Olivia Rodrigo and Zack Bia’s relationship was short-lived.

The "Vampire” singer was first linked to the DJ and music executive in early 2022. Sources confirmed their romance to PEOPLE by June of that year.

In August 2022, the pair had reportedly gone their separate ways, and they haven’t been spotted out together since.

This wasn’t the first high-profile romance for Bia, who previously dated singer Madison Beer on and off for a year before splitting in 2019. He was later linked to Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline in December 2021. As for Rodrigo, she dated producer Adam Faze during the summer of 2021. Reports confirmed that the couple were “over” in February 2022 — the same month she was first linked to Bia.

As soon as Rodrigo released the first single off her upcoming album Guts, fans were quick to speculate that the damning lyrics pointed to exes Faze or Bia — but an insider was quick to clear up the rumors.

"The song isn’t about Adam Faze," the insider told PEOPLE. “Vampire” features lyrics that reference an age difference and a months-long relationship, something she shared with both exes, which further fueled the rumor mill.

"How do you lie without flinching? / Oh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, f---ed up little thrill / Can't figure out just how you do it and God knows I never will / Went for me and not her / 'Cause girls your age know better," Rodrigo sings on the track.

“I had such a desire to live and experience things and make mistakes and grow after Sour came out, I kind of felt this pressure to be this girl that I thought everyone expected me to be,” she explained. “And I think because of that pressure, maybe I did things that maybe I shouldn’t have — dated people that I shouldn’t have.”

Though Rodrigo didn't mention Bia by name, she did note that her previous romances heavily inspired the songs and themes on her new record.

While chatting with GQ, Bia addressed the speculation that Rodrigo's heartbreak song "Vampire" was written about him.

"I don't think it's really about me. I think the internet just ran with it," he said. "Look, I’m in the industry, so I know how a song gets made. We hung out. We're both busy, and we ended up not furthering our relationship. There was never any drama, you know?"
