Love is decidedly not embarrassing for Olivia Rodrigo and her boyfriend, Louis Partridge.
Rodrigo and Partridge were first linked in fall 2023 when they were spotted packing on the PDA in the actor’s native London.
“Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye,” Partridge told British Vogue in a March 2024 profile. “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.”
He added, “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.”
Five months later, the pop star and Partridge made their red carpet debut at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of his Apple TV+ series Disclaimer.

Up until this point, Rodrigo hadn’t outright confirmed whether she was dating the actor. After dropping sophomore album Guts, fans theorized that the song “So American” was about Partridge.
“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,” Rodrigo sings. “I’d go anywhere he goes / And he says I’m so American /Oh God, I’m gonna marry him / If he keeps this s— up.”
Partridge also declined to address whether he is Rodrigo’s muse, telling Elle the following October, “Not my song, not my place. So, I wouldn’t know.”
Around the same time, eagle-eyed fans kept noticing Partridge attending U.S. shows on Rodrigo’s Guts tour.

Rodrigo performed at London’s Hyde Park on June 27, where she teased her affinity for the country.
“As luck would have it, I really love English boys,” Rodrigo said, introducing “So American,” per concert footage shared via social media. “In particular, one English boy. I wrote this song at a time, where I was really, really crushing on [him]. We were getting to know each other, getting to know all of our various cultural differences like, ‘Oh, wow, you drive on the other side of the road’ or ‘You call every dessert a pudding.’ I was just so fascinated by all the differences.”
Partridge was spotted watching the concert from a perch in the crowd.
