Jacob Elordihasn’t been in the spotlight for too long, but he’s already accumulated an impressive resume of high-profile projects.
Most recently, the Australian native was tapped to play Elvis in Sofia Coppola’supcoming moviePriscilla, where he’ll star alongsideMare of Easttownstar Cailee Spaeny in the lead role. In addition to his career accomplishments, Elordi also often makes headlines for his A-list dating history.
The actor, whopreviously revealedhe was sleeping in his car before bookingEuphoria, has been a romanticsince his very first kiss.
Still, he insists he didn’t always have luck in dating. “A party would happen, and everyone would be like, ‘Oh, I hooked up with so-and-so,’ or ‘I got hooks with so-and-so,’ and I just never had the hooks,” he said of his early years looking for love.
A lot has changed since then, however, as Elordi became a household name with roles inEuphoriaand Netflix’s rom-com trilogyThe Kissing Booth. He appears to have had more luck in the dating department as well, as has been linked to some of the most famous young women in Hollywood, from costarsJoey KingandZendayato supermodelKaia Gerberand influencerOlivia Jade Giannulli. Here is a look back at Jacob Elordi’s dating history so far.
Joey King

Elordi dated Joey King, hisKissing Boothcostar, for over a year before they split in 2018 — just as the movie debuted on Netflix. The exes worked together on twoKissing Boothsequels, which King said wasn’t necessarily easy.
“It was crazy. It was a wild experience. But honestly, it was a really beautiful time, because I learned a lot about myself and I grew as an actor,” she said of working with Elordiafter their split. “I grew as a person on this. It was fine. It was good.”
She also revealed toHoward Sternthatshe “couldn’t” date another actorafter Elordi, but doesn’t regret their relationship at all.
“I think it’s a good thing we dated in the first place. I learned the most I’ve ever learned in my life from him,” she said. “I think that it’s awesome to date someone in your field, who gets it, but doing the same exact thing as somebody is tough. It’s really tough.”
The exes appeared to be on friendly terms when they shared a funny moment together in August 2020. After Elordi claimed to have never seen their movie,The Kissing Booth 2, during an interview, Kingplayfully called him out on Twitter.
“Jacob watched it. He’s capping,” she wrote before quickly deleting the post.
Kingannounced her engagementto directorSteven Pietin March 2022.

King wasn’t Elordi’s onlyshowmance. Though their relationship was never officially confirmed, Elordi and his fellowEuphoriastar Zendaya were rumored to be a couple in August 2019 after cameras caught themvacationing together in Greece.
In December 2019, Elordi eluded talk of a romance with his costar during aninterview withGQ Australia. “She’s like my sister. Zendaya is an amazing creative, you know?” he said. “She’s super dope to work with. She’s an incredible artist and a very caring person to all of us.”
Despite their sibling-like bond, Elordi and Zendaya werespotted getting cozyat the American Australian Arts Awards dinner in January 2020, and days later, they werephotographed kissingin New York City’s SoHo neighborhood.
Elordi and Zendaya were alsospotted cuddlingin the audience ofDear Evan Hansenon Broadway in February 2020. Still, the pair took great pains not to go public with their status, declining to take photos with just the two of them when they met the cast backstage. “They gushed about the musical and each other,” a source said. “She did not intro him as her boyfriend, but it was very obvious that they were together. They were trying not to hold hands and stuff and give away that they were a couple since there were lots of people around.”
Zendaya and Elordi appear to have fizzled out after spring 2020, but remained friendly. TheDeep Wateractor congratulated Zendaya on herhistoric Emmy winin September 2020. “Congratulations Captain 🖤 @zendaya Bravo 💜,” hewrote on his Instagram Story.

In November 2020, a sourcetold PEOPLEthat Elordi and Gerber were “very sweet” together and that Gerber’s famous parents, modelsCindy CrawfordandRande Gerber, approved of the pairing.
By the following summer, Elordi and Gerber appeared comfortable speaking about their relationship publicly. In theJune/July issue ofVogue, Gerber opened up about how happy she was with Elordi.
“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 said. “Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone.”
In August,Elordi revealedonJimmy Kimmel Live!that Gerber had cut off his “quarantine mullet” within a week of dating. The next month, the couplemade their red carpet debutat theAcademy Museum of Motion Pictures' opening gala.
In November 2021, however, Elordi and Kaia split,sources told PEOPLE. Inan interview withMen’s Health,conducted before the couple’s breakup but released afterward, Elordi said of Gerber, “She handles herself wonderfully publicly. And I’ve learned so much from her about how to handle it, how to deal with it and just kind of bewhateverabout it, you know?”

An insidertold PEOPLEat the time that Giannulli and Elordi were “casually dating,” though another source denied it. It’s unclear how the pair met, but their time together — platonic or not — has been on-again, off-again.
Elordi and Giannulli reportedly called it quits in August 2022 because neither were pursuing anything serious. Nearly a year later, the couple were seenvacationing together in Italy.
“They are 100 percentgoing strong,” a source told PEOPLE in July 2023. “[It’s] getting serious.”
