Jacob Elordi, the brooding Australian heartthrob who has captivated audiences from Euphoria to Priscilla, stepped out into the chilly London night at 3 a.m., his signature intensity softened only by the haze of a long celebration. Fresh from the UK premiere of the highly anticipated film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, where he embodies the tormented Heathcliff opposite Margot Robbie’s Cathy, Elordi was photographed leaving the exclusive after-party at the Mandrake Bar. But it wasn’t alone that he departed. Model Madi Fogg, 29, emerged just seconds behind him, the pair slipping into the same waiting chauffeur-driven car before speeding away from flashing cameras. The late-night sighting has sent ripples through celebrity circles and fan communities alike, sparking speculation about a new chapter in the 28-year-old actor’s famously private romantic life.
The evening had begun with glamour and anticipation at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square the previous night. The red carpet buzzed as stars arrived for the premiere of Emerald Fennell’s bold, raunchier take on Emily Brontë’s classic gothic romance. Elordi, towering and magnetic in a tailored suit, walked the line with co-star Margot Robbie, their on-screen chemistry already fueling headlines. The film promises intense passion, stormy moors, and a darker edge than previous adaptations—elements that align perfectly with Elordi’s ability to portray complex, brooding men consumed by desire and revenge. Robbie, radiant and playful during press tours, had been spotted shielding Elordi from rain in earlier promotional moments, their easy rapport adding fuel to rumors of off-screen sparks. Yet the real intrigue unfolded hours later, in the dim glow of the after-party.
Mandrake Bar, known for its intimate, eclectic vibe tucked away in London’s Fitzrovia, played host to what insiders described as a lively gathering of cast, crew, and industry figures. Music pulsed, champagne flowed, and conversations stretched into the early hours as the adrenaline of the premiere lingered. Elordi, who had been the center of attention all evening, appeared “partied out” by the time photographers caught him leaving around 3 a.m. Dressed down from his red-carpet finery, he wore black shades despite the darkness, a white shirt untucked from suit trousers, sleeves rolled up, exuding the effortless cool that has made him a fashion favorite. His posture suggested fatigue mixed with caution—he kept his head down, avoiding direct eye contact with the waiting paparazzi.
Seconds later, Madi Fogg followed. The Australian model, represented by agencies in Sydney and Los Angeles, has built a career in high-fashion campaigns and appeared in projects including contributions to the Barbie universe through modeling ties. Tall, striking, and blonde, she moved with quiet confidence, though details of her outfit remained obscured in the candid shots. What stood out was the choreography of their exit: separate doors, staggered timing, yet the same black car idling at the curb. They entered swiftly, the vehicle pulling away before questions could be shouted or more frames captured. To onlookers and eagle-eyed fans monitoring gossip accounts, the maneuver screamed deliberate discretion.
This isn’t the first time Elordi’s love life has drawn scrutiny. Since rising to fame as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria, he has navigated relationships under an unrelenting spotlight. His on-again, off-again romance with Olivia Jade Giannulli, daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, began in 2021 amid pandemic-era privacy. They split publicly in August of the previous year, briefly rekindled with sightings including a New York hotel exit with his dog Layla, only to end definitively in October 2025. A source close to the situation told outlets at the time, “It’s fully over. They are not getting back together,” emphasizing Elordi’s focus on career over romance. More recently, he sparked talk when photographed with Ana de Armas at the Golden Globes, their poised appearance together hinting at something more than professional camaraderie.
Enter Madi Fogg. Little is publicly known about a prior connection between the two—both hail from Australia, which could suggest overlapping social circles in Sydney or Los Angeles modeling scenes. Some fans speculate introductions via mutual friends or even Margot Robbie, given shared industry ties and Madi’s Barbie-adjacent work. Others dismiss the sighting as coincidental: after-parties often lead to shared rides in a city where late-night transport can be scarce, especially for high-profile guests avoiding solo walks. Yet the staggered exit and rapid departure feel calculated, the kind of move celebrities make when hoping to evade linking headlines.
Online, reactions poured in swiftly. Gossip accounts like Deuxmoi amplified the photos within hours, captioning them with intrigue: “exiting seconds apart… same car… quick exit.” Reddit threads in popculturechat and ohnotheydidnt dissected every detail—Jacob’s shades indoors (“classic avoidance”), Madi’s poised stride (“she knows the game”), the timing (“3 a.m. says more than words”). Some fans cheered a potential new pairing: “Two beautiful Aussies—great match!” Others lamented the end of any lingering hope for Jacob and Olivia. Comments ranged from playful (“He’s just having fun post-premiere”) to protective (“Let him breathe—press tours are exhausting”). A few noted the irony: Elordi playing Heathcliff, a man destroyed by obsessive love, now at the center of his own romantic speculation.
The Wuthering Heights project itself adds layers to the moment. Directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn), the adaptation leans into the novel’s raw passion and psychological torment. Elordi, with his 6’5″ frame and piercing gaze, was a natural choice for Heathcliff—the orphan turned vengeful lover whose intensity drives the tragedy. Robbie’s Cathy brings fiery complexity, their screen kisses described as extensive and charged. Promotional tours have highlighted the film’s sensual edge, with Robbie joking about the “raunchier” elements in interviews. Elordi’s preparation reportedly included deep dives into Brontë’s world, Yorkshire accents, and the emotional toll of portraying a character consumed by longing. The premiere marked a triumphant moment for the cast, but the after-party sighting shifted focus from art to artist.
For Elordi, such moments are familiar territory. He has spoken candidly about fame’s double-edged sword—adoration from fans contrasted with invasive scrutiny. In past interviews, he emphasized privacy, especially after high-profile relationships drew tabloid frenzy. Yet his charisma proves magnetic; whether brooding on screen or charming in person, he draws eyes. Madi Fogg, meanwhile, maintains a lower profile, her modeling career thriving without the same level of celebrity drama. If this is the start of something, it unfolds quietly amid London’s fog and flashbulbs.
As dawn broke over the capital, the car carrying Jacob Elordi and Madi Fogg vanished into the city streets. No statements followed, no Instagram stories hinted at aftermath. The photos, grainy yet telling, circulated endlessly—fuel for speculation, debate, and perhaps the next chapter in a life lived partially in public. In a career defined by transformative roles, Elordi once again finds himself at the center of a story: one blending gothic romance on screen with modern intrigue off it. Whether this late-night exit marks a fleeting celebration or the spark of something deeper remains unseen. For now, the Heathcliff heartthrob keeps his secrets close, leaving fans to wonder what passions stir beneath the surface.
The night at Mandrake Bar may fade, but the images linger—a reminder that even in the whirlwind of premieres and parties, human connections can still surprise, intrigue, and captivate. As Wuthering Heights prepares for wider release, audiences will watch Elordi’s tormented lover unfold on screen. Off screen, the real-life drama continues, one 3 a.m. departure at a time.
