Gather 'round, because the time has come for a brief lesson in all things Louis Partridge, man who you are either (a) well aware of/vaguely obsessed with, or (b) in a state of "whomst?" over. Regardless, according to an October 2023 report from The Sun, Olivia Rodrigo seems to be dating Louis and even traveled to England to spend time with him.

As a source put it to the outlet, "Olivia flew to London with her best pal, singer Conan Gray, but it was Louis who she came to see. They met through mutual pals earlier in the year and have been messaging quite a bit. She has spent a few days in the capital hanging out with them all but it’s been Louis who she has been inseparable from. They have been for dinners and nights out. They hit a club together on Friday night and were acting very coupley. It’s really sweet to see her happy."
Then, in December 2023, Olivia and Louis were photographed during a steamy makeout session after he supported her Jingle Ball and SNL performances in NYC. Obviously, the time has come for a dissertation on all things Louis, who—in case you aren't aware—is an actor you've 100 percent seen before. At least, if you're up to date on popular Netflix movies starring Millie Bobby Brown.
Louis Played Lord Tewkesbury in Enola Holmes
20-year-old Louis actually booked the role while in school and said the audition process was pretty grueling.
"The audition process was very long and quite stressful for me," he told Glamour UK back in September 2020. "I was getting more and more attached to this part as the auditions went on, I think I did about four or five auditions. Two of them were with Millie and after the first one I didn't think I'd done well. So, then for a week I was just kicking myself and thinking, 'Oh, we should've done this. I wish I hadn't done this.' But it's always that way for me. But I got a call back and then after my second callback. After my last audition I waited about three weeks and meanwhile I was doing my GCSE's. I was revising and my focus was shifting to the job. I found out I got it on the day of an exam that I was doing. I was just so over the moon I just completely messed up the exam, but I mean, it was completely worth it."
And He Played Sid Vicious in Pistol
'Kay, I see it.
He's Starred in *Major* Fashion Campaigns
That's right, he's an actor and a model. Probably due to all things cheekbones.
He Doesn't Come From an Acting Family
In other words, Louis is not a nepo baby. He a September 2020 Glass Magazine interview, he revealed, "My dad always wanted to be an actor, so I sometimes feel like he’s living vicariously through me. But yeah, he didn’t become an actor. I think his mum said to him: 'You won’t earn a penny. You need a proper job.' But I was very much supported. My parents aren’t actors at all."
S'cute!
He's Obsessed With Music and Skateboarding
Outside of acting, Louis previously told Glass, "I listen to a lot of music. I have a completely crazy taste, but at the moment I’m quite into my ‘50s sort of Doo-Wop 4-man A Cappella band. I go skateboarding. I go to London shopping in Soho. I’m a big fan of Dover Street Market—I go there quite a bit. I can’t really afford much of it, but I love it! I often skateboard around there with my mates and around Southbank as well."
He's Dated Other Famous Faces
Yep, prior to Olivia, Louis was linked to Sydney Chandler—aka actor Kyle Chandler's daughter. After both working on Pistol, the two were believed to be together in May 2022 when Louis told The Face he was dating someone, and even went on to describe them as an "ex-friend turned girlfriend [who’s] in the business."
And around that same time, the two definitely appeared to be 👀 at premiere events. Ahem:

He and Olivia Finally (!!!) Confirmed Their 'Ship
Alright, it was subtle, but Olivia pretty much confirmed her 'ship with Louis as she left the sweetest comment on his Instagram to celebrate his 21st birthday. The Enola Holmes actor posted an adorable baby pic where he sported a beret and fake mustache. He wrote, "One beer s’il vous plaît😎🎈" while Liv commented, "welcome to the 21 club angel boy!!!! 💓💓💓💓."

During a March 2024 British Vogue interview, when the singer's name was brought up, Louis noted that "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. I think she’s got it a lot worse than I have. I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case."
But wait! There's more...
After being asked how he blocks out the noise of people online (namely on Instagram) who give their opinions on the 'ship, the actor replied, "If there’s a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they say or not. I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you."
Low-key cryptic, but we're here for it!
Either way, Louis and Olivia seem perfect for each other, so in conclusion: We ship!
