Added on December 11, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards

Isn’t it just cosmic how Gwyneth Paltrow, the queen of wellness and all things Goop, is playing cupid for her daughter Apple with none other than Jacob Elordi—the “Frankenstein” star fresh off an on-again, off-again romance with Olivia Jade Giannulli? With Mercury doing its little dance in flirtatious Gemini, could the stars be aligning for a new Hollywood crush? Paltrow candidly let slip in a chat that Apple has quite the crush on Elordi, while the actor found the whole scene amusingly familiar—the “my mom loves you, my daughter’s in love” routine. Meanwhile, Apple’s stepping into the limelight herself, launching a music career despite the critics’ eye-rolls. Sparks might be flying both in the family and on the Malibu dating scene where Elordi’s been spotted cozying up with model Kristen Kiehnel. So, with a dash of celestial serendipity and a sprinkle of Hollywood drama, one can’t help but wonder—will this family’s stars align in more ways than one? LEARN MORE.

The Goop founder, who co-parents Apple and son Moses with ex-husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, seems eager to spark a connection between her daughter and the “Frankenstein” star.

Elordi recently ended his on-again, off-again romance with Olivia Jade Giannulli, but has yet to confirm if someone new is in the picture. With Paltrow openly teasing Apple’s admiration, could sparks fly?

Gwyneth Paltrow Tells Jacob Elordi How Apple Has A Big Crush On Him

“It’s so nice to be here talking to you. My children are very jealous!” Paltrow told Elordi. “My son looks up to you; my daughter is in love with you.” 

The “Glee” actress admitted she, too, might catch the love fever. “I probably will be too, by the end of this,” the wellness enthusiast gushed.

“The Kissing Booth” actor’s response to the 53-year-old actress was a funny acknowledgement. “Well, that’s the thing you always get,” Elordi noted. “Every person says, ‘Oh, my mom loves you. My daughter loves you. My girlfriend loves you.’ It’s never: ‘I love you.'”

Paltrow then replied, “I love you, Jacob,” before recalling she had first encountered his acting on the HBO show, which her kids had warned her not to watch.

Paltrow’s revelation about her daughter’s admiration for Elordi comes just two months after he and Giannulli officially called off their roller-coaster relationship, which first began in 2021.

A source confirmed the breakup is final this time. “It’s fully over. They are not getting back together,” the insider claimed, per The Blast

The former couple briefly rekindled their romance in September after an August split with a PDA session at the Toronto Film Festival red carpet. But now, the relationship is finished once and for all.

Insiders said Giannulli is handling the split well, and what bothers her most is her parents’ Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s separation.

Although Elordi and Gianulli are no longer together, it seems the 28-year-old actor may have returned to the dating scene. As The Blast reported, Elordi was spotted sharing an intimate outing in Malibu last month with model Kristen Kiehnel.

For the date, Elordi kept it casual in a gray sweater over a white shirt with denim pants, while Kiehnel rocked a white tee, a checkered overshirt, paired with brown trousers.

The pair enjoyed sandwiches, salads, and drinks, with candid moments showing their closeness, including Elordi offering Kiehnel a bite of his sandwich.

Unsurprisingly, the actor’s rumored romance sparked fan reactions, with many noting similarities between Kiehnel and his past partners. One fan remarked, “She looks like Olivia,” while another added, “He has a type.”

Meanwhile, Paltrow’s girl, Apple, who she teased has a crush on Elordi, has stepped into the spotlight, launching her music career while studying law, history, and society at Vanderbilt University. 

 In October, The Blast reported the 21-year-old dropped her first music collaboration video with Jade Street, titled “Satelittes,” despite media criticism of her singing abilities.

In a press release, Street explained how the duo came together for the track, saying she had written it last year, but it felt incomplete, and Apple’s voice was the “missing piece.”

On the other hand, critics seemed to have a different opinion after a TikTok clip of a live performance surfaced. 

Some claimed she did not “inherit her dad’s talent,” while one quipped, “The apple fell far from the tree.” The debut also sparked “nepo baby” allegations.

Despite the critics, insiders disclosed that Paltrow has pushed her mini-me to ignore the negativity and focus on what she likes. 

“She’s telling Apple not to let this derail her,” the insider revealed, according to The Blast. “She understands it’s hard to block out the haters, but as far as she’s concerned, the only way to handle this is to get back on stage as soon as possible.”

The individual emphasized that Paltrow feels she knows her daughter well and trusts her instincts about what’s best for her future.
