Olivia Rodrigo is setting the record straight about months of romance rumors surrounding her love life. Summer outings with Julian Croonenberghs sparked dating speculation, but the singer has now made her relationship status clear. Rodrigo said she is currently single and does not have a boyfriend. She also admitted that constant attention around casual dates has made relationships increasingly difficult to navigate.
Olivia Rodrigo confirms she’s single after being linked to Julian Croonenberghs
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Olivia Rodrigo discussed how quickly an ordinary date can turn into a public relationship narrative.
Rodrigo explained that photographers can capture her on a casual outing with a man, and people often assume she has entered a serious relationship. She described that level of scrutiny as invasive.
Rodrigo then made her current relationship status clear. “I’m single, I don’t have a boyfriend,” she said. She also expressed frustration over strangers using candid photos to judge her personal choices.
Her comments came after months of speculation involving Julian Croonenberghs. Over the summer, Olivia Rodrigo sparked romance rumors with the banker after the pair spent time together in New York. Reports identified Croonenberghs as the mystery man accompanying the singer.
Later, photographers captured Rodrigo and Croonenberghs getting close during another New York outing, fueling further romance rumors. However, neither Rodrigo nor Croonenberghs publicly confirmed a relationship.
Rodrigo’s latest comments put those assumptions into perspective. She explained that appearing in photos with someone does not automatically make that person her boyfriend.
Meanwhile, the Grammy winner admitted that she sometimes wishes she could experience life as a typical 23-year-old. Fame, however, can turn even ordinary dating moments into public conversation.
Rodrigo has dealt with similar attention around her relationships before. Still, her latest comments offered a direct answer about where her personal life stood.
Ultimately, Rodrigo set the record straight. Whatever happened between her and Croonenberghs, she said she is single now.
