Olivia Rodrigo's love life has once again become internet property, and this time, all it took was a shiny ring. The Vampire singer stepped out recently with actor Louis Partridge, and one accessory immediately stole the spotlight. A big, clear gemstone was sitting pretty on her left ring finger, and the photos had fans (and gossip accounts) convinced she might be engaged. But before the 'congratulations' posts could pile up, Olivia's loyal followers stepped in with a reality check.
Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge engagement rumours: The sighting that lit up social media
During a sunny stroll with her boyfriend, Louis Partridge, in Los Angeles on Monday, Olivia kept things casual in a sleeveless green plaid mini dress paired with black flats and her go-to cross-body bag. Louis matched the laid-back vibe in a printed white tee, dark blue shorts, and striped Adidas slides. But it wasn't their outfits that caught the internet's attention; it was Olivia's hand. A closer shot, shared by the Daily Mail, zoomed in on a sizeable ring worn on her left ring finger. Within hours, fan pages and celebrity gossip accounts began speculating about a possible engagement. Photos circulated with captions like 'Louis popped the question?' and 'Olivia's engaged?!' sending timelines into a frenzy.

Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge engaged? Fans shut down the theory
While some were ready to pop champagne in celebration, Olivia's more seasoned followers were quick to step in with receipts. Several pointed out that she's been wearing the same ring for ages, regardless of whether Louis is around. According to her fans, the Livies, the 22-year-old has been wearing this ring since she was a teenager, long before meeting her now boyfriend.
'She wears that ring all the time,' one fan commented on Instagram, while another added, 'This is literally her everyday accessory; nothing new.' On Reddit, one user summed up the situation with a touch of sarcasm: 'If reincarnation is real, I hope I come back as a pop starlet so I can buy a slew of clear gemstone rings and wear a different one each time I go out on a date. Never-ending engagement rumours!'
More about Olivia and Louis' relationship
If anything, Olivia and Louis haven't been hiding much. Since they were first linked in late 2023, they've been spotted together often, from New York PDA to a cosy winter getaway in the Catskills. They even hit the Venice Film Festival hand-in-hand, looking every bit the glamorous couple. And Louis? He's not shy about his admiration. After Olivia's Glastonbury set in July, he posted a sweet Instagram tribute calling her performance 'truly special', to which she replied, 'glastonBERRY ilysm', emojis and all. Earlier this year, he even shared snaps from her Manila concert, subtly letting the world know he's her number one fan.
For those who don't know, Louis is best known for playing Viscount Tewkesbury in Enola Holmes (and its sequel), but his resume also includes Pan, Paddington 2, Medici, Pistol, and Apple TV+'s Disclaimer. Basically, he's holding his own in Hollywood while cheering on one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
So, are Olivia and Louis engaged?
Despite the frenzy, there's no credible confirmation that Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge are engaged. The ring in question is not new — multiple photos from past months show Olivia wearing the same clear gemstone piece at events and casual outings alike. Neither Olivia nor Louis has addressed the speculation, and no reputable outlets have reported an engagement. In this case, the evidence points to a fashion choice, not a proposal.
