Olivia Rodrigo and Julian Croonenberghs were seen on a PDA-filled date in Brooklyn, New York, with Rodrigo tying her hair back for the outing. The pair’s walk, park stop, and repeated affectionate gestures pushed their rumored relationship into public view after earlier low-key dates.
Brooklyn sidewalk to park grass
Rodrigo and Croonenberghs walked side-by-side on a sidewalk before entering a park in Brooklyn and settling on a patch of grass. She lounged in his arms, he wrapped his arms around her as she leaned against his chest, and she kissed his hand before he returned the gesture. For a couple that had stayed mostly low-key, the setting and the level of contact leave little room for ambiguity.
Olivia Rodrigo on her phone
Rodrigo also showed Croonenberghs something on her phone while they spent time together. He nuzzled his face into hers as she smiled, then she threw her head back to laugh while he kept his arms around her. Those small movements matter more than a posed photo; they show the outing playing out in public rather than behind closed doors.
New York dates and Iceland
The Brooklyn sighting follows earlier dating rumors that started earlier this month after a series of low-key dates in New York and a trip to Iceland. That timeline suggests the relationship moved from private outings to a more visible public appearance, even though neither has said anything directly in the material at hand. For readers tracking whether the pair are a couple or just spending time together, the answer on the page is simple: they are being seen as one, and Brooklyn made that harder to ignore.
Have Olivia Rodrigo and Julian Croonenberghs publicly said it themselves? That is the one open point left, and the Brooklyn date only raises the pressure on that answer.
