Kaia’s circle wouldn’t be complete without Jacob Elordi, aka the Internet’s favorite tall, brooding snack. They met on the set of The Kissing Booth 2 (yes, that movie) and somehow stayed friends despite the sheer awkwardness of their characters’ romance. Rumor has it they bond over being too famous for their own good and swapping tips on how to avoid paparazzi while buying organic kale.
But wait, there’s more! She’s also tight with Maya Hawke (daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, because apparently nepotism is a superpower). Maya and Kaia are the kind of friends who attend red carpets together, then ditch the after-party to get tacos in their pajamas. Shockingly wholesome, right?

You might expect models to only hang out with other models, but Kaia’s group includes rapper and singer Lil Yachty. Yes, the guy with the braids and the infectious “Minnesota” high notes. They’ve been photographed laughing at Lakers games and apparently bonded over a shared love of bad reality TV. “She’s one of the most down-to-earth people I know,” Yachty once said, which is high praise from a guy who dates mermaids of his own imagination.
Then there’s Olivia Rodrigo. You know, the girl who makes entire generations sob over high school breakups. They’ve been spotted at dinner parties, and I like to imagine them having intense conversations about the meaning of life, then immediately pivoting to whether pineapple belongs on pizza. (Spoiler: it does not, and Olivia would write a heartbreaking ballad about you if you disagreed.)
