They're not rushing into anything — but they're definitely not hiding, either. Olivia Jade Giannulli and tennis world number one Taylor Fritz have been spotted together in New York City, with sources confirming to TMZ that the pair are seeing each other romantically and taking things slow.
Eyewitnesses say Fritz picked Olivia Jade up from her place on Saturday before the two headed to his hotel, where they were photographed arriving together. It's the most visible sign yet that what started as friendly hangouts has quietly shifted into something more.
From 'Just Friends' to Something More
The pair first sparked dating rumours back in May, when a tipster wrote to celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi claiming to have spotted them at members-only West Hollywood hotspot The Bird Streets Club. The anonymous source noted they were 'v cozy' — though a spokesperson close to the situation told TMZ at the time that Fritz 'isn't even looking to get into another relationship.'
A few months later, both Olivia Jade and Fritz attended the wedding of fellow tennis star Tommy Paul and influencer Paige Lorenze in July, though it remained unclear whether they attended as a couple or simply crossed paths on the guest list.
Sources tell TMZ they have been hanging out on a romantic level recently. They are taking things slow and enjoying their time together.
Neither has publicly defined the relationship, and insiders stress there's no pressure to do so. Fritz is currently in New York for the US Open, and Olivia Jade has also been spending time in the city — giving the two plenty of opportunity to see one another away from the cameras.
Fresh Starts All Round
The reported romance comes after significant relationship changes for both. Fritz split from his longtime girlfriend Morgan Riddle earlier this year after six years together, with Us Weekly reporting in April that the pair had 'quietly split over a month ago.' A source told People the breakup was 'mutual.'
For Olivia Jade — daughter of actress Lori Loughlin — the timing also marks a new chapter. Her on-again, off-again relationship with actor Jacob Elordi, which began in December 2021, reportedly came to an end in January 2026. Since then, she was spotted 'flirting' with Braxton Berrios at Palm Tree Music Festival in February, and Deuxmoi sources also placed her on a dinner date with Glen Powell in New York, though nothing materialised from those rumours.
Keeping It Casual
For now, sources are clear that both Olivia Jade and Fritz are in no rush to put a label on things. There's no word back from either camp's representatives, and the two appear content to let things unfold naturally — which, given the very public nature of both their lives, may be easier said than done.
'They're simply enjoying each other's company and seeing where things go,' a source close to the situation told TMZ.
With Fritz deep in tournament mode at Flushing Meadows and Olivia Jade a fixture in New York's social scene, expect more sightings before the summer is out. For more on celebrity relationships and the latest from the world of entertainment, visit our celebrity and entertainment pages.
