While Olivia Rodrigo’s snarky and honest songwriting claims that love is embarrassing (and don’t get me wrong—she’s right to say it!), she found romance with fashion-forward Brit Louis Partridge right after the release of her sophomore album GUTS in October 2023. In the two years that followed, the couple (1) confirmed their ’ship by appearing at the Venice Film Festival together, (2) became Instagram official, and (3) put on a loved-up at Glastonbury before reportedly going their separate ways in December 2025 (though, for the record, neither has confirmed the split).
You’re probably wondering how these two met, how their romance came to be, and what'’ going on now. Ahead, find everything we know about Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge’s relationship timeline.
October 2023
Romance rumors started swirling in late October when The Sun reported that Olivia traveled to London with her bestie, Conan Gray, to visit Louis and spend some time with him. An insider revealed that Liv and Louis allegedly met through mutual friends.
“They met through mutual pals earlier in the year and have been messaging quite a bit. She has spent a few days in the capital hanging out with them all, but it’s been Louis who she has been inseparable from,” the source dished. “They have been for dinners and nights out. They hit a club together on Friday night and were acting very coupley. It’s really sweet to see her happy.”
December 2023
After a quiet month in November, Louis fueled the dating rumors when he showed up to support Olivia at iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball stop in New York at Madison Square Garden. He was singing along in the crowd with Olivia’s best friends, Conan Gray and Madison Hu:
Then, a day after Jingle Ball, Louis was reportedly in the audience at Studio 8H to cheer Olivia on during her Saturday Night Live performance. They were also spotted at the show’s after-party together and left in the same car.
Then, just days after that, Olivia and Louis spent the day frolicking around NYC and packed on some major PDA, per pics obtained by TMZ. The duo embraced each other and kissed—and in a v flirty move, Louis even placed his hands on Olivia’s lower back. All of this to say...good 4 them (sorry, had to!).
February 2024
Louis was spotted at one of Olivia’s shows on the GUTS World Tour.
March 2024
Louis opened up about his ’ship with the musician during an interview with British Vogue! When Olivia was initially brought up in the convo, the actor claimed that “dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye,” adding, “There’s enough going on between two people. You don’t need the voices of thousands of others in your head. I think she’s got it a lot worse than I have. I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case.”
Then!!!!! After being asked how he blocks out the noise of people online (namely on Instagram) who give their opinions on the ’ship, Louis replied, “If there’s a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they say or not. I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you.”
Good to know!!!!
June 2024
It’s officially Louis’s 21st birthday, and the actor commemorated the occasion by posting a cute baby pic of him dressed as a French man. “One beer s’il vous plaît😎🎈,” he captioned the post, while Olivia seemingly confirmed their ’ship with a sweet comment, writing, “Welcome to the 21 club angel boy!!!! 💓💓💓💓.”

Enter: his *chef’s kiss* carousel on Instagram, which included several edgy architectural shots, photos of a cat and dog, and (most importantly!) a snap of his girlfriend during her show at the Philippine Arena.
Soon after, during an interview with ELLE, Louis was asked whether Olivia’s song “So American” is about him. He cheekily replied with a laugh, saying, “Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn’t know.”
However, he dished that Liv has influenced his music taste. “My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently—Chappell Roan has been on repeat,” he said, referring to Olivia and her former tourmate.

“I love Pub culture, I love how nobody judges you for having a pint at noon. It’s the best,” she continued, adding that she loves sweets from the British store, Marks & Spencer before telling a cute story about her relationship with Louis.
She playfully quipped, “As luck would have it, I also really love English boys, and I wrote this next song while I was falling in love with this boy from London.”
Soon after, Louis posted a series of pics from Olivia’s milestone performance with the sweetest message for his girlfriend.
“I hope you caught Olivia’s show last night. A truly special performance on such a huge scale. She worked her ass off for it and couldn’t be more deserving of all her success and for the great crowd that was watching. What a moment,” he wrote.

For what it’s worth: Neither has confirmed those split rumors, and fans are preeeetty convinced that Liv’s latest single, “drop dead,” was inspired by their Pisces-Gemini romance.
