Jacob Elordi Mom Oscars 2026 Date After Promise 

Jacob Elordi is euphoric about his Oscars date. 

The Frankenstein star—who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2026 ceremony hosted by Conan O’Brien—shared that his plus-one for the Mar. 15 event will be his mom Melissa Elordi. And for the pair, it’s a decade-old invite that is finally coming to fruition. 

“I’m going to take mom,” Jacob said during his Jan. 27 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I promised her when I was 15 that I would take her. So, I have to honor that.” 

And while Jacob noted that his mom is usually “cool” around other celebs, there is one star in particular that would have her fangirling. 

As he put it, “Yeah, John Travolta [and] I’d probably usher her to the next room.”

While the 28-year-old’s mom always knew that he would make it big, his dad John Elordi pushed for the Euphoria actor to have a practical backup plan.

“My mom fully believed in me the whole time,” he explained. “And I remember dad did the dad thing at one point where he was like, ‘You know, you’ve got to have a plan B because this isn’t necessarily feasible.’”
