It's been a crazy few weeks in celeb world for dating rumours. We've had Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles, Emily Ratajowski and Austin Butler and now, Glen Powell and Olivia Jade Giannulli - with Jacob Elordi potentially involved too. Allow us to explain.

Last week, Deux Moi obtained photos of Powell and Giannulli eating together at the restaurant Il Cantinori in New York - naturally, sending the internet into meltdown with dating rumours between the pair. But now, a source has quelled the speculation to US weekly, telling the outlet: 'They are close friends and are not dating,' adding 'They have been friends for several years.'

Then just days later, Olivia was spotted cosying up to her ex Jacob Elordi at the premiere of Frankenstein in Toronto - with the star even appearing to hold the train of her dress. What's going on? We've broken it down...

Are Glen Powell and Olivia Jade Giannulli dating?

No, it doesn't seem like they are. The rumours started circulating after Glen and Olivia were spotted out for dinner, and then later at the bar Treasure Club. Since this came just one month after sources suggested Olivia's on/off relationship with Jacob Elordi had come to an end, fans were quick to assume she was on a date with Glenn. 'Wait is this a new Hollywood power couple or what?,' one user wrote on X.

However, sources have since said this isn't the case. Speaking to US Weekly, the source said that Glen and Olivia met thanks to their individual connections to the hit show Full House - and a friendship has blossomed between the pair ever since.

'Glen is super close with John Stamos, who is close with [Olivia’s mom] Lori [Laughlin], and they are all family friends and run in the same circle,' the source told the outlet. 'Olivia isn’t dating at the moment and is enjoying the single life and having fun. She is now living in New York City and is enjoying new experiences.'

Is Olivia Jade Giannulli back with Jacob Elordi?

Olivia and Jacob reunited at the premiere of Frankenstein in Toronto this week, where Jacob even appeared to carry the train of her dress. Photos from fans taken outside the event also show Olivia walking with Elordi.

While nothing has been publicly confirmed yet, the outing comes just one month after sources told PEOPLE that their relationship had come to an end. At the time, sources told the outlet that Elordi and Giannulli 'recently decided to call it quits.'

The pair have a long history that stretches back to 2021. Sources said that things were 'getting serious' between the pair halfway through 2023. The pair tried to keep their relationship low-key, but reports have suggested their relationship has been on and off. In 2024, breakup rumours began to circulate again but ET reported that the pair were still together. 'Despite a report that the pair had split, ET has learned that Elordi and Jade are still dating,' they wrote.

Meanwhile, Giannulli recently posted a vlog explaining she had temporarily moved to Paris, calling it a 'formative' time.
