Olivia Rodrigo has reportedly found a new romantic interest in Julian Croonenberghs, a Brown University graduate who works in private equity. The news follows sightings of the pair together, including a viral video from a New York sidewalk and a reported low-key date at a Brooklyn wine bar.
Internet sleuths identified Croonenberghs, who is described as coming from a well-connected banking family and having an athletic past, including playing field hockey for the U.S. men's national team from 2018 to 2020. This pairing appears to signal a shift for Rodrigo, who recently ended her relationship with actor Louis Partridge.
Insiders suggest Rodrigo intentionally keeps her love life private, with a source telling the Daily Mail that she has been "pretty reserved and coy" and "definitely seems like she’s found someone new." The pop star herself has commented on a preference for partners outside the intense spotlight, remarking in a past interview that there's "something nice about a normal boy" and that she sometimes enjoys when people "don’t know a ton" about her companion's career.
Rodrigo's past relationships have included producer Adam Faze in 2021 and DJ Zack Bia in 2022. Her high-profile romance with actor Louis Partridge, which began in October 2023, was more publicly visible, with appearances at concerts, red carpets, and Wimbledon. However, rumors of their split began circulating by December 2025. Partridge had previously spoken about the pressures of dating under public scrutiny.
While Croonenberghs may not share Rodrigo's level of fame, his background reportedly includes a significant financial sector role and a residence in a New York City apartment valued at $3.7 million. A source indicated that Rodrigo will likely make the relationship public on her own terms when she feels ready.
