It was confirmed in late July 2023 that Jade Giannulli and Jacob Elordi were exploring their connection again. In early June, they were seen together in Paraggi, Italy, and in July, they spent time in Idaho with Giannulli’s parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli. A source told People, “They are 100 percent going strong. [It’s] getting serious.” Regarding their many trips, the source added, “Jacob had to leave early to fly back to Australia, but they looked like they had a great time together. They are a really cute couple.”

### Breakup Rumors and Reconciliation

Breakup rumors surfaced in January 2024, although TMZ reported at the time that they were still together. After facing breakup reports again in 2025, a source told People in September that the pair was “seeing each other again.” However, the reconciliation didn’t last long—People reported their breakup in late October 2025.

### Background on Jade Giannulli

The former Dancing With the Stars contestant was born into show business. Her mother, Lori Loughlin, starred in the sitcom classic *Full House*, and her father, Mossimo Giannulli, is a fashion designer. Jade started a YouTube channel and Instagram page in high school, which now each have over a million followers.

At 24 years old, she was somewhat notoriously enrolled at the University of Southern California; the conditions of her admission were later found to be doctored. An application suggested she was invested in competitive rowing, which was not true. Her parents allegedly bribed the admissions board as well. She faced considerable criticism on social media but seems to have recovered and retracted her comments on Instagram.

### How Long Have Elordi and Giannulli Been Dating?

Their first noted public appearance together was a coffee date in Los Angeles in late December 2021. Giannulli had broken up with boyfriend Jackson Guthy a few months earlier, while Elordi had ended his relationship with model Kaia Gerber about a month prior. An insider told People at the time that they were “casually dating,” although a second source denied it.

The couple split in August 2022 but appeared to be seeing each other again almost a year later. They continued to date on and off over the years but reportedly broke up for good in August 2025.

### Who Else Has Jacob Elordi Dated?

Jacob Elordi has dated his *The Kissing Booth* co-star Joey King. There were rumors about him and Zendaya dating as well, though neither has confirmed a romantic relationship. Additionally, he was with Kaia Gerber in 2021.

### Public Appearances Together

The couple has kept most of their relationship private, but on November 16, 2023, they attended the GQ Men of the Year party. They posed separately on the red carpet, but paparazzi photos suggested they left around the same time.

### Speaking About Each Other

Neither Elordi nor Giannulli has publicly spoken about their relationship in interviews. During a November interview, Elordi was asked about his romantic life but declined to answer, saying, “but I appreciate you giving me the space.”

### Relationship Status in Early 2024

The couple had not been photographed together frequently early in 2024, but a witness told the celebrity gossip outlet DeuxMoi on January 3 that they were still dating. However, on January 17, Us Weekly reported that Elordi and Giannulli had split once again, though no details were disclosed.

The following day, TMZ contradicted the breakup report, stating that sources with direct knowledge confirmed they were still together. Giannulli was reportedly with Elordi in New York City as he rehearsed for his *Saturday Night Live* hosting gig on January 20. According to SNL production sources, Giannulli was seen near NBC Studios and Elordi’s dressing room. After the show, the pair attended an afterparty together and were photographed leaving in the early hours.

During that event, Elordi wore a large black peacoat over olive green cargo pants, a graphic white T-shirt, a baseball cap, and leather boots. Giannulli wore a white fur coat, ultra high-heeled black boots with black stockings, a small black clutch, and gold earrings.

### Why Didn’t Elordi Take Giannulli to 2024 Awards Season Events?

A source told *The Messenger* in January 2024 that although Us Weekly had reported a breakup, the couple was “still very much together and going strong.” The source explained, “There was never a split. Jacob has been very busy with work commitments but they have managed to still spend time together in between and the relationship is going well. They both enjoy keeping their relationship more private. Jacob likes keeping his work separate and you will most likely not see them together in a public forum.”

### Relationship Status in Fall 2024

The couple appeared to still be together in fall 2024. E! shared photos of them attending a birthday party for Giannulli’s older sister, Bella, at Beverly Hills’ Funke restaurant on September 16. Giannulli was seen embracing Elordi in one shot. She wore a leather jacket, corset top, and jeans, while Elordi also wore a leather jacket paired with a green baseball cap, white T-shirt, and light-green pants.

Later in September, on the 28th, the couple vacationed on a yacht in Sardinia, Italy, with Jade’s parents and her sister Isabella. Elordi was pictured wearing black swim trunks, and Giannulli sported a purple bikini. The group enjoyed swimming, lounging on the deck, and having drinks. They were reportedly celebrating Giannulli’s 25th birthday. Giannulli shared a TikTok video showing her preparations and the beautiful Italian scenery.

### Breakup in 2025

On August 7, 2025, People confirmed that Giannulli and Elordi had ended their relationship. The news followed shortly after Giannulli posted a vlog about her move to Paris, describing it as the start of a “formative” time in her life.

### Reunion at the Toronto International Film Festival

Despite their breakup, Elordi and Giannulli were photographed together on September 8, 2025, at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Elordi’s new film, *Frankenstein*. Images shared on social media showed them walking side by side into the Princess of Wales Theatre, sparking reconciliation rumors.

A week later, on September 13, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that they were “on again.” “They have been on and off for many months and recently reconnected in NYC. They aren’t putting a label on it but are trying to see if the relationship will work again,” the source said. According to the insider, the couple never “fully closed the door” on their relationship and share a “deep-rooted love.”

Both are said to be making more of an effort this time to prioritize each other, approaching things with more maturity, taking it slow, and seeing where it goes. The source added that despite being on and off, they still talk all the time and remain close friends. Giannulli’s family reportedly likes Elordi, and they share the same circle of friends.

### Public Appearances During *Frankenstein* Press Tour

During the press tour for *Frankenstein*, Giannulli and Elordi kept their relationship out of the spotlight. Elordi appeared on his own and alongside co-stars Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth at the BFI London Film Festival premiere. Giannulli was not photographed at the film’s Los Angeles and Paris premieres earlier in October.

### Final Breakup in October 2025

On October 28, 2025, People confirmed that Giannulli and Elordi had split after their brief reconciliation. A source told the outlet, “It’s fully over. They are not getting back together.” The insider also shared that Giannulli is “fine about the Jacob split,” but “she’s more upset about what’s going on with her father.”

Earlier that month, on October 3, People reported that Giannulli’s parents were separating after 28 years of marriage. In the following weeks, additional reports stated that Lori Loughlin feels “betrayed” by Elordi and that her friends are “very angry” with him, though specific details have not been disclosed.
