Olivia Rodrigo is setting the record straight. In a new profile with The Hollywood Reporter, the 23-year-old singer confirmed she’s single and pushed back on the nonstop dating speculation that follows her every move.“I’m single, I don’t have a boyfriend,”she said, adding that being stalked outside her home and having those photos used as“evidence that you’re a bad person”is“just the craziest thing.”
The speculation isn’t exactly coming from nowhere. Rodrigo dated actor Louis Partridge from 2023 to 2025, and the two never publicly addressed a breakup, which left fans piecing together their own timeline. This summer, she was photographed in NYC with private equity associate Julian Croonenberghs, and the internet ran with it again. Rodrigo’s point is that a casual date shouldn’t automatically become a relationship announcement.
She also opened up about a very different life path. Without“Drivers License,”she thinks she would’ve gone to college and worked in nonprofits, and she still says she’d love to return to school, though her Unraveled Tour keeps her on the move with no single home base for more than two or three months at a time.
Do you think fans and media should back off celebrity dating rumors, or is it just part of the job?
