Olivia Rodrigo is setting the rumor mill ablaze as she steps out in Los Angeles, flaunting a sparkling diamond ring on *that* finger. The 22-year-old songstress was spotted enjoying a casual Sunday stroll with British actor Louis Partridge, hand-in-hand, and the dazzling accessory didn’t escape the notice of her eagle-eyed fans.
This outing comes hot on the heels of their affectionate display at Wimbledon just a few weeks back, where they shared passionate kisses amidst the tennis action. Naturally, this has everyone wondering – are these two lovebirds headed down the aisle? Let’s dive into what we know so far.
Olivia and Louis first caught the public’s eye in October 2023, cozying up in London and sparking dating rumors. Fast forward a few months, and they were photographed locking lips in New York City, cementing their status as one of pop culture’s favorite couples. However, despite the whirlwind romance, it seems wedding bells might not be in the immediate future.
While the ring has certainly caught attention, fans were quick to point out a familiar detail – Olivia has worn this very ring before. In a heartfelt interview with GQ, she shared the sentimental story behind it.
“I was really close with her, and she helped me through a lot, and she got me this ring when we wrapped. It says ‘WRITE THE SONGS OF YOUR HEART,’” Rodrigo revealed, referring to a meaningful gift from her makeup artist during her High School Musical days.
Despite not rushing into marriage, Olivia and Louis appear to be going strong. Their romance even inspired Olivia’s 2023 hit, 'So American,' where she cheekily sings about tying the knot if things keep going well. At Glastonbury, she gave a shout-out to her Brit boyfriend, mixing love and laughter in her performance.
In an October 2024 chat with Elle, Louis was quizzed about whether 'So American' was about him. Though he played coy, he did admit that Olivia’s musical tastes have influenced him, sharing, “My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently. Chappell Roan has been on repeat.”
Louis, who charmingly described himself as a "golden retriever" boyfriend in a British Vogue interview, acknowledged the challenges of dating someone as famous as Olivia. “I think she’s got it a lot worse than I have,” he said. “I can be a bit of a normal person. She's got tons and tons of eyes on her case. Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye.”
