POP princess Olivia Rodrigo shocked tennis fans yesterday when she made a surprise appearance in Wimbledon’s prestigious Royal Box.
But it wasn’t just the presence of the three-time Grammy award winner and her English boyfriend Louis Partridge that raised eyebrows.

The Vampire singer, 22, was spotted rubbing shoulders with none other than ex-England football manager Roy Hodgson.
The Gen Z chart-topper famous for her heartbreak anthems and moody lyrics found herself sat next to the former England manager.
The 77-year-old Hodgson is best known for managing the Three Lions and more recently Crystal Palace.
Hodgson holds the record as the oldest manager in the Premier League when he took charge of the Eagles at 76 years and 187 days old.
He has won league titles in Denmark and Sweden and reached the UEFA Cup final with Fulham and Inter Milan.
Fans on social media were left in stitches at the unlikely pairing of a genuine football icon and a rising star in music.
One X user joked: “I could forgive his stint as Liverpool manager but that’s a step too far.”

Another commented: “Could explain why he looks uncharacteristically chipper.”
Then a third added: “He probably mentioned he managed many football teams in England including the national team and she woulda said Good for you.”
Olivia seemed to be enjoying the action on Centre Court with her actor boyfriend while Roy looked as calm as ever as he took it all in.
The American singer headlined Glastonbury Festival a few days ago and continues to grab the headlines everwhere she goes.
