There is romance in the air again for Olivia Jade Giannulli and her aspiring musician ex-boyfriend, Jackson Guthy.
Guthy, 23, on Friday set tongues wagging when he shared on his Instagram page a sweet selfie showing him planting a smooch on the 19-year-old Olivia, the daughter of disgraced Fuller House star Lori Loughlin, in front of a mirror.
In the black-and-white photo, Guthy appears bare-chested while Olivia is dressed in a black frock with white flowers. She is seen holding a phone in her manicured hand while closing her eyes during the passionate kiss.
Kiss, kiss: Jackson Guthy, 23, on Friday shared this photo of himself planting a smooch on Lori Loughlin’s daughter, 19-year-old Olivia Jade, three months after their breakup
Olivia and Guthy called it quits in the wake of the college admissions scandal that swept up Loughlin (center), her husband and both her daughters
‘Lil monkey I love you,’ Guthy wrote in the caption accompanying the image, which as of Monday afternoon has drawn more than 18,400 ‘likes.’
An unnamed source said to be close to Olivia and Guthy confirmed to ET that the pair have reconciled in the wake of the college admissions scandal.
‘They’re doing much better and had a really good summer together,’ the source told the outlet. ‘Olivia joined Jackson at his summer home in North Carolina with a bunch of friends and had a blast.’
The source added that sharing the photo was a way for Guthy, who had never publicly professed love for any of the women he had dated, ‘to let people know they are a couple.’
This marked the second time in three months that Guthy took to his Instagram account to share a kissing photo featuring Olivia.
The social-media influencer and YouTube star has kept a low profile since March, when her mother, Fuller House actress Lori Loughlin, and her father, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were charged by the FBI and US Attorney’s Office as part of a nationwide investigation into alleged schemes to get wealthy children into elite universities by falsifying SAT scores and college applications.
In late June, Guthy took to his Instagram Stories and posted a Boomerang of himself kissing Olivia on the cheek. The image sparked rumors the pair have reconciled
Olivia and Guthy had called it quits in May, two months after her parents’ arrests in connection to the sweeping college admissions scandal
Olivia and her boyfriend, who is an aspiring musician, reportedly called it quits in May. Us Weekly reported at the time, quoting an unnamed source, that ‘it was all getting to be too much for him.’
In late June, Guthy posted to Instagram Stories a Boomerang of himself kissing Olivia on the cheek.
Olivia’s account, which still has 1.4million followers, has been largely dormant in recent months, except for a throwback photo of herself as a toddler sitting on her mother’s lap, which she posted a week ago along with a belated birthday message for Loughlin.
‘One day late. happy birthday. i love you so much,’ she wrote.
Olivia’s sister, Isabella, has been only slightly more visible on social media in the wake of the college admissions scandal, posting a photo of herself with her mother to wish her happy birthday, followed by a selfie that she shared on Saturday.
Olivia was dropped in March from advertising deals with cosmetics retailer Sephora and hair products company TRESemme.
She was believed to have stayed with Guthy at his home in Malibu during the fallout, but a few months later it was reported that they had split because of the media frenzy.
Loughlin and her fashion designer husband (pictured in April) have pleaded not guilty to paying $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters into USC
Some of the 50 people arrested in connection to the scandal, including fellow actor Felicity Huffman, have already struck plea deals with prosecutors.
The couple was accused of paying $500,000, disguised as a donation to the Key Worldwide Foundation, to get Olivia and her sister Isabella named as recruits to University of Southern California’s crew team to help them gain admission into the school — even though they did not row competitively.
The former Fuller House star and her husband pleaded not guilty in the bribery scandal dubbed ‘Operation Varsity Blues’ and are now facing 40 years in prison and over one-million dollars in fines if convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
