Love is a wonderful thing, especially when you are looking at it from the outside. In this In the column, we’ll examine the celebrity couples who give us hope for our romantic future and try to learn what we can learn from their well-documented relationships.
I’m not a busybody when it comes to the personal lives of celebrities – an occupational hazard, one might say – but I’m anything but. olivia rodrigo’s romantic activities are especially thrilling to me. For one thing, we know they’ll eventually be fodder for another banger album; For another, she leaves lyrical Easter eggs about her subjects (remember that). sabrina carpenter All this?) that I’m a little addicted to trying to understand.
However, Rodrigo’s current rumored relationship is not one she has sung about or even publicly discussed yet; Pop star who splits from ex-actor Lewis Partridge last decemberis recently Linked To private equity partner Julian Kronenberg. Not only were the two spotted in Brooklyn, but they were also seen together at an Icelandic airport. going back to new york. (And if there’s one thing that can truly test and/or confirm new love, it’s travel; what if your speeds going through TSA don’t align? Or, somewhat more romantically, what if they to do?)
Cronenberg certainly isn’t a public figure on Rodrigo’s level, but we do know that he worked at Goldman Sachs and played field hockey at Brown before joining private equity firm HG. men in finance so From around 2024, but honestly, I didn’t expect Rodrigo to fall for anyone, since she’s been linked to mostly musicians and actors in the past. But while it’s nice to be able to connect with your boyfriend on a creative level, I also understand the appeal of a man who just…makes money. When you’re rich and famous like Rodrigo, it’s probably nice to be with someone who will reach out for the occasional check — and without you having to listen to their new demo.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a jaded socialist who wholeheartedly believes that Wall Street should be turned into an organic community garden ASAP (pay attention to this, Mayor Mamdani!), but there’s a sick capitalist part of me that still likes the idea of Rodrigo bypassing the many musical boys who must stand in line for her attention and hooking up with a guy in a suit and salmon shorts. Then again, who knows…maybe the Croonenbergs have an after-hours creative side we don’t even know about yet!
