Jacob Elordi, the talented actor best known for his roles in Saltburn and Euphoria, has shared something very personal about his life — his dream of becoming a father one day. The 28-year-old Australian actor spoke openly in an interview with The Wall Street Journal about how much he looks forward to having children and starting his own family. According to Jacob, being a dad would be one of the most meaningful and joyful experiences of his life.
He said, “Very much so. My whole dream is to facilitate a childhood like the one that I had. It would just make me the happiest person in the world.”
These simple yet heartfelt words show how deeply Jacob values family, love, and the memories of his own childhood. He explained that he grew up in Australia surrounded by warmth, love, and sunshine. His memories of those years are full of laughter, care, and freedom. He described his upbringing as “total love and sun and just uninhibited joy.” It is clear that his childhood shaped the kind of person he has become today — kind, grounded, and focused on what truly matters to him.
Jacob shared that he wants to give his future children the same type of happy and loving environment that he was fortunate enough to have. He believes that recreating that feeling of peace and love in his own family would complete his life. For him, success isn’t only about fame, awards, or money. It’s about love, connection, and family — values that are becoming rare in the fast-paced world of Hollywood.
While many celebrities get caught up in the glamorous and sometimes wild lifestyle of Hollywood, Jacob stands out for being quite the opposite. He said, “I literally just go to my premieres. I don’t really acknowledge attention. My reality is in the start of production and the end of production, and then I go home.”
This statement shows how grounded he is, despite his fame. He doesn’t chase the spotlight or look for attention. Instead, he prefers to keep things private and stay close to his roots. Jacob seems to enjoy his work deeply, but once a movie or show is done, he likes to return home to the simple joys of everyday life — something that keeps him balanced.
One important figure in his life who keeps him grounded is his mother, Melissa. Jacob spoke lovingly about her in the same interview, calling her “an angel” and “the greatest person I’ve ever met.” His admiration for his mother is clear, and it shows just how much her presence and guidance have shaped him into the person he is today. Having a strong and caring parent seems to have inspired his own dream of becoming one someday.
Jacob also shared that he is still very close to his family, and it’s easy to see how important they are to him. His relationship with his parents and the values they instilled in him seem to guide every decision he makes — both in his career and personal life. His love for family, his humility, and his quiet lifestyle all come together to paint a picture of someone who appreciates the simple yet most meaningful things in life.
When it comes to relationships, Jacob’s romantic life has also drawn public attention. He previously dated model Kaia Gerber, the daughter of famous supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber. The two were quite open about their relationship and even shared pictures together on social media. Kaia herself spoke warmly about their time together in a 2021 interview with Vogue, where she mentioned how they shared similar interests and enjoyed spending time together.
However, after their relationship ended, Jacob seemed to become more private about his personal life. In recent months, he has been linked to influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli. The two are believed to have been dating for a while, though they reportedly had a brief split before getting back together. Olivia was even seen supporting Jacob at the Toronto International Film Festival, which suggested that their relationship might be back on track.
A source close to the couple told People magazine, “Even though they’ve been on and off, they still talk all the time and remained close friends … Her family really likes him and they have the same circle of friends.”
Despite being in the public eye, Jacob and Olivia prefer to keep their relationship away from the media spotlight. They don’t share much on social media, and Jacob himself has mentioned in the past that he doesn’t enjoy constant public attention. It seems he values privacy and real connection more than fame or popularity.
Behind the fame, bright lights, and camera flashes, Jacob Elordi appears to be someone who dreams of a peaceful and loving future — one where he can be surrounded by family and children. He doesn’t talk about wanting a bigger career, more awards, or endless fame. Instead, he talks about wanting a simple and meaningful life, much like the one he had as a child in Australia.
His reflections remind people that true happiness doesn’t always come from external success. It comes from love, relationships, and the joy of giving. Jacob’s words show a level of maturity and self-awareness that is refreshing to see in a young actor. He seems to know exactly what makes him happy — not the flashing cameras, but the idea of sitting under the sun, laughing with family, and watching his future children grow up with the same innocence and warmth he once had.
