Kaia Gerber’s recent Instagram post has sparked speculation among fans, who believe the 22-year-old model and actress might be throwing some shade at her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Elordi.
The two were once a hot Hollywood couple, dating for just over a year from the summer of 2020 until their breakup in November 2021. Since then, both have moved on to new relationships—Kaia with Elvis star Austin Butler, and Jacob with social media personality Olivia Jade. But Kaia’s latest social media activity has many wondering if there’s still some unresolved tension lingering.
So, what exactly did Kaia post that’s causing such a stir? It all started when she shared a photo of herself on Instagram, casually lounging and reading a book titled Dear Dickhead by French author Virginie Despentes. Now, if the title alone wasn’t enough to raise eyebrows, it was Kaia’s choice of caption that really got people talking. She wrote, “A book for someone I used to know,” along with an excerpt from the book that seemed pointed, to say the least.
The highlighted passage in her post reads, “At this point, your sheer dumbf–kery commands a certain respect. But it doesn’t change the basics: I don’t give a shit about you. All my love to your sister, she was a wonderful friend.” The choice of words—and the message they convey—left fans speculating whether Kaia was indirectly referencing her former flame, Jacob Elordi.
The connection becomes even more intriguing when you consider the fact that Jacob Elordi does have a sister—Isabella Elordi, a talented ballet dancer. This little detail added fuel to the fire, making the post seem less like a random literary moment and more like a subtle jab at Jacob. Was Kaia using the passage to express some lingering frustration? Or was she simply sharing a book she found amusing? The timing and content of the post certainly have fans leaning toward the former.
It’s worth noting that Kaia has typically been private about her relationships, rarely addressing rumors or speculation directly. However, this post suggests that she might be more willing to let her feelings be known, even if only through a carefully chosen excerpt from a book.
On the flip side, Jacob Elordi has been relatively quiet about his past relationship with Kaia, focusing instead on his acting career and his current relationship with Olivia Jade. The two have been spotted together frequently, appearing to be very much in love. Meanwhile, Kaia’s relationship with Austin Butler seems to be going strong, with the couple often seen together at various events and outings.
So, is Kaia really shading Jacob Elordi with her Instagram post, or is this just a case of fans reading too much into things? While only Kaia knows the true intent behind her post, it’s clear that her followers are intrigued by the possibility that there’s more to the story. Whether it’s a playful dig or simply a shared moment of literary humor, Kaia’s post has certainly succeeded in getting people talking.
