n a rare public appearance, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo and her boyfriend, English actor Louis Partridge, were spotted strolling through New York City on January 15. The couple, known for keeping their yearlong romance extremely low-profile, seemed to enjoy the brisk winter day with their effortlessly chic outfits that subtly complemented each other.
The 21-year-old "GUTS" singer looked cozy in a gray beanie, a tweed coat, black trousers, and classic white Vans sneakers. Partridge matched her laid-back energy, sporting a beige puffer jacket, distressed jeans, and green-and-white Adidas Sambas.

This isn't entirely surprising, especially considering Rodrigo's past public romance with Joshua Bassett, which inspired her TikTok-viral breakup anthem "Drivers License." The singer has since opted to protect her current love story with Partridge, possibly saving some lyrical inspiration for her next chart-topping album.
While the couple has yet to make a red carpet debut this awards season, fans speculate they might grace the 2025 Grammys together next month. Rodrigo is up for multiple awards, and with her stylists Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo consistently delivering '90s vintage designer ensembles, fans are expecting a major fashion moment. Could this be when they finally step into the spotlight as a power couple? Only time will tell.
This sighting comes just months after Rodrigo was named the new Global Brand Ambassador for Lancôme in November 2024. Her partnership with the luxury beauty brand marks yet another milestone for the 3-time Grammy winner, who continues to solidify her influence both in music and fashion. In her statement about the collaboration, Rodrigo said, "Embracing your individuality is so important in beauty since there are many unrealistic expectations placed on young women today."
Rodrigo's sophomore album "GUTS," which debuted at #1 in 2023, has been streamed over 4.1 billion times on Spotify, cementing her status as a global phenomenon. With her advocacy work for women's rights through her Fund 4 Good initiative, Rodrigo continues to inspire audiences worldwide.

Rodrigo and Partridge seem to be building a quietly enduring connection that doesn't need flashy Instagram hard launches or elaborate declarations.
