Olivia Jade Giannulli shared a vulnerable update about her mental health following the recent end of her on-again, off-again four-year relationship with Jacob Elordi.
As she recovers from a broken heart, the 25-year-old influencer revealed she has been navigating ‘so many different emotions’ since returning to the United States.
While reflecting on spending the majority of her summer in Paris and preparing to relocate to New York in a few weeks, the Los Angeles native admitted moving across the country was beginning to feel daunting.
‘I feel like committing to this move and really like letting it sink in that I’m moving across the country for the first time away from my family,’ she told her YouTube followers. ‘I’ve never lived away from my family in my life.’
The content creator, who is the daughter of Full House actor Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, added: ‘While moving is a very exciting and happy time, it’s definitely bringing up a little bit of stress just because change is always a little nerve-wracking.’
To cope, Olivia said she’s been using therapy ‘as a tool to fight a lot of nerves and uncomfortable changes.’

She went on to stress that her therapist ‘has very much supported’ her throughout ‘this season of life and change’ as well as during ‘many [other] situations in life.’
‘You guys know I love therapy,’ she said. ‘I’m very grateful that I just have an outlet and somebody to talk to and I’m just very grateful my therapist has helped me see things in a different light. Gives me new perspectives.’
She did not mention her breakup or Elordi in her latest YouTube post and has not publicly addressed the split.
Earlier this month, a source told People that the pair, who first sparked dating rumors over a coffee date back in 2021, called it quits.
Three weeks ago, in another YouTube video, Olivia said ‘it’s no surprise therapy helped’ her ‘a lot in’ her early 20s, seemingly alluding to the backlash over the college admissions bribery scandal.
‘I feel like it’s given me so many of the tools I have now, especially I’ve been feeling this way with so much change in my own life happening like moving to Paris and then there’s more big changes for me happening at the end of this year,’ she noted.

Olivia is the first person Jacob started dating after he broke things off with Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber in 2021.
Jacob and Olivia never went red carpet official and did not talk about their relationship publicly as they preferred privacy. They also never formally confirmed their relationship on social media.
They were seen together, however, several times vacationing in Italy in 2023 and 2024.
It has been six years since Olivia’s parents were convicted for fraud related to Jade’s college admission.
The investigation, codenamed Operation Varsity Blues by the Department of Justice, was made public in March 2019.
Loughlin, 60, and Mossimo, 63, were among 50 people accused of paying bribes to get their children into the country’s most elite colleges.
The celebrity couple was were indicted in 2019 in connection with allegations they paid admissions fixer Rick Singer $500,000 to arrange for the University of Southern California to recruit their daughters Olivia and Isabella Rose, 26, onto the school’s rowing team, despite that they had no background in the sport.

In May of 2020, the celeb couple pleaded guilty in connection with conspiracy charges in the case.
Loughlin received a two-month jail sentence along with a fine of $150,000 and 150 hours of community service following the guilty plea.
Loughlin began her sentence at a federal prison in Dublin, California in October of 2020 and was released that December.
Giannulli received a five-month sentence with a fine of $250,000 and 250 hours of community service.
Giannulli began his prison sentence in November of 2020 and was transferred to home confinement in April of 2021, about a month before his sentence ended.

Olivia first broke her silence on the headline-making scandal in 2020 during an appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, according to Variety.
‘On paper, it’s bad. It’s really bad,’ the model said of her parents’ actions. ‘But I think what a lot of people don’t know is that my parents just came from a place of, ‘I love my kids, I just want to help my kids. Whatever is best for them.”
She added: ‘I think they thought it was normal.’
Olivia admitted that she was initially surprised at the public’s reaction to the scandal as she recalled asking herself: ‘”How are people mad about this?”
‘I know that sounds so silly, but in the bubble that I grew up in, I didn’t know so much outside of it,’ she said of her privileged background. She claimed that ‘a lot of kids in that bubble, their parents were donating to schools and doing stuff that advantaged. ‘It’s not fair and it’s not right, but it was happening. And so, when this first came out, I was like, “I don’t really understand what’s wrong with this.”‘
