Ever wondered about the men behind Olivia Rodrigo’s heartbreak hits?
Over the years, the Drivers License singer and global pop sensation has been linked to a string of eligible and not-so eligible bachelors, sparking some interesting romance rumors.
From an adorable tween fling with Ethan Wacker to an awkward love triangle involving Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo’s dating history is anything but boring! Ready to find out who actually passed the vibe check, and who was a brutal mistake?
Let’s dive into boyfriends, rumored romances (Conan Gray, anyone?), and all the juicy details in between. Here’s a timeline of Olivia’s relationships and flings that fueled the headlines!
FYI: Other than her official romances, this list also contains guys that Olivia was *rumored* to be dating.
Who Has Olivia Rodrigo Dated Over the Years?
Jump to:
Ex: Ethan Wacker
Who is He? Actor
Dated In: 2018 – 2019
Did this Disney princess almost find her prince in 2018?
First up in Olivia Rodrigo’s dating history is this actor! The superstar revealed she was dating Ethan Wacker back in 2019 while the pair were filming Disney’s Bizaardvark. Though the co-stars managed to keep things on the DL for six months, they finally spilled the tea to fans via a now-deleted Instagram post from Ethan, captioned: “Happy 6 months! You are the greatest.”
Sadly, the couple called it quits later that year and scrubbed their socials clean of any evidence they were ever a thing. Was Drivers License anything to do with Ethan? He certainly doesn’t think so. “I treated her well,” he wrote in a TikTok comment in 2021.
Rumored Ex: Joshua Bassett
Who is He? Actor and Singer
Dated In: 2019 – 2020
Ready for drama? Buckle up!
Liv and Joshua first met on the set of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series in 2019, and while they never officially confirmed a relationship, many found their chemistry a little *too* believable to be just for camera.
Only a year after they were rumored to be dating, their relationship seemingly ended, and Joshua was linked to Sabrina Carpenter.
Then, Olivia released heartbreak anthem Drivers License and fueled speculation of a love triangle. Her lyric “And you’re probably with that blonde girl,” started the drama, before Joshua released Lie Lie Lie, and Sabrina sang “Maybe blonde was the only rhyme.”
Was this legit beef? Who knows! But it made for some pretty intense lyrical warfare!

Ex: Adam Faze
Who is He? Producer and Singer
Dated In: 2021 – 2022
Was Olivia “fazed” about her break up in 2022? (sorry, we had to!)
Olivia reportedly started dating producer and singer Adam Faze back in 2021, after meeting him through friends in the industry. At the time the couple were spotted smooching in public, and even attended the Space Jam 2 premiere together. Although the duo seemed to be besotted with one another, People Magazine confirmed their breakup the following year.
While there were no obvious reasons for the split, Olivia did suggest she was in a better place after the break up: “I’m writing songs and I’m really happy. I’m a lot happier than I was when I wrote that record, which is great,” she told People in June 2022.
Rumored Ex: Vinnie Hacker
Who is He? TikTok Star and Model
Dated In: May 2022
From Wacker to Hacker… Yup, two of Olivia Rodrigo’s “exes’” names really do rhyme. (She needs to make that a lyric, IMHO.)
Anyway, back to the point.
Look, we know these two would have been, like, totes adorbs together. But, sadly, their relationship appeared to be yet another nugget of hearsay spurred on by the rumor mill.
TikToker Vinnie was first linked to Olivia back in May ‘22 when they were spotted on a night out in LA, even sharing a hug before parting ways. Although this news got some fans excited, Vinnie quickly put the rumors to bed in a TikTok video about his love life. A fan wrote: “Olivia??” to which Vinnie replied “No,” along with a crying emoji.
Ex: Zack Bia
Who is He? DJ and Producer
Dated In: February – August 2022
Who else has Olivia been linked to?
Liv and music mogul Zack Bia had a brief romance in 2022, first being linked in February, then confirmed to be dating by June.
The pair were spotted looking loved up at many events, including Rodrigo’s 19th bday bash and on her Sour tour. But, sadly, by August, their relationship had come to a halt, supposedly due to “busy schedules.”
While fans wondered whether Rodrigo’s Vampire was about Bia, Zack clapped back at the claims, noting there was no drama between them. “I don’t think it’s really about me. I think the internet just ran with it,” Bia told GQ. Rodrigo later alluded to “regretting” some of her past relationships but didn’t mention Bia by name.
Rumored Ex: Conan Gray
Who is He? Singer-songwriter
Dated In: November 2023
How do you trigger Cone and Liv stans using less than 100 characters? Like this, apparently…
In 2023, the Daily Mail tweeted: “Olivia Rodrigo’s boyfriend Conan Gray wears more makeup than his lady love.”
Aside from this being *somewhat* problematic (god forbid, a man wearing makeup!?), it also led to tons of Twitter users defending Olivia and her self-certified “sad boy” pop star bestie.
Aware they weren’t dating, one user slammed the news site for spreading misinformation about Liv’s love life: “Do y’all not fact check a single thing?” While another simply put: “well no.”
After meeting online, the duo have become close and often leave cute comments for each other, like this one on Insta: “Olivia pls float on your purple moon to my city thank you.” Ugh. Adorable!

Boyfriend: Louis Partridge
Who is He? Actor
Dated In: October 2023 – Now
Does Louis really need an intro?
Liv and British heartthrob Louis Partridge first sparked hook up rumors in October 2023 after being spotted in London walking arm in arm. Fast-forward to December, and they’d been caught smooching at a gas station in NYC.
The pair, who reportedly met through mutual friends, were messaging online, and by the time they’d been papped making out, fans decided they no longer needed “official” proof these guys were an item — it was kinda… well… obvious?
In June ‘24, Liv posted on Insta for her beau’s bday, commenting: “Welcome to the 21 club angel boy,” with pink hearts. Then, shortly after, the couple made their first public appearance together at the August Venice Film Festival.
Liv seems all loved up with Louis RN, but judging by her past rocky relationships, it may be a bit too soon to say whether these two are in it for the long haul.
What do you think of Olivia Rodrigo’s dating history? Do you reckon Louis is “Good 4 Liv” or will he be the inspo for her next heartbreak hit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
