During the light-hearted moment she revealed her go-to first date question: “The biggest red flag, okay, this is a very oddly specific question that I ask guys on first dates. I always ask them if they would want to go to space.”
Rodrigo’s reasoning behind this unusual inquiry is rather interesting.
“And if they say yes, I don’t date them,” she explained with a grin. “I just think if you want to go to space, you’re a little too full of yourself.”
This response underscores her preference for down-to-earth individuals rather than those who might have grandiose aspirations. It also indicates her desire for a genuine connection.

In addition to her first date question to spot red flags, Olivia Rodrigo shared some of her personal favorites, including her love for the iconic series 'Sex and the City'.
She expressed a clear preference for Aidan, the character played by John Corbett, over Mr Big, famously portrayed by Chris Noth.
"Mr Big sucks," she declared, reflecting on the relatable struggles of letting go of the wrong partners.
“But we’ve all dated guys like that. You can’t let them go. But yeah, Aidan for the win.”
Currently, Rodrigo is reportedly dating actor Louis Partridge. Their relationship is speculated to have started last year. The couple seemingly confirmed their romance when they were spotted sharing a kiss in New York City in December, per People.
Additionally, Rodrigo showed her support for Partridge at the Venice Film Festival in August, where she accompanied him and shared a loving TikTok post. Partridge further fueled relationship rumors by posting a photo of Rodrigo during a trip to the Philippines, further cementing their connection.
