They were first linked after being seen talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March. Their subsequent outings have included:
- A public display of affection at Coachella in April
- Beach dates in Hawaii in May
- A trip to Japan in June
- Time with Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber in Idaho
- A Los Angeles double date with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet
- A hand-in-hand appearance in London on Aug. 20
The London outing added more material to the romance speculation, but still no statement from either of them. Apparently, holding hands can generate headlines but not an official relationship status.
Both have previously dated other high-profile figures. Kendall’s past relationships include musician Bad Bunny and basketball player Devin Booker. Jacob has been linked to Olivia Jade Giannulli, among others.
Why are they staying quiet about the speculation?
Their silence is consistent with how both have spoken about dating in the past. Jacob told Vanity Fair in 2020 that public attention can make genuine relationships harder to maintain.
“You want it to be genuine and real and have all the feelings of what you read in 1920s literature,” the Euphoria actor said. “But when people are watching and talking about it, it makes it a little bit difficult.”
Kendall has also generally kept her relationships private, despite belonging to a family whose personal lives have supported several television series and a small industrial complex of commentary.
In an interview with Vogue France published on Feb. 24, she said she entered 2026 prepared to accept whatever came next while keeping her priorities simple.
“The most important thing will be to stay true to myself and continue having a good time,” Kendall said. “It might sound like a cliché, but it’s very important to me.”
For now, the evidence amounts to frequent travel, affectionate public appearances and Brody’s firm rejection of one report about who is paying. The pair may be comfortable being seen together, but they appear considerably less interested in explaining the details.
