Does Jacob Elordi Have A Girlfriend? A Definitive Dating Timeline

When Jacob Elordi said “I am not who you think I am” in Saltburn, he might have been talking about his dating history. Because while he tends to play brooding, dangerous boys with secrets (Euphoria, Priscilla, The Kissing Booth, take your pick), Elordi’s real-life romances are surprisingly consistent – and just as compelling.

From on-set romances to blink-and-you’ll-miss-it flings, his love life reads like a crash course in Gen Z It Girls. And yes, he really did date both Joey King and Zendaya, as well as Kaia Gerber, before his current rumoured flame, Olivia Jade Giannulli.

Now, as the collective interest in Elordi’s love life switches into the next gear thanks to his upcoming series The Narrow Road To The Deep North, all eyes are on the tall, dark and handsome actor and his rumoured new(ish) flame.

Let’s take a stroll down the Jacob Elordi girlfriend memory lane, shall we?

Olivia Jade Giannulli

If you’re wondering if Jacob Elordi has a girlfriend or who he might be dating now – then the answer is yes, and it’s Olivia Jade Giannulli.

The YouTuber, influencer, and daughter of actress Lori Loughlin, has been romantically linked to Jacob since late 2021. At the time, the relationship came as a surprise to fans who knew Olivia best for her role in the 2019 college admissions scandal (aka Operation Varsity Blues), while Jacob was riding high off the success of Euphoria and The Kissing Booth franchise.

Despite their seemingly opposite worlds, the two quietly dated for several months, splitting in 2022 before reuniting in mid-2023. Since then, Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade have been spotted together on multiple occasions – whether it’s grabbing green juices in LA, vacationing in Italy, or enjoying long dog walks in their activewear.

They’re yet to go red carpet, or even Insta-official, but their pap shots have been consistent enough to confirm their couple status, as far as everyone can tell.

According to People, they’re reportedly “100 per cent going strong” and are “happy together,” while neither have publicly commented on their budding romance, sources say that the pair first bonded over their shared experiences with fame and media scrutiny.

And if you’re wondering whether Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade are still together? As of now, all signs point to yes, with Giannulli officially taking the title of Elordi’s longest relationship. Could Olivia Jade be endgame? That’s between Jacob, his publicist, and the next A24 script that lands in his lap.

Kaia Gerber (2020–2021)

Jacob Elordi and then-girlfriend, Kaia Gerber first went public with their relationship in 2020, making red carpet appearances (Met Gala included) and posting the occasional curated couple pic to keep the internet happy.

During their short but no-less-sweet time together, the pair even committed to matching costumes for Halloween, which is a totally underrated celebrity couple milestone if you ask us.

In interviews, Kaia didn’t hold back when it came to sharing her affections with the world, most notably in a candid chat with Vogue, where she made it clear just how fond she was of her beau at the time. “Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don’t want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions,” she told the publication in 2021.

And for all his dark brooding energy, Elordi wasn’t shy about expressing relationship anecdotes of his own, revealing he’d also been so into Gerber, that he’d let her cut his headline-making mullet just a week into dating. “She took me to the bathroom and she got scissors and she cut it off,” he told Jimmy Kimmel, of the act akin to sacrifice.

They broke up quietly in late 2021, and honestly? We miss this era.

Zendaya (2019–2020)

Yes, Jacob Elordi and Zendaya really did date – and for a brief moment in 2020, it felt like the internet had collectively lost its mind. The two first met on the set of Euphoria, playing Rue and Nate in the HBO hit that launched a thousand glitter eyeshadow palettes and deep-dive TikToks. Rumours of an off-screen romance sparked shortly after filming for the first season wrapped, with fans asking did Jacob Elordi and Zendaya date in real life? The answer: yes, but neither of them said much about it.

By mid-2019, the rumours reached fever pitch after the pair were spotted vacationing in Greece with Zendaya’s family (you know, casual), followed by more public outings in Los Angeles, and Elordi’s home country, Australia. In early 2020, they were photographed kissing in NYC, essentially confirming what everyone already suspected: Jacob Elordi and Zendaya were more than just co-stars.

The relationship was famously low-key, but during this era, Jacob referred to Zendaya as just “like my sister” in a GQ interview, which – depending on your level of media literacy – was either a classic celebrity fake-out or a total misread. Regardless, their chemistry was undeniable, and their matching tall-hot-energy had fans falling hard.

Joey King (2017–2018)

Before Euphoria, before Saltburn, before he became a fashion week front-row fixture, Jacob Elordi was the towering heartthrob from The Kissing Booth – and his first public relationship was with none other than his co-star Joey King.

The two met while filming the first Kissing Booth movie in 2017 and quickly became a real-life couple, much to the delight of Netflix viewers and Tumblr stans everywhere.

Their off-screen romance coincided with the film’s massive success in 2018, making them one of the internet’s favourite young Hollywood couples at the time. But by the time The Kissing Booth 2 rolled around, things had cooled off—Jacob and Joey had reportedly broken up, though they never addressed it directly in the press.

Fans were shocked to see the pair reunite on-screen for not one, but two sequels post-breakup. While some speculated tension behind the scenes, Joey later called working with Jacob “a great experience” and praised their professional dynamic. So, was Joey King on the Jacob Elordi girlfriend list? Yes – and while it didn’t last, their teen rom-com legacy lives on.
