A tense episode shook the nocturnal tranquility of the French capital after the start of the Paris Fashion Week. Australian actor Jacob Elordi and American supermodel Kendall Jenner starred in an uncomfortable intersection with a group of paparazzi who did not stop harassing them with intense flashes as the couple tried to walk back to their hotel.
The percussion was recorded in several videos spread through social networks and published by media such as Page Six. In the images, the 29-year-old actor is seen tightly holding the model’s hand while trying to advance among the crowd of photographers.
Faced with the insistence of the cameras, the actor of “Euphoria” decided to slow the passage and directly confront the photographers to ask for distance. “Wait, wait, wait... Can we just walk home?” expressed Elordi visibly upset.
In response to the lack of immediate response from the photographers, he added: “Stop, stop. They already have the photo. Can we go back to our hotel?
For her part, Kendall Jenner, dressed in an elegant autumn set, avoided at all times eye contact with the camera lenses, protecting her face with her hands to avoid flashing. The couple had a private security team, but the insistence of the riot made the journey through the streets of Paris difficult.
The incident occurs amid the model’s tight agenda in the gala capital, where she recently opened the parades for high-profile firms like L’Oréal.
Although neither of the two has officially confirmed the status of their relationship before the press, they have been seen together since the beginning of the year at events such as the Coachella Festival, consolidating as one of the couples most pursued by international media.
The reactions on the internet did not wait. Hundreds of followers praised the Australian actor’s gentle and protective attitude to media harassment, while reopening the debate on the limits of show journalism and the right to privacy of celebrities in public spaces.
