Olivia Rodrigo has offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, which frequently serves as inspiration for her chart-topping music.

In an interview featured in British Vogue’s April edition, the 23-year-old artist shares her experiences with the celebrity dating app Raya and her memorable first kisses at the renowned Chiltern Firehouse. However, she remains tight-lipped about her rumored breakup with actor Louis Partridge.

Reports emerged in December suggesting that Olivia and the 22-year-old British actor ended their relationship after more than two years together.

Fans are already on the lookout for hints about OR3, her anticipated third album, as Olivia is known for her candid songwriting.

“I live a very private life, sort of… It makes me feel secure enough to express my true self through my music,” she explained.

Olivia and Louis initially sparked media interest as a couple when they were seen in London, his hometown, back in October 2023.

But back in December, the songstress was reportedly spotted in tears at her friend Lily Allen‘s Christmas party at strip club Stringfellows in London over the split. 

Hinting fans will learn more in her album, she seemingly referenced the romance as she said: ‘I’ve found a lot of inspiration from being in London.

‘I’ve spent so much time here over the course of making this album. It has a lot of songs that are London vibes, about experiences that I’ve had here.’

Olivia talked about how she tried dating app Raya before meeting Louis, following the release of her album Sour in 2021. 

However she was only on it for a month after a bad date prompted her to swiftly delete her profile. 

She said: ‘I was like, “Wow, never again. It was just so bad”. 

‘I didn’t even see anyone cool! I thought I would see, like, ooh, some really hot actor guy. I don’t even know any of these people… It’s [always] some weird “creative director”. Like, you just don’t have a job.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Olivia revealed her favourite hotspots in the city, revealing she had ‘some first kisses’ at Chiltern Firehouse.

She said: ‘I really like going to The Fat Badger. It’s so fun ever since Chiltern [Firehouse] burned down. 

‘I’ve had some first kisses at Chiltern, for sure.’

Olivia was referring to the fire which  broke out at the luxury hotel in Marylebone on February 14, 2025, caused by burning wood from a pizza oven. 

While no injuries were reported, the hotel is closed for extensive, long-term repairs expected to take up to three years. 

Olivia added she hoped her new album would ‘show a different side of me’ and hopes to be in London more. 

In the accompanying photoshoot, Olivia wowed as she showed off her toned abs in a hand-embroidered Jacquard jacket an embellished silk habotai bra, and jeans from McQueen.
