the end of summer in 2020 after being seen out several times.
The couple officially debuted their relationship in late 2020 on Instagram, showing off their couple Halloween costumes. The private couple has been dating for almost a year now and is still going strong.
Elordi previously dated his Kissing Booth co-star Joey King, which ended in 2018. In late 2019, the Euphoria actor was romantically linked to his co-star Zendaya. The two kept their relationship very private, and their breakup was not known until news of Elordi and Gerber dating came out.
Gerber is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and American businessman Randy Gerber. Before her romance with Elordi, she previously dated Pete Davidson, which ended in early 2020.
