Jacob Elordi has recently been seen spending time with model Kristen Kiehnle, who bears a notable resemblance to his former partner, Olivia Jade Giannulli.
According to photographs obtained by DeuxMoi, the 28-year-old Priscilla actor was pictured enjoying an outdoor lunch with Ms. Kiehnle in Malibu. The pair appeared relaxed as they dined on sandwiches, wraps, and beer under the California sun.
Mr. Elordi, dressed casually, was seen offering Ms. Kiehnle a taste of his wrap while scrolling through his phone, as she ate her sandwich accompanied by a side salad. There were no apparent indications of romantic involvement between the two, with the encounter seemingly friendly and informal.
DeuxMoi, which first reported the sighting, noted that this was not the first time the pair had been seen together, stating:
“It seems as though Jacob Elordi has been spending time with model Kristen Kiehnle — a trip to Big Sur, the Frankenstein premiere in L.A., grabbing coffee, and now lunch in Malibu. Case closed (for now)!”
Ms. Kiehnle, a model with over 83,000 Instagram followers, has previously appeared in music videos, including Tame Impala’s Loser. Representatives for both parties have not commented on the nature of their relationship.
The sighting comes shortly after reports surfaced confirming that Mr. Elordi’s on-and-off relationship with Ms. Giannulli, 26, has ended “fully and finally.” The couple — first linked in late 2021 — had rekindled their romance briefly in September when Ms. Giannulli attended the premiere of Mr. Elordi’s Frankenstein film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
A source close to the pair told People:
“It’s fully over. They are not getting back together. Olivia’s fine about the split — she’s more upset about what’s going on with her father.”
The remark referred to recent reports that Ms. Giannulli’s parents, actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, had separated after 28 years of marriage.
Mr. Elordi, whose rising career includes leading roles in Priscilla and Guillermo del Toro’s forthcoming adaptation of Frankenstein, has continued to focus on professional commitments. In addition to portraying “The Creature” in Frankenstein—set for limited theatrical release on October 17 before its Netflix debut on November 7—he has been cast as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, alongside Margot Robbie.#newsafro_
