Partridge addressed being known as "Mr. Rodrigo," telling Variety that he can "handle that" and that the nickname has been around for some time.

"I’m very happy, and I think she is too, so all is good in our world," he said.

The actor also spoke about Olivia Rodrigo’s headline performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, where she gave him a public shoutout during her set. Introducing her song So American, Rodrigo said it was inspired by the time she “was falling in love with this boy from London,” according to People.

Soon after, Rodrigo’s January 2024 Instagram photo set added to the speculation, according to US Weekly. One of the images showed a dart game scoreboard with “OR” versus “LP.” Fans interpreted the initials as Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge, though neither addressed the speculation at the time.

In a March 2024 interview with British Vogue, Louis Partridge talked about how dating in the spotlight could be overwhelming, especially for Rodrigo.

"Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye. There’s enough going on between two people. You don’t need the voices of thousands of others in your head."

He also said that Rodrigo faced more scrutiny than he did, and that he can be a bit more "normal."

"She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case. I can be a bit of a normal person."

Public appearances and red carpet debut in 2024

By mid-2024, Rodrigo and Partridge began appearing together publicly more often, according to US Weekly. In March 2024, Rodrigo released her album Guts, with fans speculating that the track So American was about Partridge.

The lyrics referenced falling for a British boy, with Rodrigo singing:

"I’d go anywhere he goes / And he says I’m so American / Oh God, I’m gonna marry him / If he keeps this s**t up."

Neither confirmed the speculation. In an interview with Elle in October 2024, Partridge said he "wouldn't know" when asked about the song.

"Not my song, not my place. So, I wouldn’t know," he said.

In August 2024, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Venice International Film Festival for the premiere of Partridge’s Apple TV+ series, Disclaimer. The event also marked their official Instagram debut, with Partridge sharing photos from the festival on his Story, according to US Weekly.

“As luck would have it, I really love English boys. In particular, one English boy. I wrote this song at a time where I was really, really crushing on [him].”

Two days later, she headlined the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, where she again referenced Partridge before performing the same song. Speaking about British traditions like “a pint at noon” and “sticky toffee pudding,” Rodrigo said these were things she grew to enjoy while dating her “boy from London,” according to Parade, in a September 12, 2025, story.

Partridge told Variety on September 12, 2025, that the British cultural references were “my work” and described the Glastonbury experience as “so, so surreal.” He said he had no idea the shoutout was coming, calling it “such a treat and a joy.”

Despite their public appearances, both Rodrigo and Partridge have spoken about balancing privacy with fame. In his British Vogue interview from March 2024, Partridge said ignoring public speculation was often the best approach.

"If there’s a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door… I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you," he added.

Olivia Rodrigo has reportedly not spoken directly about her relationship during public appearances and interviews, but she has included references and shoutouts in her performances.
