Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge have split after more than two years together.
The US singer, 22, and her British actor boyfriend, 22, reportedly ended their relationship a few weeks back.
Just last month House Of Guinness star Louis raved about his girlfriend in an interview with Esquire UK, declaring that he had ‘no doubt that we’re both in a relationship for the right reason.’
But it’s now thought the couple will be spending the holiday season apart.
Olivia was spotted in tears at her friend Lily Allen’s Christmas party at strip club Stringfellows in London this week as she talked with pals about the split.
A source said: ‘They made such a lovely couple so people who know them were shocked when they heard.’

‘It’s not been the easiest few weeks for them and they decided it’s better to be apart for now,’ the insider added to The Sun.
‘Olivia was at Lily’s party and emotional when she was talking about it. Her friends have rallied around her but it’s just been pretty rough. It’s really sad right now.’
Representatives for Olivia and Louis have been contacted by Daily Mail for comment.
In October the couple looked absolutely smitten as they enjoyed a night of thrills at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood.
And just a month before Louis raved about Olivia during his interview with Esquire UK, making rare comments about their romance.
‘I just have no doubt that we’re both in a relationship for the right reason, for example. I’m sure that’s something you have to think about when you reach a certain level of success,’ he explained.
‘It’s nice to know that we can go to things together, and it’s not the maddest thing in the world that you’re sitting opposite who knows what. You’ve got a friend in those times.’
The British star also broke his silence on their very loved-up display at Wimbledon, where they were seen passionately kissing in the stands.

‘I was not aware that was going to be a thing. I did see a lot of photos from that, it felt quite public. Olivia and I choose, or have been choosing, to not be so public,’ he said.
‘Obviously, it has been quite a big summer for her with Glastonbury, but there’s a sanctity to being private.’
The pair first made headlines as a couple when they were spotted together in his hometown, London, in October 2023.
In a October 2024 interview with Elle magazine, Louis playfully dodged questions about whether Olivia’s song, So American, was about him.
At the time, he laughed and said, ‘Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn’t know.’
He did, however, share that Olivia has influenced his music taste, saying, ‘My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently. Chappell Roan has been on repeat.’
Describing his own approach to relationships, Louis said he sees himself as a ‘golden retriever’ boyfriend type — easygoing and loyal.

‘I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I’ve known,’ he explained. ‘A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.’
In April 2024, he spoke again on the relationship, this time to British Vogue.
‘I think she’s got it a lot worse than I have,’ he said. ‘I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case.
‘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.’
Louis was previously romantically linked to actress Sydney Chandler, who he met on the set of the FX series Pistol.
Olivia has previously dated record producer, Zack Bia, and actors Ethan Wacker and Ethan Wacker.
