It's a heartwarming reunion for Kaia Gerber and Jacob Elordi, as the former lovebirds—who shared a year-long romance between 2020 and 2021—were among the glittering array of guests at Cara Delevingne's star-studded birthday bash on August 5. Though they arrived separately, the ex-couple's presence added an intriguing twist to the festivities.
Joining Kaia and Jacob at Los Angeles' iconic Chateau Marmont, ahead of Cara's 33rd birthday on August 12, were an array of celebrities including Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, Colman Domingo, and Paris Hilton, all gathered to celebrate Cara in style.
Kaia and Jacob's relationship, which blossomed in the summer of 2021 and ended the following November, left a lasting impression on Kaia. Speaking to Vogue in May 2021, the Saturday Night star opened up about the profound impact their time together had on her. "Being able to be with someone I trust, where we didn't want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that," she revealed, "has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions." Kaia further added, "Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone."
While Kaia and Jacob may not often revisit their past, Jacob made it clear shortly after their breakup that he harbored no ill will towards his ex. In fact, he credited her with teaching him how to navigate life in the public eye. "She handles herself wonderfully publicly," the 24-year-old Kissing Booth star shared. "And I've learned so much from her about how to handle it, how to deal with it, and just kind of be whatever about it, you know?"
Today, both actors have moved on to new love interests. Kaia has recently sparked romance rumors with Marvel actor Lewis Pullman, following her breakup with Austin Butler earlier this year. Meanwhile, Jacob has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Olivia Jade Giannulli since the end of 2021.
When Jacob's newest project, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, premiered in April, Olivia showed her unwavering support by liking a series of Instagram posts about the series. The couple also celebrated Olivia's 25th birthday together in September in Sardinia, Italy, accompanied by her family. However, when not in the limelight, the pair prefers to keep a low profile.
Speaking to E! News in 2023, Olivia reflected on the biggest lesson she's learned during her life in the public eye. "I think just be very self-aware and aware of what you're putting out there and really owning that," she said. "I'm more than blessed, and I have a beautiful life. A lot of people have it really hard."
