Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli have reportedly ended their on-again, off-again relationship, with sources confirming that this time, it's truly over. The couple, who have been linked romantically since late 2021, had previously broken up in August of this year, only to rekindle their romance briefly in September.
A source close to the couple told People magazine, "It's fully over. They are not getting back together". This definitive statement suggests a firm end to their romantic involvement after years of navigating an on-and-off dynamic.
Elordi, 28, and Giannulli, 26, initially sparked dating rumors when they were spotted together in Los Angeles in 2021, shortly after Elordi's split from model Kaia Gerber. While they maintained a relatively low profile throughout their relationship, they were seen vacationing together in Italy in June 2023, seemingly confirming their reconciliation after a reported split in August 2022. In July 2023, sources indicated that the couple was "getting serious".
Speculation surrounding their relationship status has been ongoing, with reports in January 2024 suggesting they were still going strong. More recently, Giannulli showed support for Elordi by attending the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his film Frankenstein in September. A video captured Elordi assisting Giannulli with her dress as they walked the stairs, further fueling reconciliation rumors. Just days later, on September 15th, a source confirmed they were "seeing each other again".
Despite the brief rekindling, the relationship has once again come to an end. Sources indicate that Giannulli is coping well with the split, with her focus primarily on her family, particularly her parents' recent separation after 28 years of marriage. "She's fine about the Jacob split, she's more upset about what's going on with her father," the source told People. Her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, have announced their separation.
Elordi, on the other hand, appeared to be in good spirits, attending Game Three of the World Series in Los Angeles. He was photographed enjoying the game alongside other celebrities.
Throughout their time together, Elordi and Giannulli were known for keeping their relationship private. This contrasted with Elordi's previous relationship with Kaia Gerber, during which they were more open, sharing photos on social media. Gerber also discussed their romance in an interview with Vogue.
While Giannulli navigates her family's situation, Elordi remains focused on his career and public appearances. The onetime couple's journey has come to a definitive close, with no anticipated reconciliation on the horizon.
