Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner Celebrate Birthday in Australia

is preparing to celebrate his 29th birthday back on home soil with new girlfriend by his side. 

The star, who recently holidayed with Kendall, 30, in , is reportedly gearing up to fly to Australia this week ahead of his birthday on Friday. 

While it's unclear how exactly the couple will celebrate Jacob's big milestone, it's likely they will stay at the actor's secluded rainforest estate in the hinterland. 

It comes as insiders say things are getting 'serious' between the genetically-blessed couple, with Kendall reportedly seeing a future with the Aussie star. 

'They're just in that phase where they want to do everything together and things have gotten pretty serious,' a source told Page Six. 

Meanwhile, a source exclusively told the Daily Mail that Jacob loves being around her celebrity pals like Justin and .

He also thinks her sisters - Khloe, Kim, Kourtney and Kylie - are pretty interesting. 

'He is thrilled with her social circle, which he has called "impressive" because it's all heavy hitters,' the source said. 'It's one big name after another. Jacob is starstruck for sure.'

He is especially impressed with Jenner's billionaire half-sister , 45, who he 'thinks the world of and respects lots' because of her companies like SKIMS and her moves in the acting world.

It seems a far cry from the 'LA brats' his ex-girlfriend Giannulli surrounds herself with, according to our insider.

Giannulli, 26, the daughter of Full House actress and fashion designer , dated the actor on and off for four years before officially calling it quits.

And, according to the source, while Jacob 'loves Giannulli to pieces and they're still friends,' he had a hard time with her group.

'When he was with Olivia, their circle was a bunch of LA brats who liked to party,' the insider said. 'Olivia is great, she is a nice girl, but a lot of her friends are privileged, they are kind of a snobby bunch.' 

By contrast, Jenner's circle 'is much more elevated.'

'Everyone is focusing on IPOs and how to become a billionaire,' the source said. 'It's a new level and he is thrilled. In Kendall's camp, everyone helps each other out.'

And Jenner's mother, Kris, 70, is especially keen to be a good friend to Jacob.

'Kris is always like, "How can I help make you richer? I have contacts,"' our insider added. 'And she really does. It's pretty seductive to have all that support.'

It also helps that Kris has billionaire Jeff Bezos, 62, and Lauren Sanchez, 56, as friends.

'Those two are a phone call away,' said the source.

'They make things happen, and before you laugh, just remember who controlled the Met Gala this year,' they added, referencing how the couple co-chaired the 2026 Met Gala. 'Jeff makes things happen and so does Lauren.'

The two have been friends for many years.

One of the first times they were seen together was in late February 2022, in Paris. Then, they both attended the same Bottega Veneta spring/summer fashion show in September 2024.
