Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge Dating Again? Fact-Checking Claims as Robert Smith’s Young Photos Resurface After Duet

Olivia Rodrigo’s third album has sparked fresh online attention, with fans and social media accounts circulating claims that she may have reunited with actor Louis Partridge. The rumors gained traction after a post on June 9 alleged that Rodrigo and Partridge were “dating again,” alongside a side-by-side photo of the two. The post quickly spread across platforms and reportedly drew millions of views. However, the claim remains unverified, and neither Rodrigo nor Partridge has publicly commented on their relationship status.

The source of the rumor appears to be a page called Buzz Crave, which describes itself as a parody or satirical account. Despite the post’s popularity, there is no confirmed evidence that the pair are back together. Still, the speculation intensified after the release of Rodrigo’s new album, as listeners began connecting its lyrics to her personal life.

Much of the conversation centers on the track “Stupid Song,” which fans believe contains references to Partridge. Several lines in the song describe intense affection and longing, leading many listeners to interpret the lyrics as being inspired by her relationship with him. On social media, fans have openly debated whether the song is about Partridge, adding to the renewed interest in the singer’s private life.

Rodrigo has previously said the album was shaped by her first adult relationship and by what she learned about romantic love through that experience. In interviews, she described the project as a reflection of a “big girl” relationship and said intimacy can reveal parts of oneself that are not always visible otherwise. Those comments have only fueled speculation among fans, who believe the songs may point to real people and real experiences.

Rodrigo and Partridge were first linked in October 2023, and breakup rumors began circulating in December 2025. Partridge, meanwhile, is known for his work in Netflix’s “Enola Holmes” films, as well as appearances in “Medici,” “Pan,” and “Paddington 2.”

The album has also brought renewed attention to another music figure: Robert Smith of The Cure. Rodrigo performed a duet with Smith on the song “what’s wrong with me,” and the veteran rocker praised her after the performance, calling her “fantastic” and saying he admires how naturally she handles her success. The collaboration has also prompted a wave of interest in Smith’s younger photos, which have been widely shared online.

Rodrigo has long expressed admiration for The Cure, and the new collaboration further highlighted that influence. As fans continue dissecting the album’s lyrics and meanings, the project has become a major talking point not only for its music, but also for the celebrity speculation and cultural conversations surrounding it.
