Olivia Jade Reveals Why Her Dating Life Is Off-Limits for Good

Olivia Jade is done letting her love life be a spectator sport. And yes, that includes the never-ending are-they-aren't-they cycle with Jacob Elordi. Here is where things actually stand, without the fluff.

Her new rule: say nothing

'I will never speak on it, ever... I am a completely closed book. I am just going to be a mystery.'

That was Olivia Jade, 26, in an interview published Tuesday, May 12 by Bustle. She said therapy helped her decide to lock that door. When she was younger, she wanted to respond to everything; now she would rather vent privately and keep what does not benefit her (or anyone) off the internet. Honestly, fair.

The Jacob of it all

Giannulli and Jacob Elordi, 28, have been circling each other since 2021. They have been spotted together a bunch over the years, with multiple breakups in between. The latest split reportedly happened in October 2025, not long after a brief reunion in September that fizzled in about a month. People close to them blamed logistics: she was spending her time in New York, he was filming and largely based in L.A. That distance problem has basically been the chorus of this song.

Why she is in New York now

Olivia grew up in Los Angeles, but she says she moved to New York City on a whim: her L.A. lease ended, and most of her best friends live in the city. Simple as that.

Where things stand this year

Even after the fall breakup, they have still crossed paths. In January, the two were seen together in NYC at a screening of his movie Frankenstein, and they were spotted on another low-key outing that same month. People familiar with the situation say that while they are not together, they never really stopped checking in. They text, they plan to meet when he is in town, and they are not putting a label on anything. Not seriously dating, still strong feelings, distance remains the hurdle. In other words: complicated but cordial.

The quick timeline

• 2021: Olivia Jade and Jacob Elordi start up; the on-and-off era begins.
• September 2025: Brief reconciliation, lasts about a month.
• October 2025: Reported breakup again, with distance cited as a factor (her in NYC, him filming and based in L.A.).
• January 2026: Spotted together in New York twice, including a Frankenstein screening.
• Now: They keep in touch, see each other when schedules line up, no labels.

Bottom line

Olivia is not going to feed the dating-discourse machine anymore, and she is serious about it. The sightings will keep the rumor mill spinning, but unless one of them changes their stance (or their zip code), expect the status to stay exactly where they like it: private, undefined, and occasionally photographed.
