Get ready to be wowed, everyone, because Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge have officially put to rest any speculation about their relationship! In an adorable Instagram story, Louis Partridge shared a beautiful black-and-white photo of him and Olivia Rodrigo holding hands and with eyes full of love, staring into each other’s faces. This moment comes just after the two of them received a lot of attention at the 2024 Venice Film Festival for their head-turning looks in not only one but two impressive outfits.
Rumors about the romance of Olivia Rodrigo and the dashing Louis popped up back in October 2023, when the two were spotted enjoying a night out together in London. Lou has since been Olivia’s number one supporter, even making special appearances at some of her biggest gigs, like SNL and the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball. Though the two were initially pretty coy about the whole situation, their affection was glowing against the gorgeous backdrop of Venice, where they recently vacationed.
An Apple TV+ dinner glittering with celebrities provided the perfect opportunity for the paparazzi to catch Olivia and Louis looking adorably affectionate—arms wrapped around each other, stolen kisses, and all. While Olivia was coy about their relationship during a July interview with Vogue, it seems she and Lou are officially an item now that they’ve had a chance to steal some private time together. Lou commented on dating in the public eye back in March, during a round of promotional press for his own project. He acknowledged the added challenge of Olivia being, well, Olivia.
