Jacob Elordi reignited speculation about his personal life after revealing that his phone wallpaper features his Priscilla co-star Cailee Spaeny, whom he referred to as his “beautiful friend.” This comment, made during a November 7 podcast appearance, quickly stirred online conversations and sparked fresh chatter regarding Jacob Elordi dating rumors.
The Bond Between Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny on ‘Priscilla’
Elordi and Spaeny portrayed Elvis and Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola’s 2023 film Priscilla, a performance that earned both critical acclaim and widespread fan interest. The film’s 30-day shoot allowed the two actors to develop a strong connection, which Spaeny described as an immediate and profound trust beyond romance.
She told The Hollywood Reporter,
“There was an immediate love between us — not romantic, but something deeper,”
and added,
“We could communicate just by looking into each other’s eyes.”
Elordi echoed her sentiments, praising Spaeny as brilliant and a joy to work with and recalling the project as a rare experience where “everything just clicked.” Despite this close connection, fans have long speculated their relationship could extend beyond friendship, a notion that gained momentum following Elordi’s recent remark.
Jacob Elordi’s Past Relationships and Public Attention
Since rising to fame through Netflix’s The Kissing Booth, the Australian actor’s romantic life has attracted significant public attention. Elordi has been linked to several prominent figures, including co-star Joey King, Euphoria actress Zendaya, and influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli.
Reports in December 2021 from US Weekly indicated that Elordi and Giannulli were casually seeing each other. The pair appeared together at a Saturday Night Live after-party in 2024 following Elordi’s hosting debut, but they reportedly ended their relationship by August 2025.
Addressing the media focus on his dating life, Elordi has consistently expressed a desire to remain private and avoid the noise. He said in a 2020 interview with Entertainment Tonight,
“Just even the fact that somebody you don’t know knows your name could be quite disembodying,”
and added,
“Whatever people are talking about is not your business — it just has my name involved in it.”
Why the Recent Comment Matters and What It Could Mean
The affectionate choice of words Jacob Elordi used to describe Cailee Spaeny has resonated with fans and social media users, reigniting hope among those curious about his romantic status. The phrase “beautiful friend” trended rapidly on platforms like X, with many viewers analyzing his tone and manner to uncover potential clues about their off-screen relationship.
Considering his history of maintaining privacy and keeping his personal life guarded, this subtle reveal marks a possible shift toward openness, or at least an acknowledgment of their close bond. As fans continue to watch closely, any future interactions or statements from either Elordi or Spaeny may clarify the true nature of their connection.
