In November 2021, People reported that Jacob Elordi ended the romance with his then-girlfriend Kaia Gerber. The split came only months after the two made their debut as a couple on the red carpet of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ opening gala. A month after the breakup, the Priscilla actor was photographed on a coffee date with Olivia Jade Giannulli (via Daily Mail).

At that time, Giannulli had separated from her on-off boyfriend Jackson Guthy. While their romance rumors ran for months on several media outlets, their relationship status was confirmed by a source to Us Weekly only in May 2022. The source shared that both Elordi and Giannulli got out of their relationships recently and were not looking to rush things. The source told Us Weekly:

“They both got out of relationships recently, so they’re not rushing into anything serious. So far it’s going well and there’s sparks between them.”

Their ‘casual dating’ did not last much longer as the couple ended their relationship only a few months later in August 2022. An insider close to the couple broke the news to Life & Style Magazine, sharing that, while they enjoyed spending time together, they were never officially in a committed relationship. According to the source, Giannulli was relishing her single status while the Deep Water actor remained focused on advancing his career. The insider told Life & Style:

“They were never official but have gotten close earlier this summer and enjoyed spending time together. Olivia’s having fun being single! [Elordi is] in full force work mode and really focused on his career. He’s not looking to jump into anything serious at the moment.”

Surprisingly, a month after their breakup, the duo was spotted together in public in Los Angeles (via E! News). In June 2023, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that they had indeed reconciled their relationship. Olivia Jade Giannulli, a YouTube influencer, is the daughter of Full House actress Lori Laughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli.
