Kendall Jenner and Nick Jonas have reportedly started dating, according to Us Weekly. The model and the singer have hooked up thanks to Jenner's friend Gigi Hadid, who is dating Nick's older brother Joe Jonas. Hadid and Joe introduced the pair with the hopes they would hit it off, and that's exactly what happened!
"Gigi wants Kendall around all the time," a source tells Us. "She thinks it would be fun for all of them to hang out."
The matchmakers invited Kendall and Nick separately to join them at the VIP lounge at Las Vegas' Hyde Bellagio on July 25, according to Hollywood Life. That night in Las Vegas the couple were "trying to encourage" a relationship between the two. The couples scheming paid off and now Jenner and Nick are getting to know each other better over text message. "They had a flirty chemistry from the start," says another source close to the "Jealous" singer.
"There is an obvious attraction. Nick absolutely thinks she's hot," the source says.
While theey be flirting via text, don't expect the new couple to go public anytime soon. "When they're ready and it turns official, we'll start seeing photos," adds another insider.
Last month Nick admitted to The Mirror that his brother and Hadid are trying to play cupid. "He has mentioned that a few times and so has Gigi," says Nick, 22. "We'll play it by ear. I wouldn't be opposed to it," Nick says of dating Jenner.
The timing of the hook up is perfect for Nick. He recently split from his girlfriend of two years, Miss Universe Olivia Culpo in June. "Nick was single and looking to date and there was an obvious attraction. He absolutely thinks she's hot," says the source.
