Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade’s Relationship Timeline
Jacob Elordi, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in “Euphoria” and “The Kissing Booth,” and influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli have officially ended their relationship, PEOPLE confirmed in August 2025. The breakup marks the conclusion of an often tumultuous, on-again, off-again romance that spanned nearly four years, first sparking public interest in December 2021.
The Beginning: December 2021 — Spotted for the First Time
Their journey began quietly in the aftermath of high-profile relationships for both. Just one month after Elordi’s split from supermodel Kaia Gerber in November 2021, and several months after Giannulli’s breakup with Jackson Guthy, the duo was first spotted together. On December 19, 2021, paparazzi captured them stepping out for coffee in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, with Elordi photographed walking his golden retriever, Layla. The casual outing, where they were seen dressed in sweats, immediately ignited romance rumors.
However, the initial reports were met with conflicting narratives. Just two days after their public debut, on December 21, 2021, sources provided contradictory accounts to PEOPLE regarding their relationship status. While one insider suggested they were “casually dating,” another firmly stated, “They are not dating.” Representatives for both Elordi and Giannulli remained silent on the matter at the time.
May 2022 — Becoming “Officially Dating”
Despite the early ambiguity, their connection appeared to grow. By May 11, 2022, they were photographed again, enjoying time with their dogs in a Los Angeles park, a seemingly casual yet recurring activity throughout their relationship. Later that month, on May 24, 2022, Us Weekly reported that Elordi and Giannulli were “officially dating.” A source close to the couple informed the outlet that they were “not rushing into anything serious” given their recent past relationships but acknowledged undeniable “sparks between them.”
August – December 2022 — The First Split and Reconciliation
The couple’s first reported split occurred in August 2022. Us Weekly again broke the news, citing an insider who revealed Elordi was “completely focused” on advancing his burgeoning acting career, while Giannulli was “living it up” with her friends. Yet, their separation proved to be short-lived. Just one month later, on September 23, 2022, they were seen together once more at a Los Angeles dog park with Layla. This pattern of public sightings after reported breakups continued into December 2022, when The Daily Mail captured photos of the pair bundled in oversized sweatshirts and wearing bandanas during another morning outing at a dog park.
Mid-2023 — Italy Vacation, Family Trips, and Getting Serious
By mid-2023, their relationship seemed to take a more serious turn. In June, they were spotted out and about in Soho, New York City, with The Daily Mail snapping photos of Elordi in a face mask and Giannulli in shades as they navigated the bustling city streets. Days later, around June 12, 2023, the couple embarked on a romantic vacation to Italy, where they were photographed soaking up the sun on a beach in Paraggi, near Portofino, and later enjoying a moped ride through the town. The following month, in July 2023, Elordi joined Giannulli and her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, for a trip to Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. A source told PEOPLE that “Jacob had to leave early to fly back to Australia, but they looked like they had a great time together,” adding, “They are a really cute couple.” This series of events culminated on July 25, 2023, when PEOPLE officially confirmed that Elordi and Giannulli were “officially back together” and, according to a source, were “getting serious.”
Early 2024 — Continued Public Presence and Sardinian Getaway
Their commitment appeared to solidify into early 2024. Despite ongoing speculation about their status, PEOPLE confirmed on January 18, 2024, that the couple remained together. They were spotted in New York City shortly before Elordi’s highly anticipated “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut, showcasing a continued public presence. Their bond was further highlighted in September 2024, when they once again vacationed in Italy, this time in Sardinia, enjoying a day on a yacht with Giannulli’s parents, as captured in photos obtained by PEOPLE.
Summer 2025 — The Final Split
However, the summer of 2025 brought the definitive end to their relationship. On August 7, 2025, a source exclusively confirmed to PEOPLE that Elordi and Giannulli had broken up. The news followed Giannulli’s own revelation in a July 2025 YouTube vlog that she had moved to Paris and planned to live there “for a bit,” hinting at new ventures. “I’m hopefully launching my business at the end of this year,” she shared at the time, indicating a shift in her focus.
Throughout their four-year public journey, Elordi’s dating history has included several former costars, such as Joey King from “The Kissing Booth” and Zendaya from “Euphoria.” Giannulli was previously linked to Tyler Greenwald before her relationship with Jackson Guthy. The recent breakup marks a new chapter for both stars, as they navigate their respective careers and personal lives following their on-and-off romance.
