How Jacob Elordi connects Kendall Jenner and Margot Robbie

Model Kendall Jenner, 30, and actor Jacob Elordi have travelled together to Australia, Hawaii and Japan, and a source told PEOPLE in July that her family had taken to him. Elordi spent the winter on a global press tour for Wuthering Heights, in which he played Heathcliff opposite Margot Robbie.

Robbie and Jenner have been photographed at the same shows and parties since 2016 without ever working together. Elordi is what connects them now.



Do Kendall Jenner and Margot Robbie know each other?

Nothing public points to a friendship. Neither has spoken about the other in an interview, and they have never worked on the same project.

The overlap is a matter of who gets invited where:

  • 18 February 2016. Both sat front row at the Calvin Klein Collection show at Spring Studios in New York, alongside Zoรซ Kravitz. Robbie wore a long mustard coat over a white roll neck. Jenner wore a white sleeveless top with cream trousers. Vogue wrote up all three for their pared back styling.
  • March 2018 and March 2024. Both attended Vanity Fair’s Oscar party, in different years and different company.
  • September 2025. Robbie wore a 1998 Thierry Mugler gown to the New York premiere of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Jenner had already worn the same reissued design in a L’Orรฉal Paris campaign.
  • 6 October 2025. Both went to Matthieu Blazy’s first show as artistic director at Chanel, at the Grand Palais in Paris. Robbie, a Chanel ambassador since 2018, wore midnight blue and sat beside Pedro Pascal. Jenner wore black tweed with a burgundy bag. Harper’s Bazaar reported that more than 2,000 guests flew in for it.
  • 4 May 2026. Both were photographed at the Met Gala after parties.

Margot Robbie produced Wuthering Heights

Robbie, 36, took a producer credit on the film as well as the lead role of Catherine Earnshaw.

Warner Bros lists the producers as Josey McNamara, Emerald Fennell and Robbie. Her husband, Tom Ackerley, is an executive producer. The film comes from LuckyChap Entertainment and Lie Still for MRC.

LuckyChap is Robbie’s own company. She founded it in 2014 with Ackerley and McNamara, and it has I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn and Barbie behind it.

Elordi had worked there before. He played Felix in Saltburn in 2023, cast by Kharmel Cochrane, who also handled casting on Wuthering Heights. Fennell wrote and directed both films.

So Robbie’s company gave him two jobs. The second was the male lead in an adaptation of Emily Brontรซ’s novel, shot in Yorkshire and released by Warner Bros on Valentine’s weekend.

How Elordi got from the film to the Vanity Fair party

Wuthering Heights premiered at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on 28 January 2026 and opened wide on 13 February. It took around 242 million dollars worldwide against a budget of 80 million.

His awards run was happening at the same time. In late January the Academy nominated him for Best Supporting Actor for playing the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which Netflix had released the previous November. “I am beside myself,” he told The Hollywood Reporter on the day the nominations came out.

By March he had that nomination, a film still in cinemas and six weeks of press behind him. He and Jenner were both at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party, and the pictures from that night started the speculation. The two were seen together at Coachella in April.

The promotion for the film leaned heavily on how close its two leads had become.

Robbie told the Today show that Emerald Fennell had small shrines built in each actor’s dressing room, with locks of the other’s hair and candles, to keep the intimacy going between takes. She called the idea “unhinged”. Elordi said he was taken with her by the third day of filming, and both described the working relationship as codependent. At the London premiere on 5 February, he was photographed shielding her from the rain.

Robbie has been married to Tom Ackerley since December 2016. They met in 2013 on the set of Suite Franรงaise, where he was a third assistant director, and their son was born in late 2024. Elordi’s relationship with Olivia Jade Giannulli ended in October 2025, several months before he was first linked to Jenner.

Wuthering Heights reached streaming on 31 March. Jenner and Elordi are still together, five months on from that party in Los Angeles.

He moved to London from Stockholm in 2018 and cut his teeth covering business, politics, entertainment, and breaking news across Europe, which gave him a front-row seat to how traditional newsrooms were struggling to adapt. He studied journalism at Uppsala University and later trained at the Reuters Institute, but most of what he knows about running a newsroom came from years of watching what worked and what didn't. He still reports on UK politics, celebrity news, sports, technology, and European affairs when he's not editing, and he's building Daily News Magazine around the idea that speed and accuracy don't have to be enemies.
