Olivia Rodrigo is taking her new romance public, almost seven months after she reportedly broke up with ex-boyfriend, actor Louis Partridge. On July 26, the “Drivers License” singer packed on the PDA with Julian Croonenberghs during a flirty picnic date in a Brooklyn park amid dating rumors.

A month after the June 12 release of her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love, Rodrigo looked anything but heartbroken as she soaked up the sunshine with the private equity associate. They enjoyed a very public—and loved-up— outing at a park after The Daily Mail first reported that they’re an item.
Per photos shared by The Daily Mail, “The Cure” singer was all smiles as she walked next to her rumored boyfriend down a sidewalk and towards a park. Rodrigo looked laidback for the outing with her long dark hair pulled back into a low ponytail and topped with a blue baseball cap. She finished off her low-key Sunday look with a black scoop-neck cropped tank top and a pair of high-waisted daisy dukes, which she accessorized with black sunglasses and black flip-flops.

The pair cuddled once in the park, with Rodrigo sitting in Croonenberghs’ lap and leaning her head against his chest. At one point, she kissed the former U.S. men’s national field hockey player’s hand as he extended it towards her. Croonenberghs wore a brown-and-white striped T-shirt, olive green cargo pants, white tennis shoes, and a navy blue denim baseball cap over his dark hair.

Rodrigo and the Brown University graduate first sparked romance rumors in June when they were spotted together at a wine bar and then again together on the street. They’ve also seemingly taken their budding relationship overseas, as they were spotted by fans leaving the Iceland airport to go to New York City.
The “Vampire” singer has stayed mum on her budding romance with Croonenberghs. However, Rodrigo—who was previously linked to Joshua Bassett and Zack Bia as well as Partridge—hinted at what she’s learned from her latest romantic chapter in an April interview with Cosmopolitan. “Things happen the way that they’re supposed to happen,” Rodrigo said, adding, “It’s not supposed to be white-knuckle.”
