Olivia Jade Turns to Therapy Post-Breakup: Navigating Life's Changes

Olivia Jade Giannulli shared a vulnerable update about her mental health following the recent end of her on-again, off-again four-year romance with actor Jacob Elordi

OLIVIA JADE'S BROKEN HEART EXPOSED: Influencer Speaks Out on Mental Health Struggles and New York City Move

In a candid YouTube video, Olivia Jade Giannulli has opened up about her turbulent times following the end of her four-year on-again, off-again romance with Aussie heartthrob Jacob Elordi. The 25-year-old influencer is navigating "so many different emotions" as she deals with the aftermath of their split and prepares to start a new chapter in her life.

As she shares her vulnerable update, Olivia candidly discusses the challenges she's facing as she readies herself for a major life change: relocating to New York City. The Los Angeles native admitted that moving away from her family for the first time has left her feeling "daunting" and "nerve-wracking."

"It feels like committing to this move, and really letting it sink in that I'm moving across the country for the first time away from my family," Olivia confessed to her YouTube followers. "I've never lived away from my family in my life." She continued, "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 with the emotional turmoil, Olivia has been relying on therapy as a "tool to fight a lot of nerves and uncomfortable changes." She praised her therapist for being a constant source of support throughout this "season of life and change," as well as during other challenging situations.

"You guys know I love therapy," Olivia shared. "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."

Although she didn't mention her breakup or Jacob directly in the video, fans are left wondering if Olivia's newfound focus on mental health is a result of their split. A source close to the couple revealed earlier this month that they had indeed called it quits, citing "differences" and "growing apart." The news came as a shock to many, given the pair's seemingly solid relationship.

Olivia met Jacob in 2021 after he broke up with Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford's model daughter. The two kept their romance under wraps, never publicly confirming their relationship or attending red carpet events together. However, they were spotted vacationing in Italy on several occasions.

The news of Olivia's mental health struggles comes as a reminder that even those who seem to have it all – good looks, fame, and fortune – can struggle with anxiety, stress, and emotional turmoil. As she navigates this challenging period, fans are sending Olivia love and support, eager for her to heal and thrive.

OLIVIA'S PARENTS' SCANDAL LINGERS

Olivia's family has been in the headlines for years due to a high-profile college admissions scandal. In 2019, Olivia's parents, Full House star Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were among 50 individuals accused of paying bribes to get their children into elite colleges.

Lori and Mossimo allegedly paid $500,000 to fixer Rick Singer to arrange for Olivia and her sister Isabella Rose to be recruited onto the University of Southern California's rowing team. However, neither Olivia nor Isabella had any background in the sport. The couple pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiracy charges, with Lori receiving a two-month jail sentence and a fine of $150,000, while Mossimo received a five-month sentence and a fine of $250,000.

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

Olivia has publicly spoken about her family's scandal, stating that she didn't initially understand why people were upset. In an appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk in 2020, Olivia shared, "On paper, it's bad... 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.'"

Olivia's candor about her family's scandal has sparked debate among fans and critics alike, with some questioning whether she truly understands the gravity of her parents' actions.

THE FUTURE FOR OLIVIA

As Olivia prepares to start a new chapter in New York City, fans are eagerly awaiting what's next for this young influencer. Will she continue to prioritize her mental health? Will she ever speak publicly about her breakup with Jacob? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Olivia Jade Giannulli has the support of millions, and it seems that nothing can bring her down.
