Olivia Jade Draws the Line: Why Her Love Life Stays Completely Private

Privacy isn’t just a preference for Olivia Jade Giannulli anymore—it’s a boundary she’s willing to defend. The 26-year-old influencer made her stance crystal clear in a recent interview with Bustle published on Tuesday, May 12: her romantic life is off-limits, permanently.

“I will never speak on it, ever,”Giannulli said, adding that she’s become“a completely closed book”when it comes to matters of the heart. It’s a deliberate shift from her younger self, one she credits partly to therapy. She explained that she no longer feels the compulsion to broadcast every detail of her personal world. Instead of venting to the internet, she’s learned to keep those conversations where they belong—in her actual life, with actual people.

That doesn’t mean Giannulli’s romantic history isn’t worth noting. She and actor Jacob Elordi have spent years in an on-again, off-again cycle since 2021. Their most recent split happened in October 2025, following a brief reconciliation in September that lasted roughly a month. Distance played a role—Giannulli relocated to New York City on a whim after her lease ended in Los Angeles, while Elordi, 28, tends to base himself in L.A. and follows work commitments across the country.

Yet the story doesn’t quite end there. Sources revealed that Giannulli and Elordi never truly stopped talking. They’ve been spotted together in New York City multiple times this year, including at a screening of his film Frankenstein in January. They check in, text, and plan to see each other when their schedules align. The insider’s take?“There are still strong feelings between them, and they do enjoy their time when they get to see each other.”Love, it seems, doesn’t fit neatly into labels or distance.

So here’s where Giannulli’s decision to zip her lips actually makes sense. She’s protecting something real—not from scandal or embarrassment, but from the noise. Moving to New York with her best friends, maintaining a connection that defies easy categorization, occasionally crossing paths with someone who clearly still matters: that’s the kind of life that doesn’t benefit from play-by-play narration. It benefits from being lived, quietly, on her own terms.
