Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge have officially taken their relationship public, confirming months of speculation with a series of playful, affectionate social media posts following this year’s Glastonbury Festival. After keeping things low-key since rumors first linked them in October 2023, the pair finally gave fans a closer look into their romance. Rodrigo’s July 1 Instagram carousel marked a turning point—her first post clearly featuring Partridge’s face, along with intimate moments that left no doubt about their status as a couple.
The Glastonbury post included several clips from the British music festival, but the standout moments involved Partridge: one video showed Rodrigo perched on his shoulders in the crowd, laughing and singing along, while another captured him spraying her with champagne backstage. Until this post, Rodrigo had only ever shared photos where Partridge’s face remained obscured. This time, she dropped the veil completely, and he responded in kind—liking the post and then sharing his own public tribute to her performance.
Partridge’s Instagram post, made a day earlier on June 30, praised Rodrigo’s set with heartfelt words: “A truly special performance on such a huge scale… she worked her ass off for it and couldn’t be more deserving.” Rodrigo playfully replied, “glastonBERRY ilysm,” adding to a growing string of affectionate public exchanges between the two. On the same day, she posted another photo from the weekend, and Partridge chimed in again with a simple yet telling comment: “Ur the best.” Fans quickly picked up on the flirtatious tone, with many declaring it their “Instagram official” moment.
The couple kept the momentum going with a surprise public appearance on July 2 at Wimbledon. Sitting in the Royal Box, they were dressed to impress—Rodrigo in a polished red and white Ralph Lauren gingham shirtdress and retro-style glasses, Partridge in a sharp navy dinner jacket with a striped burgundy tie and light blue shirt. Their coordinated looks and relaxed chemistry on display in one of Britain’s most high-profile settings only further solidified their newly public dynamic.
Though they’ve appeared together at events in the past—including a joint outing at the 2024 Grammys—they had been careful to keep their relationship somewhat private. That discretion seems to be shifting now, as both Rodrigo and Partridge lean into sharing glimpses of their connection. Last fall, Partridge spoke to ELLE about his approach to relationships, calling himself a “Golden Retriever boyfriend” and describing a natural, loyal dynamic that he embraces. He painted a picture of himself as easygoing and grounded, hinting at a relationship built on quiet support rather than flashy headlines.
With their Glastonbury reveal and Wimbledon debut, Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge have officially stepped into the spotlight together. And judging by the warmth of their interactions and the enthusiasm from fans, they’re doing so on their own terms—slowly, sincerely, and with no shortage of charm.
