On-again, Off-again

In August 2022, it was confirmed that the couple had split as they weren't "looking for anything serious" but enjoyed time together over the summer. That was until weeks later, in September, when the pair were photographed in pictures obtained by the DailyMail rocking coordinating blue outfits during a walk in the park,  following an evening at Jacob's house.

But despite their summer of love, Jacob declines to comment on the status of his relationship when asked by GQ in November, instead saying, "I appreciate you giving me the space." The start of 2024 reports circle that the couple are once again, over, but the flame hasn't really died as Olivia is spotted around Jacob's SNL dressing room and at his rehearsals for his stint on the show.
