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.

In February 2023 the pair allegedly called things off, but that certainly wasn't the end, as the summer of 2023 saw the couple reuniting and looking very loved up,  first at a car dealership in May, followed by a vacation in Italy and shopping in NYC, before jetting off on a holiday with Olivia's. 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.

Then things go quiet, for a few months before the pair reappear together at Jacob's sister Isabella's birthday party at Funke in LA, then they head back to Italy in October. Things seem to be going strong for a while before August 2025 when  call it quits again with  Us Weekly reporting that things were rocky "all summer," and Olivia has moved to Paris for a change of scenery.
