So, if you're wondering how these two met and came to be, here's everything you need to know about Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge's dating timeline, starting with the most recent update.
Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge's relationship timeline
30 August, 2024
Almost a year after they were first linked, Louis and Olivia just sent fans into a spiral by *finally* posing for pictures together - with Louis kissing her on the head no less.
The pair were at the Venice International Film Festival World Premiere of the Apple TV+ limited series DISCLAIMER, which Louis stars in, when they were photographed looking very cosy:
We die.
Now, for the rest of Liv and Louis' relationship...
30 October, 2023
Romance rumours started swirling in late October when The Sun reported that Olivia travelled to London with her bestie, Conan Gray, to visit Louis and spend some time with him.
An alleged insider revealed that Liv and Louis allegedly met through friends, telling the publication: "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 continued. "They have been for dinners and nights out. They hit a club together on Friday night and were acting very coupley."
8 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 spotted singing along in the crowd with Olivia's best friends, Conan Gray and Madison Hu. Her besties approve? Green flag!:
9 December, 2023
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.
14 December, 2023
Well, it looks like these two are officially an item. Per pics obtained by TMZ, Olivia and Louis spent a day frolicking around New York City and packed on some major PDA.
The duo embraced each other and kissed and in a very cheeky move, Louis even placed his hands on Olivia's bum. All of this to say... good 4 them (sorry, we had to!).
18 December, 2023
Nothing says official like a bit of PDA, and Olivia and Louis were spotted strolling hand in hand around New York City on Saturday 18th December, with fans going wild over the new celebrity it couple.
Plus, the cosy couples fashion? We're obsessed!
23 February, 2024
Olivia is officially on her GUTS world tour, with Louis right behind her as he was spotted at her first show in California, US.
He was seen with one of her best friends Iris Apatow, enjoying Liv's performance and fans are even convinced that he whispered, "she looks beautiful" while she sang 'Traitor', as caught on a video posted by Iris on her Instagram Stories.
Louis even posted an Instagram Story of his own, sharing a snap of Olivia performing with the caption, "So so so so good." Does this make them Instagram official? We think so!
17 March, 2024
PSA: Louis has just opened up about his relationship with Olivia for the first time!
In an interview with British Vogue published on 17 March, he told the magazine, “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.
"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 continued. So, how does the deal with all the attention on him and Liv?
"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," he said. "I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you." Well said, Louis!
That's all the updates for now, but we'll keep you in the loop as these two share some more sweet (not sour) moments together. 💜
8 May, 2024
Attention please, because we think Liv and Louis just went official on social media and fans are going wild for it online.
Olivia announced dates for the Asian and Australian leg of her GUTS tour (do we have our purple outfits ready? Yes, we do!) in a TikTok video, which has a very familiar voice in the background. We'll let you be the judge of whether it's Lou or not:
Olivia's fans think it's definitely him, meaning her comments section is filled with speculation. "WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THAT THIS IS THE VOICE OF LOUIS PARTRIDGE?" wrote one fan. Um, we are?!
