Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Olivia Rodrigo and Ethan Wacker deleted their Instagram posts of each other in August 2019. A few months later, Rodrigo became involved with Joshua Bassett, so it's safe to assume that she and Wacker ended things quietly without an official fan update.
The two former flames seem to be on good terms though, as Rodrigo posted a congratulatory message to her Instagram stories when Wacker was accepted to Vanderbilt University in May 2020. "Ahhhh I'm so proud! He's the best!" Rodrigo posted shortly after Wacker made the announcement (via J-14).
Wacker had remained mum on the Rodrigo-Bassett-Carpenter love affair until he was asked by a fan on TikTok if the song "drivers license" was written about him. Wacker replied with a simple, "Nope. I treated her well." (per PopBuzz). This further added to the idea that Bassett was indeed the inspiration for the relatable lyrics. At least Rodrigo and Wacker have managed to remain friends!
