Jacob Elordi’s love life appears to be circling back to familiar territory. Days after a viral Golden Globes moment with Ana de Armas sparked fresh speculation, the 'Frankenstein' star was spotted in New York City alongside his longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend Olivia Jade Giannulli, reviving questions about whether the two have quietly reunited once again.
On Wednesday, Elordi, 28, and Jade, 26, were photographed leaving a hotel together in Manhattan. The pair walked side by side before climbing into a waiting SUV, accompanied by Elordi’s dog, Layla. While neither has confirmed their relationship status, the sighting alone was enough to reignite chatter surrounding their famously cyclical romance.

Jade, meanwhile, opted for a pared-back but polished look in a long-sleeved black top and blue jeans, carrying a fur-collared coat draped over her arm. Her hair was styled half-up and secured with a clip, adding to the effortless feel.

Inside the Beverly Hilton, the former 'Deep Water' co-stars were photographed holding hands while chatting among the crowd of nominees and presenters. De Armas smiled as the two spoke, and Elordi was seen lightly touching her arm as they laughed before the ceremony began. The moment quickly went viral, especially given de Armas’ recent breakup with Tom Cruise.

While Elordi’s interaction with de Armas appeared friendly and familiar, his New York sighting with Jade suggests his personal life may be returning to a long-running pattern.

Their relationship has been defined by multiple breakups and reconciliations, often unfolding quietly and away from red carpets. They initially split in August, only to briefly rekindle their romance before officially parting ways again in October. At the time, a source told People, “It's fully over. They are not getting back together.” That certainty has since been challenged by repeated public appearances together.
Even after previous breakups, the pair continued to cross paths. They were spotted vacationing in Idaho in July 2023, and later that month, another source told People that they had reconciled and were “getting serious.” Reports in January suggested they had broken up once more, only for it to emerge shortly after that they were still together. In October 2024, the couple even traveled to Italy with Jade’s parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli.

They have never walked a red carpet together and have rarely spoken publicly about their romance. Last September, ahead of their most recent reported split, Jade was seen accompanying Elordi to the premiere of Netflix’s 'Frankenstein' at the Toronto International Film Festival, quietly supporting him during the screening.
Elordi remains firmly in demand. At the Golden Globes, he earned two nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for 'Frankenstein' and Best Actor in a Limited Series for 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North.' He is also set to star as Heathcliff opposite Margot Robbie in Emerald Fennell’s highly anticipated adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights,' scheduled to premiere on February 13.
