Harry Styles in 2019
In early 2019, dating rumors between Jennie and Harry Styles surfaced after he followed her on Instagram and attended a BLACKPINK concert. Given Harry Styles' reputation for being relatively inactive on Instagram, fans took notice when he liked a set of Jennie's photos. As the former One Direction member is known for his interest in fashion, it's understandable why he appreciated Jennie's photo set. However, despite the initial speculation, the rumors didn't lead to anything significant.

K-pop group BIGBANG's leader, G-Dragon, and BLACKPINK's Jennie first crossed paths during her training days when she appeared in one of his music videos. Both being under the same management company, YG Entertainment, they collaborated on music projects together.
In February 2021, Dispatch reported that Jennie and BIGBANG’s G-Dragon had been in a relationship for a year. They had previously collaborated on G-Dragon's 2013 song BLACK. According to the media outlet, G-Dragon had a personal parking lot and private elevator at his penthouse, which Jennie used to visit him discreetly, often after her BLACKPINK schedule.
According to the outlet YG Entertainment, Jennie's and G-Dragon's managers were reportedly aware of their relationship, and they facilitated her visits to his house. The outlet also observed Jennie leaving G-Dragon's house on January 31, 2021, the day of BLACKPINK’s online concert, The Show, with G-Dragon's car also spotted at the concert venue. In response, YG Entertainment released a statement saying they cannot confirm anything about our artists’ personal lives. They asked fans for their understanding regarding the situation.
Teddy Park in 2017
In 2017, rumors circulated that Jennie was dating producer Teddy Park of 1TYM, known for his work on BLACKPINK songs like Boombayah, As If It’s Your Last, Playing With Fire, and Whistle.

They asserted the dating rumors were unfounded and vowed legal action against baseless speculation.

The shipping between BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS' V, two prominent figures from major K-pop groups, has been a subject of interest among fans. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, rumors escalated into sightings.

Among the various fan-made images circulating online, some blurry photos added to the speculation. YG Entertainment, Jennie's agency, responded, "We have nothing to say regarding this matter," leaving fans eager for further clarification.
Now fast forward to 2023, Jennie and V were spotted together again, this time in Paris, in a video shared by French photographer Amar Taoualit. Both artists were reportedly in France at the time for separate engagements, with V serving as a brand ambassador for Céline and Jennie attending the 2023 Cannes Film Festival to promote The Idol.
