Louis Partridge is learning to tune out the noise. The 23-year-old "Enola Holmes" actor recently opened up about how he handles intense public interest in his personal life following his split from Grammy-winning singer Olivia Rodrigo.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the world premiere of "Enola Holmes 3" on Friday, July 26, Partridge addressed the relentless speculation surrounding his romantic history. The actor admitted he has adopted a new perspective that prioritizes his own peace over outside opinions.

"I'm caring less and less, which is a wonderful thing," Partridge shared. He acknowledged that as a younger actor, he used to care deeply about public perception. However, he now says he is growing toward understanding what truly matters in his life and what brings him happiness.

Partridge's comments arrive several months after reports surfaced that he and Rodrigo had parted ways. According to The Sun, the couple's nearly three-year relationship had faced a challenging period prior to the split. Neither party publicly confirmed the breakup, but Rodrigo fueled speculation through her latest album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love".

The singer described the album as a "time capsule" documenting all stages of a relationship. The record, which is her third studio release, was reportedly inspired by her first "big girl" romance. Some fans noticed that Partridge's phrase "less and less" appears to reference a track on the album titled "Less," sparking further fan frenzy.

Rather than engaging with the rumors, Partridge has chosen to ignore the speculation. He credits his "Enola Holmes" co-star Millie Bobby Brown with teaching him a valuable lesson about navigating fame.

"She's navigated it really, really tremendously well," Partridge said of the 22-year-old "Stranger Things" star. "She's had it far worse than me. She's had so many eyes on her from a younger age even".

Partridge expressed deep respect for Brown's approach to handling public scrutiny. "I have a lot of respect for the way she carries herself," he stated. "She knows what's important to her and she knows what isn't. And she will be vocal about that. I think she is a bit of a legend in that respect".

The actor continues to focus on his career and personal growth as he moves forward.
