Forget Paris—Venice is stealing the spotlight as the new city of love. The Venice Film Festival has become the ultimate stage for starry-eyed couples eager to make a splash. It all started when Justin Theroux revealed his engagement to Nicole Brydon Bloom at the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiere, and now Olivia Rodrigo has made headlines by showing up as Louis Partridge’s plus-one.
What’s next? Lady Gaga tying the knot on a water taxi en route to the Joker: Folie à Deux premiere? Only time will tell, but for now, let’s talk about Rodrigo and Partridge. Partridge is attending the festival as a star of Alfonso Cuarón’s new Apple TV+ series, Disclaimer, and Rodrigo is there to support him as his girlfriend.
Adorable! The couple was first spotted kissing at a New York gas station late last year, and since then, Partridge has been seen attending several shows on Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour. She even dedicated a song to him, adding it to her setlist mid-tour. But their appearance at the Venice Film Festival marks their official public debut as a couple.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, although they didn’t walk the red carpet hand-in-hand, they were inseparable at the prescreening cocktail reception and the after-party. In between, they enjoyed the screening of Disclaimer together. Rodrigo was the epitome of a proud girlfriend, capturing the moment as Partridge received a big round of applause from the audience.
