The pair reportedly dated while shooting the first two seasons of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered on Disney+ in 2019.
Due to the ᴀssumptions made about the song, Joshua became a target online to Rodrigo’s protective fanbase.
Fans also suspected that Carpenter was the ‘other woman’ referenced in the song’s lyrics as Olivia notably sings about ‘that blonde girl’ who ‘made [her] doubt’ the relationship.
She also notes in the lyrics that the unnamed blonde is ‘much older than me.’ Olivia is 22 and Sabrina in 25.
Sabrina, who also got her start on Disney Channel, was reportedly linked to Joshua in mid-2020 but they were broken up by 2021.
Olivia and her ex Joshua have never publicly confirmed or denied anything relating to their alleged romance and breakup.
The Deja Vu singer is now happily dating 21-year-old actor Louis Partridge, while Sabrina was in a high-profile romance with Barry Keoghan throughout 2024.
Despite their previous drama, Olivia and Joshua showed that they had moved forward amicably when they reunited on the High School Musical season three premiere red carpet in 2022.
