Olivia Rodrigo made a splashing debut in the world of music with the grand success of her debut album Sour last year. The laurels for the actor-singer continued this year too as she bagged multiple Grammy Awards a few weeks ago.

Amid the professional success, it seems there are some positive developments on the personal front also. The artist seemed to have found someone special, and reports are doing the rounds on her alleged relationship.

Olivia raised eyebrows by stepping out with DJ Zack Bia recently. The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star had a smile on her face, while the latter had his arms around her, in the pictures that have emerged in media reports.
