She added that the pop superstar ‘seemed to be having a really good time’ and was entranced by her pal Charli D’Amelio.

Prior to news of her relationship with Faze, Olivia was rumored to have dated her Disney Channel costar Joshua Bassett, though neither has ever confirmed the relationship.
Fans have picked apart the lyrics on her album Sour, and particularly its lead single Drivers License, to suggest that they refer to a love triangle among her, Bassett and singer Sabrina Carpenter.
But the actress and songwriter shared to People earlier in June that she has been writing breakup songs since ‘before I ever held a boy’s hand.’
‘I’m just constantly learning and growing at such a rapid rate,’ she continued. ‘I’m writing songs and I’m really happy. I’m a lot happier than I was when I wrote that record, which is great.’
