The Real Reason Why Joey King And Jacob Elordi Broke Up

While we don't know exactly when Jacob Elordi and Joey King broke up, speculation about the split began a few months after Elordi was announced as one of the cast members of the show Euphoria in June 2018 (per Variety). What could a casting announcement potentially have to do with a breakup? Nothing... until you consider that Zendaya was announced as the show's lead at the same time.

This is significant when you look at what happened a few months later. Elordi and Zendaya were rumored to be pretty cozy after production on Euphoria began. In August 2019, an Instagram user posted a selfie in which Elordi and Zendaya are seen together in the background, seemingly on vacation. A few months later, though, Elordi was shutting down dating rumors, telling GQ Australia that Zendaya is "like my sister" — although he did add that the actress is "an amazing creative" and "super dope to work with."

Elordi and Zendaya haven't confirmed any sort of relationship as of this writing, but if they are or ever were involved, it's possible that sparks between the two started flying when Elordi was still with King, potentially leading to Joey King and Jacob Elordi's breakup.
