News : Olivia Rodrigo makes new romance public

Olivia Rodrigo appears to have confirmed speculation that she is dating private equity associate Julian Croonenberghs.

One week after the Expectations singer fuelled relationship rumours through several quiet appearances, she was seen enjoying an affectionate outing at a park in Brooklyn.

Rodrigo and Croonenberghs walked through the area while holding hands before relaxing on the grass beneath the trees. The singer sat between his legs as he held her close, while the pair were also photographed kissing each other’s hands.

Neither Rodrigo nor Croonenberghs has publicly commented on the apparent relationship. However, they have been seen together on multiple occasions during the past month, including dates around New York City and a sighting at an airport in Iceland.

Croonenberghs largely stays away from public attention and is employed as a private equity associate. He also played for the United States men’s national field hockey team from 2018 until 2020.

Interest in Rodrigo’s love life has grown since the arrival of her newest album, You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love. The record is believed to reference her former boyfriend, Enola Holmes actor Louis Partridge, whom she dated between 2023 and 2025.

The Grammy winner has also previously been romantically connected to High School Musical actor Joshua Bassett and music producer Zack Bia.
