Is Olivia Rodrigo Dating Louis Partridge?
Not anymore. The “Good 4 U” artist and the English actor first sparked dating rumors in October 2023. The duo was spotted spending time together in London. According to multiple fan-recorded clips and photos, Olivia and Louis were seen walking with their arms around each other.
Later that month, The Sun reported that Olivia was, indeed, dating Louis. An insider told the outlet that the Grammy Award winner “flew to London with her best pal, singer Conan Gray, but it was Louis who she came to see. They met through mutual pals earlier in the year and have been messaging quite a bit.”

The source added that Olivia and Louis had “been [out] for dinners and nights out” and even “hit a club together on Friday night and were acting very coupl-ey. It’s really sweet to see her happy.”
Less than two months later, Louis and Olivia fueled relationship rumors when he was spotted cheering her on at the iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City. Fans spotted him in the crowd and shared clips of the actor while Olivia brought the house down at Madison Square Garden. Later that week, Olivia performed on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest, and she and Louis were reportedly spotted leaving an afterparty together that evening.
In mid-December, Olivia and Louis indirectly confirmed that they were in a relationship after being photographed making out and enjoying a date in New York City.
During a March 2024 interview with British Vogue, Louis broke his silence on their relationship, while noting that her celebrity status can be overwhelming.
“I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case,” he explained. “Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye. There’s enough going on between two people. You don’t need the voices of thousands of others in your head.”
