Louis Partridge and Olivia Rodrigo have kept quiet about their rumored relationship, with fans trying to piece together clues from occasional photos or sightings of Partridge at Rodrigo's concerts.
In a recent interview with British Vogue, the 20-year-old Partridge finally touched on the speculation, mentioning that he believes dating should probably be kept private and not in the public eye.
He continued, "There's already enough happening between two people. You don't need the opinions of thousands of others buzzing in your mind. I feel like she's dealing with a lot more pressure than I am. I can manage to be a regular person. She's constantly under the scrutiny of many."
Partridge and Rodrigo, who are both 20 years old, have been romantically linked since last autumn, as reported by The Sun. They were seen kissing in New York a few weeks later, seemingly confirming the rumors. Since then, Partridge has been a frequent presence at Rodrigo's concerts as she carries on with her Guts World Tour.
"It's up to you whether you want to eavesdrop on a group of people gossiping about you in a room," Partridge mentioned on Sunday. "It's probably best not to let your curiosity get the best of you."

Louis Partridge and Rodrigo have not officially confirmed their relationship yet, but it seems like they are not keeping it a secret. At the iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball in December 2023, Partridge was caught on video singing along to Rodrigo’s song “All-American Bitch” while she was performing.
The following day, the two were spotted leaving the Saturday Night Live afterparty together. This was after Rodrigo had appeared as the musical guest on the show.
Partridge’s Instagram feed clearly shows how Rodrigo’s fans have embraced him as one of their own, as noted by British Vogue. They have flooded his comments with GIFs of Rodrigo, inquiries about their relationship status, and even marriage proposals.
Dealing with such overwhelming attention can be challenging for anyone, especially for a 20-year-old actor like Partridge who has quickly risen to fame.
Partridge started his film career with roles in Pan (2015) and the successful movie Paddington 2 (2017). He later appeared in Enola Holmes (2020) and its sequel Enola Holmes 2 (2022) alongside Millie Bobby Brown.
Balancing auditions and attending his girlfriend's concerts, Partridge appears to be content with where he is at the moment. In a recent interview, he expressed his satisfaction with his current situation.
"It's nice to be 20," he said with a smile. "I feel lucky to be young and healthy. I'm thankful for where I am in life and all the experiences that lie ahead, good or bad."
