Los Angeles, June 5 : Singer-actress Olivia Rodrigo, who dated Louis Partridge from 2023 until the end of 2025, has now shared some tips on how to get over a painful break-up.

Asked to share some break-up advice, Rodrigo told Dazed: "Gosh, itâ??s like the blind leading the blind! Iâ??m not, like, Mrs Relationship. Iâ??m not super sage and wise. But I do think that being with your friends is best. I donâ??t know what I would have done when going through hard times if I didnâ??t have great friends."

The singer, who is reluctant to specifically discuss her relationships publicly, believes a break-up can be a great learning opportunity.

She said: "I also think going through a breakup can be a really awesome opportunity to redirect your life in a (way) that feels more aligned with who you are. Thatâ??s such a beautiful part of being in a relationship.

"Even if it doesnâ??t last forever and you donâ??t get married, itâ??s so worthwhile. You never learn more about yourself through any other experience. Itâ??s a very raw thing."

She feels break-ups get easier to deal with the older you get, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The Vampire hitmaker has learned she takes things less personally over time.

Rodrigo said: "I think it gets easier ... I donâ??t know, talk to me in two years and maybe Iâ??ll have gone through the worst heartbreak ever. But I just feel like heartbreak will never be as bad as it was when you were 17 years old.

"That breakup that I went through when I was 17 ... oh my God, nothing will ever be that tough ever again. Hopefully! Maybe Iâ??m speaking very naively. But I do feel that with every kind of rejection â?? whether in love or a work thing, a friend thing or whatever â?? Iâ??m taking stuff less personally as I get older.

"As you grow and have more experiences, it starts to feel OK."

Meanwhile, the singer-actress also shared what a "dream first date" would look like for her.

The pop star said: "I would love to go to dinner and then to a comedy show. I love watching improv and stand-up; Iâ??m always really impressed by people who are able to do that because itâ??s just so out of my wheelhouse. So dinner, a comedy show, and then maybe ice cream after."
