After the box office failure of Jacob Elordi’s latest movie, some fans have wondered if his relationship with Kendall Jenner is to blame. People have long spoken about the “Kardashian Curse” when members of the Kardashian family date athletes and artists. Is the astrological compatibility between Elordi and Jenner worth the rumored career risks?

What is the Kardashian Curse?

The Kardashian Curse is an Internet theory that speculates that people fall into career or personal problems after a relationship with a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family. The sisters have dated many professional athletes, and a number of them have suffered injuries or career slumps during or after their romantic relationships.

The non-athletes they’ve dated or married, including Scott Disick and Kanye West, have also found themselves at the center of controversy after their relationships.

In 2026, Kendall Jenner even joked about this in a Super Bowl ad. She has dated a number of professional athletes.

“Haven’t you heard? The internet says I’m cursed,” she said in a Fanatics ad. “Any basketball player who dates me kinda hits a rough patch.”

She joked that she makes her money by betting on sports.

What is the compatibility between Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner?

Elordi’s latest film, The Dog Stars, is his first since he began a relationship with Jenner. It has been a critical and box office bomb. It made just $8 million on its opening weekend on an $80 million budget. This has led some people to joke that he has been struck by the Kardashian Curse.

Though — according to Internet lore — Elordi’s career might be at risk, he may think it’s worth it given his high astrological compatibility with Jenner. Elordi, who was born on June 26, is a Cancer. Jenner, who was born on Nov. 3, is a Scorpio. These are both water signs, which makes them highly compatible. 

Both signs are deeply emotional and value close friendships. While Scorpios are a bit more private than Cancers, they both are relatively introverted. They’re also loyal and emotionally intelligent, which are important traits in a relationship.

They may face issues with passive aggression as both signs avoid direct confrontation. If they can learn to communicate, though, things can be smooth sailing between them.

Kendall Jenner’s family is reportedly worried about Jacob Elordi

Jenner and Elordi were first linked at Coachella. Since then, they’ve been spotted together many times. They’ve been on a number of trips throughout the globe. According to some reports, Jenner’s family feels concerned that she is footing the bill for all these trips. Her brother, Brody Jenner, cleared this up, though.

“I can confirm that this is clickbait,” he wrote on Instagram.
