Who is Adam Faze and how did he meet Olivia Rodrigo?

At this time, very little is known about Faze’s career. However, the young entrepreneur did previously contribute writing to Forbes with a focus on Hollywood and the film industry. According to his author page, Faze considered himself a “creative entrepreneur” with great interest in “the future of entertainment.”

In addition to writing, Faze has also worked as a producer in music, film, and television. He previously produced a music video for Goody Grace and co-founded a production company called Must B Nice with film director Jamie Dolan.

Conflicting reports have circulated regarding how Faze and Rodrigo met before their relationship began. One source allegedly told Page Six that the two have known each other for “years.” However, another source told reportedly told E! that Faze met the “Driver’s License” singer only a few months ago via “industry friends.”

What is the age gap between Rodrigo and Faze?

Rodrigo’s parents welcomed the young star into the world on Feb. 20, 2003. She began acting and singing at 6 years old and landed her first big role in Disney’s series Bizaardvark in 2016. Later, the star gained more recognition for her role as Nini Salazar-Roberts in the Disney+ series HSMTMTS. Rodrigo released her debut single, “Driver’s License,” in January 2021, which quickly brought her music career into the spotlight.

Faze’s Forbes page listed him as 20 years old in 2017, which would make him 24 in 2021. Some of Rodrigo’s fans have expressed concern on social media regarding the six-year age gap between her and Faze.

“Adam Faze started dating Olivia ‘a few months before’ getting serious this month… Olivia literally graduated from high school a week ago,” one fan wrote on Twitter, pointing out that Faze began dating a high school student.

“ADAM FAZE IS 24/25… OLIVIA SWEETIE RUNNNN,” another user added.
