Looks like Kendall Jenner and Nick Jonas may have a mutual friend to thank!
According to multiple reports, Gigi Hadid recently played matchmaker between her model BFF, 19, and the musician, 22, and the pair has been hitting it off ever since.
Gigi is coupled up with Nick’s older brother, Joe, and decided to play cupid because she “wants Kendall around all the time,” a source told Us Weekly.

“She thinks it would be fun for them to all hang out,” the source said of Gigi’s plans. “They are all going to end up hanging out regardless, so it seems like a simple situation, which could be a lot of fun.”
Another insider told the mag that Kendall and Nick “had flirty chemistry from the start,” and that the “Jealous” singer was ready to move on after his two-year relationship with former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo fizzled in June.

“Nick was single and looking to date and there was an obvious attraction. He absolutely thinks she’s hot,” the source said.
Gigi reportedly “reintroduced” Kendall and Nick at a Las Vegas party on July 25, and the reality star and the performer are now “getting to know each other better over text,” according to Us.
Evidence of the new romance, however, is expected to be kept under wraps during its early stages.
“When they’re ready and it turns official, we’ll start seeing photos,” an insider said.
