Olivia Jade (2021 - 2022, 2023 - present)
Elordi and Olivia Jade, the daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, were first linked in December 2021 after they were photographed on a date in Los Angeles. A source confirmed the relationship to People at the time. “Olivia and Jacob are casually dating,” the insider said.
If her parents’ names sound familiar, that’s because Lori and Mossimo were sentenced to two and five months (respectively) in prison for their part in the college admissions scandal in 2019. They lied about their daughter’s ability as a coxswain who would be an asset to the University of Southern California’s rowing team.
“I didn’t really 100 percent understand what just had happened,” she told the New York Times in 2020, referring to the scandal’s aftermath. “Because there was a lot that, when I was applying, I was not fully aware of what was going on.”
“I was definitely confused when this all came out,” she continued. “And I went and confronted them about everything. They didn’t really have much to say, except, like, ‘I’m so sorry. I, like, really messed up in trying to give the best to you and your sister.’”
A source also told Us Weekly in December 2021 that Elordi and Jade weren’t serious but “enjoying hanging out together.” The insider claimed that the two had “been on some dates” but were “keeping it casual” in regards to their relationship. The romance came after Elordi’s split from Kaia Gerber in November 2021 and Jade’s split from Jackson Guthy in August of that year. “They both got out of relationships recently so they’re not rushing into anything serious,” the insider said. “So far it’s going well and there’s sparks between them.”
In August 2022, Life & Style broke the news that while Elordi and Jade had “enjoyed spending time together,” they had called it quits. “They were never official but have gotten close earlier this summer and enjoyed spending time together,” the insider said at the time, adding, “Olivia’s having fun being single!” As for how Elordi was handling the breakup, the source said he was “in full-force work mode” and “really focused on his career.” They continued: “He’s not looking to jump into anything serious at the moment,” the insider continues.
After an eight-month break, Elordi and Jade were spotted acting affectionately toward each other, sparking rumors of a reunion (See the photos here). They apparently went to a car dealership together in Los Angeles on Monday and in the photos, you can see Elordi wrap his arm around Jade. They were also walking around SoHo, New York City in September 2023.
On January 15, 2023, many TikTokers found that Olivia Jade wasn’t following Jacob Elordi on Instagram anymore, and vice versa. However, Elordi doesn’t follow anyone on Instagram to begin with. Many fans took to social media to celebrate their supposed breakup. One fan took to TikTok to dance and cheer about the breakup with the caption “Olivia Jade unfollowed Jacob Elordi on Instagram.” One user posted on X, “guys jacob elordi broke up with his girlfriend, i have a chance”
However, multiple sources told People that Elordi and Jade were still together despite reports they’d split. This was seemingly confirmed when they were spotted canoodling at a Saturday Night Live party after he hosted the show for the first time.
“They were all over each other,” an insider told Page Six on January 22, 2024. “Per production sources … Olivia has been seen this week in and around 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and we’re even told Olivia’s been spotted near Jacob’s dressing room,” TMZ also reported.
