She's long been known as Lori Loughlin's lookalike daughter, but Olivia Jade Giannulli is firmly stepping into her own spotlight — and doing so in rather spectacular fashion.
The 27-year-old influencer has set pulses racing with a sun-drenched photoshoot shared with her 1.2 million Instagram followers, posing in a baby pink triangle bikini from Monday Swimwear against a backdrop of sandy beaches and rolling green hills. 'Sunshine girl,' she captioned the idyllic snaps, complete with a flurry of pink bow emojis.
All Eyes on Olivia
Styled with wraparound sunglasses, diamond earrings, and her honey brunette hair swept back in a claw clip, Olivia looked every inch the beach babe — and the resemblance to her famous mother was, as ever, impossible to ignore. It's a likeness that has followed Olivia throughout her adult life, and one she's addressed with refreshing candour.
"I think we both resemble our moms a lot physically, so it's weird for people that have watched our moms growing up and to see us as adults," she told People magazine.
Olivia was referring to Natasha Bure — daughter of Lori's former Full House co-star Candace Bure — with whom she shares the experience of being a near-double of a famous mother. She's even picked up a beauty tip along the way: Lori's unflinching dedication to SPF. 'She's always been really serious about wearing sunscreen,' Olivia said. 'I think that's why she looks so good.'
A New Chapter in Love?
The shoot carried an intriguing extra detail on its final slide: a mystery man lounging beneath a cabana. The image has only fuelled existing rumours that Olivia is dating Australian entrepreneur PC Valmorbida, following her split from actor Jacob Elordi roughly a year ago. The pair were also reportedly spotted together on a stroll through New York City last month, adding weight to the speculation.
Olivia has not publicly confirmed the relationship, but the inclusion of the photograph — deliberate or not — has given her followers plenty to talk about.
Moving Forward After the Scandal
The sunny images arrive during what is undeniably a complicated period for the Giannulli family. Olivia's mother Lori served two months in prison following her conviction in the 2019 college admissions scandal, in which Lori and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, admitted to bribing officials to secure their daughters' places at the University of Southern California. Mossimo and Lori have since parted ways, with Lori filing for divorce in September.
"She's always been really serious about wearing sunscreen. I think that's why she looks so good." — Olivia Jade on mother Lori Loughlin's beauty secret.
Through it all, Olivia has continued to build her own identity as a content creator, and the response to her latest posts suggests her audience is very much along for the ride. Whether she's making headlines for her striking resemblance to Lori, her rumoured new romance, or simply a very well-chosen swimsuit, one thing is clear: Olivia Jade is very much the main character of her own story now.
