Did Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge spend a ‘tropical New Year’ together amid breakup rumours? Here’s what we know
Pop culture took a hit last week after reports claimed pop princess Olivia Rodrigo and her British actor beau Louis Partridge had split after two years together. The Sun alleged that the 23-year-old singer was seen heartbroken at Lily Allen’s Christmas party following the reported breakup, fuelling online rumours that the Drivers License star had been blindsided. Some even speculated that Rodrigo was working on an album filled with romantic nods to the Enola Holmes actor.
However, a new claim now suggests that Olivia and Louis may have worked things out and even rung in the New Year together. Fans are now questioning whether the breakup happened at all or if it was simply online gossip.
What did reports say about Olivia and Louis’ breakup?
According to The Sun, a British tabloid reporting on the Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge breakup, the pair—who had been together for nearly two years—quietly ended their relationship a few weeks ago after what insiders described as a “difficult” period for both of them. Sources told the outlet that friends were shocked by the news and that it was “better to be apart for now”, explaining that Rodrigo was visibly emotional about the split while attending Lily Allen’s Christmas party in London, where close pals reportedly rallied around her as she opened up about the breakup. Neither Rodrigo nor Partridge has publicly confirmed the reported split.

New report claims the couple celebrated New Year together
Days after the breakup reports surfaced, an anonymous source told DeuxMoi, an Instagram gossip page, that the GUTS hitmaker and her boyfriend had actually spent New Year’s together. Without naming the couple, the source claimed, “This young couple’s ‘breakup’ has been discussed heavily over the past few weeks, but I can reveal that the pop star and actor have seemingly worked things out. They’re currently enjoying a tropical New Year’s vacation before the year gets really busy for both of them.”

Fans now question whether the breakup news was even true at all
Fans are now questioning whether the breakup news was ever true at all. The latest anonymous submission to DeuxMoi has sparked fresh doubt, with many suggesting the reports may have been nothing more than online rumour. Some fans also pointed out inconsistencies in earlier DeuxMoi claims, noting that a previous source had alleged Olivia was completely blindsided by the supposed split.
Notably, skepticism had already been growing, as Louis continued to follow Olivia on Instagram, and neither removed photos of each other from their socials — a move many fans believe would have been the couple’s first step if the breakup had actually happened.
