The âFrankensteinâ and âEuphoriaâ actor casually revealed that his phone wallpaper features his âPriscillaâ co-star Cailee Spaeny â and called her his âbeautiful friend,â instantly reigniting rumors that the pair may be more than just colleagues.
During a November 7, appearance on the “Sad, Happy, Confused” podcast, Elordi was asked about the background image on his phone. With a smile, he responded, âItâs me and my beautiful friend Cailee Spaeny from âPriscilla.ââ
That sweet, offhand comment was all it took for fans to lose it. Within hours, the clip went viral on X (formerly Twitter), where âbeautiful friendâ began trending as users speculated about the pairâs off-screen relationship. Fan accounts dissected his tone, smile, and word choice â and gossip pages quickly jumped back into long-running theories about their undeniable chemistry.
Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaenyâs Connection Began on ‘Priscilla’
Elordi and Spaeny starred together in Sofia Coppolaâs 2023 biopic âPriscilla,â playing Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Their portrayal of the famous couple drew critical praise and immediate fan fascination â both for their performances and for their connection beyond the camera.
The film shot over just 30 days, but during that time, the two reportedly became close. Spaeny described their bond as one of instant trust and understanding. âThere was an immediate love between us â not romantic, but something deeper,â she told The Hollywood Reporter. âWe could communicate just by looking into each otherâs eyes.â
Elordi was equally complimentary, calling Spaeny âbrilliantâ and âa joy to work with.â âIt was one of those rare experiences where everything just clicked,â he said in the same 2023 interview.
Still, fans have long speculated that their chemistry might not end at friendship â and Elordiâs recent âbeautiful friendâ comment has given the internet plenty of fuel.
The ‘Frankenstein’ Star’s Dating Life Keeps Fans Guessing
The Australian actorâs relationships have often drawn attention since his breakout role in Netflixâs âThe Kissing Booth.â Elordi has been linked to several high-profile women over the years, including co-star Joey King, âEuphoriaâ castmate Zendaya, and influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli.
In December 2021, US Weekly reported that Elordi and Giannulli were âcasually dating.â The two were later seen together at a âSaturday Night Liveâ after-party in 2024 following his hosting debut, but they reportedly called it quits in August 2025.
When asked in past interviews about the publicâs fascination with his love life, Elordi has always maintained that he tries to tune out the noise. âJust even the fact that somebody you donât know knows your name could be quite disembodying,â he told Entertainment Tonight in 2020.
âWhatever people are talking about is not your business â it just has my name involved in it.â
