Olivia Rodrigo Is Doing Something With Her New Boyfriend Julian Croonenberghs That She Didn’t Do With Her Exes
Olivia Rodrigo hasn’t confirmed anything about her dating life since splitting from English actor Louis Partridge in 2025. But she has been spotted with a new man on a few occasions.
Leave it to internet detectives to find out that the mystery man is Julian Croonenberghs. He’s a private equity associate for a firm in New York City. Croonenberghs was seen not only out and about around the Big Apple with the “Driver’s License” singer, but also in an airport after a trip to Iceland together. Now an expert is analyzing that photo and noticed what Rodrigo was doing that she didn’t with her former partners.
Inbaal Honigman is a celebrity astrologer and body language expert. She has appeared in the media for more than two decades, offering her expertise and perspectives on current events and pop culture figures for several outlets, including Big Brother’s Little Brother, Elle Magazine, and talkSPORT radio, to name a few.
Speaking on behalf of Casino.org Canada, Honigman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “Olivia is seen glancing up at Julian. Her mouth is dropped open as if in awe of him. The singing star’s smile is mixed with a rounded mouth shape, signifying a sense of wonder. She is clearly smitten. Her cheeks are rounded and raised, which suggests happiness. While Julian himself is seen glancing away from Olivia momentarily, as if her direct eye contact is too intense for him.”
Honigman added, “[Croonenberghs] might be overwhelmed by the sheer emotion directed at him. The pair use some protective body language moves — Olivia’s pointer and middle fingers are on her chin, covering part of her face, which is a protective gesture, while Julian’s hands are in front of him, protecting his body. This abundance of protective moves could say that they’re still getting used to each other’s company.
“This relationship is early days as they do not appear to be entirely at ease yet when they stand side by side. Their torsos are facing the same way forwards, slightly angled towards one another, indicating that they’re giving each other attention, but not all the attention.”
The expert shared that they seem compatible as they are on the “same life path,” noting, “That their bodies face the same way is a sign that their goals are aligned and they’re on the same life path as each other. Both Olivia and Julian are standing confidently, their feet firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart. This strong ‘hero’ stance shows comfort and confidence, meaning that they are developing feelings of trust in each other, and that they know they’ve got each other’s backs.”
Honigman also pointed out that there is a difference in the star’s appearance with new rumored love interest compared to Rodrigo’s past flames, saying, “Old photos of Olivia with former flames feature her head lowered, her shoulders rolled inwards, and overall much more timid body language than what we see here with Julian. She used to be more submissive in love, but has grown into becoming a more assertive girlfriend. Her romantic growth is expressed in Olivia’s increased confidence of strong, angled poses and fearless adoration of her new beau as she gazes up and straight into his face.”
Showbiz Cheat Sheet acknowledges that conditions and cultures can impact body language and is sensitive to all backgrounds.
