Louis Partridge And Olivia Rodrigo have been coy about their romance, leaving fans to piece together their relationship through the occasional photo or Partridge observation during one of Rodrigo’s concerts.
Partridge, 20, finally addressed the speculation in an interview with British Vogue – kind of. “The meetings should probably not be done in the public eye,” he said in the article published on Sunday (March 17).
“Enough happens between two people,” he continued. “You don’t need the voices of thousands of other people in your head. I think she’s in a much worse situation than me. I can be a bit of a normal person. She has tons and tons of eyes on her case.
Partridge and Rodrigo, 20, have been linked since last fall when The sun first reported that they were together. They were photographed kissing in New York a few weeks later, seemingly confirming the news. Since then, Partridge has been a regular at Rodrigo’s shows as she continues her Tripe World Tour.
“If there are a lot of people talking about you in a room, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they are saying or not,” Partridge added Sunday. “I think you’d probably be better off not letting curiosity get the better of you.”
Rodrigo still hasn’t confirmed the relationship on his end, but at this point, the two aren’t exactly hiding it. Partridge was filmed singing Rodrigo’s “All-American Bitch” while performing at iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball in December 2023. The next day, they were seen leaving the Saturday Night Live afterparty together after Rodrigo appeared as a musical guest.
As British Vogue points out, a look at Partridge’s Instagram feed shows that Rodrigo’s fans have already accepted him as one of their own. They flooded her comments section with Rodrigo GIFs, questions about their relationship status, and even marriage proposals.
That’s a lot for anyone to handle, especially a 20-year-old actor who’s been caught up in a meteoric rise to fame.
The credits for Partridge’s first film have arrived Stove (2015) and box office success Paddington 2 (2017). He later played alongside Millie Bobby Brown In Enola Holmes (2020) and Enola Holmes 2 (2022).
As he spends his time bouncing between auditions and his girlfriend’s gigs, Partridge seems to be in a good place. He closed the interview by confirming this.
“20 is a golden age,” he said. “I think it’s a good thing to be young. And it’s a good thing to have a functioning body. I am grateful for where I am in life and all that lies ahead of me, for better or worse.
