I only started paying attention to Jacob Elordi as a stand-alone actor in the past year. I realize that Euphoria fans knew his name years ago, plus fans of The Kissing Booth movies. I remember hearing about him when he was dating Kaia Gerber, circa 2020-21 as well. As it turns out, he’s been cutting a wide swath through 20-something celebrity women. There was the Kaia Gerber romance, which lasted for more than a year. Before that, he dated Zendaya and before Z, he dated Joey King. In recent years, he’s had an on-and-off thing with Olivia Giannulli, famously one of the “students” involved in the huge college admissions and SAT fraud. Olivia is Lori Loughlin’s older younger daughter, and Olivia only attended USC for a year before she was (likely) expelled in the wake of all the fraud. Olivia is still around – she’s a YouTuber/influencer and, yeah, obviously she was banging Jacob Elordi for a while. Now it’s over!
Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli have called it quits again, Us Weekly can confirm. The pair were first spotted together in December 2021, one month after Elordi’s split from Kaia Gerber. The following May, Us confirmed that Elordi, 26, and Giannulli, 24, were dating.
“They both got out of relationships recently, so they’re not rushing into anything serious,” a source told Us at the time, referring to Elordi’s romance with Gerber, 22, and Giannulli’s August 2021 split from Jackson Guthy. “So far it’s going well and there’s sparks between them.”
Elordi and Giannulli parted ways in August 2022, with a source telling Us at the time that Elordi was “not looking for a serious relationship at the moment” although he and Giannulli “enjoyed spending time together.” The breakup didn’t last long, though. The twosome were seen walking around Los Angeles together in September 2022, and their public outings continued over the next several months. As reconciliation rumors swirled, a source told Us in June 2023 that Elordi and Giannulli were getting along great.
“They’ve been getting close again the past month or two and have traveled together quite a bit,” the insider shared. “This month they’ve been to New York and decided to go to Italy to get away from it all.”
Interesting… it doesn’t actually sound like they were committed to each other whatsoever? Like, a lot of breakups and backslides, hangouts and vibes, but never a move to say “this is serious, this is real!” Anyway, I’m interested to see who Jacob dates next, because you know she’ll be super-famous. Incidentally, I loved him in Priscilla. He did an amazing job as Elvis and I was shocked by how well he did the Elvis voice.
PS… right after everyone talked about how Jacob and Olivia broke up, there were seen together in New York. Whoops, looks like they’re back on! For now.

What a world we live in. Olivia friggin Jade is now a celebrity? It took me a minute to remember that she is famous because her awful parents paid to manufacture a whole azz persona of her to get her into USC. And this person posted a vid saying she wants to go to college just to party, When I recall how the good citizens of Cali were so outraged over affirmative action back in the 90s and voted to end it, this Olivia Jade controversy makes me realize that there are other forms of affirmative actions that just don’t receive the same attention. And even after exposure, some of the recipients go on to dancing with the stars and acquire celebrity status.
white supremacy is the original affirmative action. funny how no white person ever complains about that……
Good point, Moi and Proud Mary. One of my favorite books titled When Affirmative Action Was White.
Legacy admissions and coming from a wealthy background remain forms of racial preference.
No way this is going to last much longer. He’s blowing up and will be working like crazy. I can definitely see him having a Paul Mescal or Timmeé style low-key slut era for the next little while.
He has more chemistry with Barry Keoghan than any of the women he’s dated, tbh.
This. Totally agree.
Oliva looks like a cheaper version on Kayak an maybe all the evil shit he had to do as his character in Euphoria stuck and he’s doing that thing of; in a twisted way he gets to do with/to her all the things he couldn’t with his ex
She’s pretty scary looking.
She jacked her face so young, I wonder what the implications will be as she ages. Her problem. School might have helped her with critical thinking, but….
I really hope those pictures have some kind of filter on them because yikes.
Her mom went to jail for nothing. Olivia had no desire to go to college and learn anything. She already knew what she wanted to do.
This dude is such a nothingburger to me. I don’t get the hype. AT ALL. And I really don’t get the hype after seeing Saltburn. Where he had zero sex appeal or screen presence to justify Barry Keoghan’s character’s obsession with him.
I oscillate between thinking he is absolutely gorgeous (he was gorgeous in saltburn) and thinking he looks like an overgrown, awkward puppy and not in a good way. All the Cheaty McCheaterson rumors and the fact that he was so pretentious in his recent interviews has made me like him much less. He seems to be buying his own hype, which is never good.
You can be physically attractive and still be a charisma vacuum with no screen presence.
Totally agree, @Ameerah M. You’re right, and that’s the case with him. I think it’s really his hair in saltburn that I loved. 😁 I love a big shaggy head of hair on a guy. Jacob was just a vessel for the hair.
SO pretentious. He’s not that big a star at all, nor with critical plaudits to compensate,to get an attitude about the movies he’s done and the movies he won’t at this point.
Right?!
He’s very pretty, but Barry Keoghan acted circles around him and was just so more interesting!
Marvel really needs to do Eternals 2 or just use Barry’s character in a movie asap. Dude is hot right now. An Oscar nom last year and a pretty likely one this year. Plus some other interesting projects coming up.
Sarah Haley Finn, marvels casting director, really is unsung hero.
Between his pretentious career comments and rumours he’s a cheating cheater I’m not on the JE train. Funny how Kaia has dated both Elvis’.
Cynical take– what if , for publicity sake, the break up rumors were generated so that Olivia Jade could be in the news. Just a thought. Their relationship really does not make headlines for whatever reason. Will she get more business this way?
Very possible since getting attention is essential to her brand. Another possibility maybe getting ahead of cheating allegations as in “we were on a break”.
Olivia is the youngest daughter not the oldest.
I first known of JE because of the first KB movie. It was his first role here in the US which after that, his career certainly took off and now he’s everywhere and getting many roles(he just hosted SNL yesterday). I liked him and then after his comments on KB, I thought he is really ungrateful.
I’m glad Joey King and TZP countered his statements, both their careers have also taken off after KB and are grateful. I remembered discussing with one of the commenters in this forum, and it’s possible JE could’ve been bitter with his breakup with Joey King(I love her and her sister. She did comment after her relationship with JE she didn’t want to date anymore actors and she’s now married with a Non-actor).
