Olivia Rodrigo wants to “half move” to the UK.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter lives in Los Angeles, but her heart is in Great Britain.
She told British Vogue magazine’s April issue: “I just think British people are just cool – they don’t want to bug you. I love everything English, English culture and English people … I want to half move here one of these days.”
Olivia also revealed that she had “some first kisses” at Chiltern Firehouse, a five-star hotel in Marylebone, London.
Asked her favourite hotspots in the British capital, the Drivers License hitmaker shared: “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.”
The lavish hotel has been shut for long-term repairs after burning wood from a pizza oven caused a fire in February 2025. About 100 people were evacuated, but no injuries were reported.
Olivia spent a lot of time in London when she made her third studio album, OR3.
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.”
The new album sees Olivia “bare my soul in songwriting”, and she hopes it “shows a different side of me”.
The chart-topper added: “Goals…? I want to be in London more.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the star revealed she tried Raya, the celebrity dating app, before she met British actor Louis Partridge, 22, reportedly through mutual pals, in early 2023.
However, Olivia only used it for a month because a bad date made her delete her account.
The Bad Idea Right? singer 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.”
In December 2025, it was reported that Olivia and House of Guinness star Louis had split after two years of dating.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “They made such a lovely couple, so people who know them were shocked when they heard.
“It’s not been the easiest few weeks for them, and they decided it’s better to be apart for now.”
The insider also claimed that Olivia broke down in tears when talking about the reported break-up at 40-year-old singer Lily Allen’s star-studded sexy Santa Christmas party at the iconic Stringfellows strip club, Covent Garden, London, on December 20.
The source continued: “Olivia was at Lily’s party and emotional when she was talking about it. Her friends have rallied around her, but it’s just been pretty rough. It’s really sad right now.”
Neither Olivia nor Louis has confirmed or denied that their relationship is over.
