Olivia Rodrigo took a break from her Guts World Tour to visit Venice, where she supported her boyfriend, actor Louis Partridge, at the city’s renowned film festival. The duo made their first red carpet appearance together on Thursday during the premiere of Partridge’s new series Disclaimer.
Rodrigo stunned in a black floral semi-sheer gown, accessorized with Lowercase NYC sunglasses and striking red lipstick, while Partridge looked dapper in a gray suit. The couple was captured holding hands as they headed to the event.
Rodrigo and Partridge were first rumored to be dating in October 2023. By March 2024, Rodrigo released a track titled “So American,” which fans speculated was inspired by their romance. In the song, she hints at her growing affection for her British partner, singing, “And he says I’m so American / Oh God, I’m gonna marry him / If he keeps this shit up.”
In an interview with British Vogue the same month, Partridge shared his thoughts on keeping their relationship private. He expressed that dating shouldn’t be conducted under public scrutiny, noting, “There’s already so much to pass between two people without the added noise of thousands of opinions.” He acknowledged the difference in their public profiles, admitting that Rodrigo faces far more intense public attention than he does.
Despite keeping their relationship low-key, their mutual support is clear. Partridge has been seen attending several of Rodrigo’s concerts, highlighting their commitment to being there for one another during career milestones.
