Olivia Rodrigo Steps Out With Private Equity Professional Julian Croonenberghs

The Sunday, July 26 outing in New York City saw the 23-year-old Grammy winner and the private-equity professional embracing, with photographs showing the couple exchanging hand kisses and close physical contact. While representatives for Rodrigo have remained silent regarding the status of her personal life, the images offer a sharp contrast to the reserved appearances the pair maintained during earlier trips, including a documented journey from Iceland to New York.

Croonenberghs represents a departure from the singer’s usual circle of entertainment-industry peers. A graduate of Brown University with a background in applied mathematics, he currently works with the Mercury team at the investment firm Hg. His resume includes a tenure at Goldman Sachs and a stint as a member of the United States men’s national field hockey team between 2018 and 2020.

This new chapter follows the end of Rodrigo’s high-profile relationship with English actor Louis Partridge, which concluded in December 2025. Following the split, the singer’s latest musical project, released in June 2026, became a focal point for fans analyzing her emotional trajectory. In an April interview with Cosmopolitan, Rodrigo noted that she had adopted a more patient outlook on romance, describing love as a "cherry on top" rather than the primary center of her life. Her current dynamic with Croonenberghs appears to reflect this shift, developing quietly away from the pressures of a formal celebrity debut.
