Jacob Elordi was filmed confronting paparazzi during a date night with Kendall Jenner in Paris, asking them to stop taking photos as the couple tried to walk back to their hotel.
The sighting came shortly after Kendall opened the L'Oréal Paris runway show at fashion week in the French capital, where she wore a black naked dress with a high leg split. She had been joined on stage by celebrities including Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria and Céline Dion.
Paparazzi swarm couple on romantic stroll
As they stepped outside, the couple were swarmed by photographers. Elordi, dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers, was filmed looking protective of Kendall, shouting: 'Wait, wait, wait, can we just walk home?' followed by 'Stop, stop, stop.'
The moment was captured on camera and uploaded to social media, where it went viral. Despite Elordi's request, the paparazzi continued to photograph the pair, prompting him to say: 'Can we just walk home back to our hotel?' and 'No flash, just let us walk. Just let us go.'
Couple stays close amid camera flashes
Throughout the encounter, Kendall and Elordi kept their arms around each other, with Kendall using her other arm to cover her face. The 30-year-old model, who had changed into a grey V-neck dress and black kitten heels, appeared to ask their security which way to head. The pair crossed the road as cameras followed, before their security also said 'stop' and the video ended.
The ordeal did not appear to be too traumatic for the couple, as they were also filmed laughing together while walking hand-in-hand.
Fans react to viral video
Following the video's release, fans took to the comments section of a Paris-based celebrity fan account to share their support. One person said: 'I love them together,' while another wrote: 'Oh god I really love this couple.' A third called them 'Couple of the decade !!' and a fourth said: 'They are so dreamy.' Others described the couple as 'perfect.'
Many also commented on paparazzi culture. One person said: 'I feel bad for them not being able to be left alone and enjoy just walking around,' while another added: 'It must be so annoying to have people following you around and photographing you all the time. I'm glad I'm not famous lol.' Others described the moment as 'so intrusive' and said: 'Leave them alone.'
Relationship timeline
Jacob and Kendall reportedly started dating around February this year, after being allegedly introduced by Kendall's sister, Kylie Jenner, who is in a relationship with Timothée Chalamet. Romance rumours began circulating publicly in April 2026, after they were spotted getting close at a Coachella after-party.
In May, the pair were seen on double dates with Kylie and Timothée, before taking a trip to Hawaii. The rumours were officially confirmed in August, when Jacob and Kendall were photographed holding hands during a date night in London.
