Fans of pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo and actor Louis Partridge have been left heartbroken by reports that the young celebrity couple have gone their separate ways. The pair, both 22, had been together for two years and were considered by many to be relationship 'goals'.
Emotional Fallout at a London Christmas Party
The first signs of trouble emerged when Olivia Rodrigo attended Lily Allen's festive bash at London's Stringfellows strip club solo last week. A source told The Sun that Olivia became emotional while discussing the end of her romance with the 'House of Guinness' star. "It's really sad right now," the insider revealed, adding that her friends have been rallying around her during this difficult time.
The source explained that it had not been an "easiest few weeks" for the couple, leading them to decide to "be apart for now." Neither Rodrigo nor Partridge has publicly confirmed the split. Metro has contacted their representatives for comment.
A Look Back at Their Whirlwind Romance
The pair's love story began in October 2023 at a Halloween party in London. Olivia was there with friend Conan Grey, and she and Louis were soon photographed in a display of serious PDA. By December, Louis was spotted in New York with Olivia's friends watching her perform at the Jingle Bell Ball.
They made their relationship official in August 2024, debuting as a couple at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of Louis's Apple TV series, 'Disclaimer'. They maintained a relatively private relationship but shared sweet moments, like when Louis joined Olivia in Manila during her world tour. As recently as this year, they appeared loved-up at events like the Grammys and Wimbledon.
In Their Own Words: Songs, Praise, and Privacy
Olivia Rodrigo has famously used her music to express her feelings. Fans believe the track 'So American' from her 'GUTS Spilled' deluxe album is about Louis, with lyrics referencing driving on the "right-side road" (a nod to the UK) and singing "I'm gonna marry him." She has also supported his career, urging her Instagram followers to watch 'House of Guinness' on Netflix.
For his part, Louis Partridge has been publicly supportive. After Olivia's historic Glastonbury headline set in 2025, he praised her "truly special performance" on Instagram. In a September interview with Variety, he simply stated, "I'm very happy. And I think she is too, so all is good in our world."
However, Louis has also spoken about the challenges of a public relationship. In a March 2024 Vogue interview, he admitted, "Dating probably shouldn't be done in the public eye," noting that Olivia faced intense scrutiny. "There's enough going on between two people," he said. "You don't need the voices of thousands of others in your head."
The split has come as a shock to fans who adored their low-key yet supportive dynamic. With Olivia hinting to Nylon that 2026 will be "a busy year," potentially for new music, the world will be watching to see how both stars move forward.
