Reports have surfaced that Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge have ended their relationship after nearly two years together. The split allegedly occurred a few weeks ago, leaving fans surprised and saddened.

According to sources, the "Driver's License" singer was seen "emotional" at Lily Allen's Christmas party held at Stringfellows strip club in London on Saturday night. A source told The Sun that Rodrigo, 22, "broke down in tears" while discussing the breakup with friends, who have been rallying around her. "It's just been pretty rough. It's really sad right now," the source added.

While neither Rodrigo nor Partridge, 22, have officially confirmed the split, sources close to the couple suggest that the breakup was a mutual decision made after a "tough period". An insider revealed, "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".

Rodrigo and Partridge were first linked in October 2023 when they were spotted together in London. Their relationship blossomed after Rodrigo visited Partridge while he was in London, and they were seen celebrating Halloween together. They confirmed their romance in December 2023 after being photographed sharing a kiss in New York City. Since then, they have made several public appearances together, including their red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival in August 2024 for the premiere of Partridge's film, Disclaimer. Partridge also supported Rodrigo during her Guts World Tour.

Prior to the breakup reports, Partridge had expressed his support for Rodrigo and admiration for her achievements, including headlining Glastonbury this summer. In September, when asked about being known as "Mr. Olivia Rodrigo," Partridge told Variety, "I can handle that. I'm very happy, and I think she is too, so all is good in our world". He had also mentioned in March 2024 that he preferred to keep his love life out of the public eye.

The news of the split has sparked speculation among fans regarding the reasons behind it. Some suggest that their demanding professional commitments may have contributed to the breakup. Others believe that the intense public scrutiny surrounding their relationship may have played a role. An anonymous source mentioned that the couple had allegedly hit a "rough patch".

Despite the sadness surrounding the breakup, some fans are speculating that this experience may inspire Rodrigo's songwriting, with some anticipating new music in the style of her hit breakup anthems. Rodrigo's past relationships have served as inspiration for her music, including her breakout single "Drivers License" and her song "Vampire".
