The Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi Rumor Mill Lands in Tokyo
Now, a breakthrough. Portraying the couple at their best were not paparazzi, fans, or photographers hired for red carpets and covers, but cooks, waiters, and caterers.The first selfie was shared on the Instagram profile of Udon Shin, a restaurant in Tokyo. Jenner and Elordi sport matching looks, both in casual black t-shirts.The comments filled up with well wishes and surprise: “this is how i found out they’re dating???”; “the restaurant just made it official”; an imagined conversation between the two: “Hey babe do you wanna go to Hawaii for the beach and then get noodles in Japan after?”Then it was time for Seirinkan, another restaurant that shared photos with the two stars. In one they pose together with the owner of the restaurant; in the other they chat amiably with him.Again, the comments section filled up: “this is actually boots on the ground journalism !!” and “they are so aesthetically pleasing together.” There was no shortage of questions as to the authenticity of the images, with onlookers wondering if artificial intelligence had been used.In 2026, it seems, confirmations about the romantic status of celebrities may come even from those who prepare a special lunch for them!Originally published in Vanity Fair Italia.
