Jacob Elordi’s latest look has fans doing a double take. The actor was sighted with a goatee for the first time while on a date with Kendall Jenner in Los Angeles.

The timing comes as Kendall and Elordi’s romance keeps making headlines in various ways, from reported concerns within her inner circle to Elordi meeting several members of her family.

Now, his new facial hair adds another twist to the conversation, giving fans something new to dissect as the couple’s relationship continues to progress.

Over the weekend, Elordi and Kendall enjoyed a low-key lunch date in Los Angeles. The “Euphoria” actor and the model were seen in coordinated, mostly black outfits, both wearing shades. 

Kendall wore black ballet flats, and Elordi opted for sand-colored slippers and a baseball cap with the brim backward. The outfits kept the outing casual, but the highlight was the Australian actor’s new facial hair as seen in photos obtained by E! News.

Elordi’s latest facial change comes after he was spotted donning a mustache in an appearance with Jenner in London.

The new look, however, did not take long to grab the attention of the internet, and inevitably led to comparisons with her ex-boyfriend, Bad Bunny. 

Many observed that Elordi’s facial hair was a lot like Kendall’s old boyfriend, Bad Bunny, who is known for his goatee. 

One fan went as far as asking, “Is he morphing into Bad Bunny?????” while another stated, “Kendall done turned him into Bad Bunny.”

A third user joked, “Bro had some Kendall, and now he has some sauce,” while this individual asked, “Soo is it just me or does he not look hella Mexican in this picture??”

The reactions added a playful twist to Elordi’s latest outing, especially given Bad Bunny’s place in Jenner’s dating history.

The Bad Bunny references come months after the Puerto Rican singer’s interaction with Jenner’s mother, Kris Jenner, and sister Kim Kardashian at the 2026 Met Gala.

As The Blast reported, upon seeing the momager at the fashion event, the former Super Bowl headliner proceeded to stretch his arm for a greeting.

However, rather than meeting the Grammy-winning artist with a full embrace, Kris decided to give him a side hug while patting him on the arm.

The polite but seemingly forced interaction became one of the most discussed incidents of the night, keeping the singer connected to the Kardashian-Jenner family conversation even after the end of his relationship with Kendall.

Nevertheless, Elordi and Kendall continue to blossom as a couple. However, their growing connection has reportedly attracted attention from the reality star’s inner circle, adding another twist to the story.

Last month, The Blast reported that Kendall’s loved ones were allegedly concerned that Kendall was spending too much time with Elordi and catering to him, including arranging luxury travel and private accommodations.

An insider close to the situation described Elordi’s interest in the model as “a drug to his ego,” while another source claimed some family members felt she was accommodating him too much.

Those claims, however, were challenged by Kendall’s brother Brody Jenner, who commented under a post on Instagram, writing, “I can confirm that this is clickbait,” alongside a thumbs-down emoji, emphasizing his displeasure.

However, despite the damaging reports, Elordi had already achieved another milestone with Kendall’s family. 

That developing connection to the Kardashian-Jenner clan takes on even more importance given that the model introduced Elordi to Caitlyn Jenner.

According to The Blast, Kendall privately introduced the actor to Caitlyn at her Malibu home in May, a move described by an insider as unusual because she does not usually do such things.

The meeting was reportedly kept casual and private.  “They hung out for a while one afternoon; it was not a big deal, it was super chill,” the insider added.

Elordi is also close to his own family, and getting to know both of Jenner’s parents was important to him, making the introduction another significant step in their relationship.
