A Complete Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge Relationship Timeline

It's felt like a successful past couple years for relationships for all of our favorite pop girlies—with the ongoing reign of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and, well, the unfortunate end to the romance between Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan—and latest on the list? Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge. The pair began dating in late 2023 and have emerged as one of current times' buzziest young power couples. 

Previously, Rodrigo was romantically linked to DJ Zack Bia, and the pair dated for over six months, before they split in late 2022. Fans have speculated that the heartbreaking hit track "Vampire" is about the singer's relationship with the producer. Partridge, an actor known for his work in Pistol portraying Sid Vicious, dated co-star Sydney Chandler throughout 2021 and 2022, but the couple split towards the end of 2022. 

Curious to know how the fairy tale romance between the pop star and Enola Holmes actor began? Join L'OFFICIEL in taking a deep dive into the couple's relationship timeline, all the way from their first PDA session to their most recent public sighting—a joint red carpet appearance at Venice Film Festival, marking their public debut as a couple. Read on for the couple's dating history.

October 2023

Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge first made headlines with their relationship after the pair were spotted together in London in October 2023. After photos of the actor and singer began circulating media outlets and the Internet, fans began speculating whether the two had recently begun dating, as they appeared very comfortable with one another.

Just a few days after the photos swirled around the Internet, a source close to Rodrigo told the US Sun: “Olivia flew to London [last week] with her best pal, singer Conan Gray, but it was Louis who she came to see." The couple reportedly met through mutual friends and began messaging back and forth before taking their budding relationship to the next level with in-person hangouts. 

“They have been for dinners and nights out. They hit a club together and were acting very couple-y. It’s really sweet to see her happy,” the same source said. 

December 2023

On December 8, Louis Partridge was spotted in the crowd of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in New York during Olivia Rodrigo's performance. Nearby concertgoers captured photos and videos of the actor with Conan Gray and Madison Hu, two of Rodrigo's best friends. Online, fans noted Partridge's wide smile and passionate singing and dancing during his rumored girlfriend's set. 

Just a few days later, Partridge and Rodrigo were photographed kissing in NYC, confirming speculations about the nature of their relationship. While neither party spoke publicly about their newly minted couple status, their December PDA session told media and fans everything they needed to know. 

February 2024

By February 2024, Louis Partridge became a regular at Olivia Rodrigo's concerts, and a clip of the actor in the crowd at a concert that month watching his girlfriend circulated on X and TikTok after fans noticed him holding his plastic cup in his mouth to better capture a video of her performance and applauded his dedication. 

March 2024

At a Chicago concert, a fan captured a sweet video of Louis Partridge approaching Rodrigo with a hug after yet another successful show. The clip subsequently went viral on TikTok, with users commenting "boyfriend goals" and "me and who," evidently simultaneously happy for the couple and envious at the same time—after all, who wouldn't be?

In late March 2024, Rodrigo dropped Guts (Spilled), the deluxe edition of her 2023 album. The new release included several previously unreleased tracks like fan-favorites "Obsessed" and "So American," which Livies—or fans of Olivia Rodrigo—have speculated is about the singer's current boyfriend. "So American" stood out to fans as it is the only love song currently in the singer's discography, with other tracks revolving around themes of heartbreak, betrayal, insecurity, and fame. 

In the bridge of "So American," Rodrigo sings: "And he laughs at all my jokes / And he says I'm so American / Oh, God, it's just not fair of him / To make me feel this much / I'd go anywhere he goes / And he says I'm so American / Oh, God, I'm gonna marry him / If he keeps this shit up / I might just be in lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love"

Because she sings about a new relationship with an unnamed, presumably non-American partner, fans took to the Internet to theorize whether or not it was about Partridge, as the track was recorded shortly before the release of the deluxe album—a time period during which Rodrigo was publicly romantically linked to the actor. 

April 2024

On April 20, following Olivia Rodrigo's appearance at Coachella, where she sang on stage with Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, Rodrigo and her boyfriend, Louis Partridge, were photographed on a dinner date in Los Angeles, which fans took as a signal that all is well in the world of the "Obsessed" singer. 

August 2024

At the 2024 Venice Film Festival, the couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Partridge's film Disclaimer. Rodrigo brought the utmost glamour in a sheer black Rodarte slip dress, perfectly accessorized and reminiscent of the ’90s.  Aside from the buzzy red carpet moment, fans noticed the couple step onto a boat together, and captured plenty of heartwarming scenes between the pair throughout their appearance at the festival.

October 2024

Partridge makes his relationship with the singer Instagram official on Oct. 6, 2024. The couple spent time together in Manila, Philippines, which was a stop on Rodrigo's "Guts World Tour." His post consists of edgy, black and white photographs and he, very sneakily, added an image of the Sour singer in concert at the Philippine Arena. 

November 2024

The couple attended a Premier League match between Manchester United and Chelsea in Manchester, England. Fans were ecstatic to see Rodrigo sporting a necklace with the actor's initial on it, showing the world that their love remains strong. 

February 2025

Louis and Olivia made a rare public appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, and the two were inseparable. They've been spotted walking down NYC and other cities, but red carpet events remain a rarity for the pair and love was in the air, even though the singer didn't take home any awards.
