Model Kendall Jenner and actor Jacob Elordi were spotted on a date night at Manpuku Japanese BBQ in West Hollywood on Tuesday.
The couple attempted to keep a low profile during their outing, with Jenner walking several steps ahead of Elordi as they entered the venue.
Jenner, 30, wore a satin tank top with lace trim paired with dark navy denim jeans for the evening. Elordi, 29, matched her casual aesthetic in a similar pair of dark navy denim jeans, an oversized white T-shirt and a baseball cap.
Manpuku Japanese BBQ is a popular dining spot among young Hollywood celebrities. Kylie Jenner, Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber have all been seen eating at the West Hollywood restaurant on previous occasions.
Date Night in West Hollywood
During their dinner, Jenner and Elordi appeared to be deep in conversation while sitting at a secluded table inside the eatery.
After finishing their meal, Elordi clutched his car keys in hand as the pair made their way out of the restaurant to his vehicle.
The Australian actor was more than happy to drive as the couple departed the celebrity hotspot together.
Jenner walked several steps ahead of her actor boyfriend in an effort to avoid drawing unnecessary attention from onlookers.
Elordi faithfully trailed behind the model as they navigated through the West Hollywood venue.
The outing comes as the high-profile couple continue to spend time together following months of international travel.
Coachella Kiss and London Penthouse Stay
Jenner and Elordi first went public with their romance in April when they were glimpsed passionately kissing at the afterparty for Justin Bieber's Coachella performance. Sources claimed in April that the pair were "making out and all over each other" while attending Bieber's Coachella afterparty, via Deuxmoi.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held annually in California, has long been a gathering spot for celebrities and performers. Bieber's performance afterparty provided the setting for the couple's first public appearance together after being set up by Jenner's younger sister Kylie Jenner.
In the intervening months, their romance saw them visiting Hawaii and Japan together. The couple went viral on TikTok after fans shared footage of them holding hands while walking in Tokyo.
The couple also traveled to London for the premiere of Elordi's new film The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic Ridley Scott picture also starring Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce. Their trip included a glamorous dinner at upscale restaurant Cipriani with Elordi's father John Elordi, followed by the red carpet event for the movie on Thursday.
During their stay in the United Kingdom, Elordi reportedly booked the $82,000-a-night penthouse suite at famous London hotel Claridge's for himself and Jenner in a bid to impress her. "Jacob's a proper romantic and he wanted Kendall to have that amazing view over London where you can see the stars," an insider told The Sun, adding that "the upgrade was worth the money."
Matchmaking by Kylie Jenner
Although the couple went public in April, an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail that they had been dating "as far back as early February" thanks to a spot of matchmaking from Kendall's sister Kylie Jenner.
At that stage, Jenner's boyfriend Timothée Chalamet was running a best actor Oscar campaign for his turn as an underground ping pong champion in Marty Supreme. Meanwhile, Elordi was also nominated for a string of awards for his role as the monster in Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Frankenstein.
"Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothée's award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothée was nominated for Marty Supreme," the source explained to the Daily Mail.
"Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothée," the insider shared.
The insider divulged that Jenner's house served as the main gathering place for their group. "Kenny's house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there," the source expanded, noting that "Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob... there was chemistry."
Earlier Sightings and Romance History
Jenner and Elordi were previously seen in rapt conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Hollywood in March, leading to a burst of romance rumors from fans. By May, they were seen drinking rosé together on a beach in Hawaii.
Elordi's dating history includes Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade, who rose to infamy in the college admissions scandal, as well as Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber and his The Kissing Booth co-star Joey King.
Meanwhile, Jenner, a fashion model represented by The Society Management, dated musician Bad Bunny for about a year before splitting up in late 2023. The pair rekindled their romance briefly in 2024 before going their separate ways again. Jenner also previously developed a reputation for dating a string of NBA heartthrobs, including Blake Griffin, Devin Booker and Ben Simmons.
