Who is Olivia Rodrigo dating? – News Block

Despite all the drama and cryptic messages that unfolded between the “HSMTMS” co-stars in 2021, Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett never confirmed that they were an official couple. Presumably, they met in 2019 on the set of “HSMTMTS,” where they played on-screen love interests. In March 2020, Rodrigo fueled romance rumors when he teased a new song on Instagram: “I wonder what I would say if I knew back then that brown-eyed boy would be my best friend and the one I gave my heart to.”

In August 2020, speculation about the rumored couple died down after a JustJared report released a photo of Basset and singer-actress Sabrina Carpenter enjoying each other’s company in Los Angeles. Fast-forward to January 2021, Rodrigo releases his debut single “Drivers License,” which apparently focused on his alleged relationship with Bassett.

Fans strongly believe that “Driver’s License” is about Rodrigo and Bassett’s rumored relationship. However, both refrained from mentioning each other’s names when asked about the song’s inspiration in interviews.

“The great thing about music is that people will relate it to their own personal experience, and lately, people have been drawing on other people’s experience and assuming things and just making it their own,” Bassett told POPSUGAR in March 2021, before their self-titled debut EP.
