Olivia Rodrigo’s dating life has been inextricably linked with her career since the release of her debut album, “Sour,” in 2021.
The Grammy winner, whose song lyrics deal predominantly with relationships and heartbreak, often uses her real-life romances as inspiration for her music.
Read on to discover everything about Rodrigo’s dating history — from her rumored love triangle to her lesser-known flings.
Joshua Bassett
Rodrigo’s first major, public relationship was with her “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” co-star Joshua Bassett.
The former couple, who were love interests in the Disney+ series, allegedly began dating in 2019 or 2020.
Though Rodrigo never confirmed their relationship, it was widely speculated that her breakout single “Drivers License” was about Bassett ending their romance to date fellow Disney star Sabrina Carpenter.
The supposed love triangle quickly blew up, making international headlines and catapulting Rodrigo to pop superstardom.
Bassett broke his silence on the rumors in December 2021, revealing Rodrigo had not “spoken to” him since her debut single dropped that January.
“[Everyone] is asking me about Sabrina and Olivia,” the “Lie Lie Lie” singer, who confirmed he’s part of the LGBTQIA+ community, told GQ at the time.
“Why don’t we focus on these women for who they are? Let’s focus on the art that they’re making and how great they are instead of their relationship to a boy.”
He also described the online bullying he faced over the track, telling the outlet, “I would see TikToks with like 50 million views and 10 million ‘likes’ saying, ‘If I ever see that kid on the street, I’m going to f—king kill him.’ It’s hard to see that and then be living in New York and walking down the street.”
However, it seems the former co-stars are now on good terms, having happily posed together on the red carpet in July 2022.
Adam Faze
Pvnew was the first to report that the “Vampire” singer moved on with Hollywood producer Adam Faze in July 2021.
The pair, who met in May of that year, were spotted together for the first time at the “Space Jam: A New Legacy” premiere party in Los Angeles.
Sources told us the “Brutal” hitmaker, who is six years younger than the Must B Nice production company co-founder, was friends with Faze before things turned romantic.
They were seen packing on the PDA in the middle of a street that November, but sparked split rumors less than two months later when Rodrigo unfollowed Faze on Instagram.
She also hinted at a breakup during an interview with British Vogue, in which she discussed the “best way to get over someone.”
“Besides cutting off all contact, I think it’s important to not only forgive them, but forgive yourself for letting everything happen,” she answered. “That’s what I’ve learned.”
They called it quits for good in February 2022.
Zack Bia
Rodrigo fueled romance rumors with promoter-turned-DJ Zack Bia in early 2022.
The music producer, who had previously dated a slew of high-profile women, put his arm around the former Disney star during their first public outing at Manhattan hot spot Bar Pitti in April.
“They’ve been dating since the Super Bowl,” an insider told People at the time, confirming initial speculation that they were spending time together in February 2022.
“They really like each other,” the source added.
A separate source told E! News that the duo were having “a lot of fun” together.
“Zack [feels] that Olivia is really down to earth and he loves how low-key she is,” the insider explained. “It’s a good balance between them … They hit it off and have been casually hanging out.”
Rodrigo and Bia — who previously dated singer Madison Beer and actress Madelyn Cline — weren’t spotted together for several months after their relationship was /confirm/ied, and the romance reportedly fizzled out by August.
