Olivia Rodrigo reportedly has a new boyfriend… and for some reason, he's been popping up all over the Internet.
No, seriously. He's everywhere.
Zack Bia has been clocked all over social media over the past few months, appearing in photos and the backgrounds of videos with major stars like Justin Bieber, Drake, and The Weeknd. The mystery man is reportedly close friends with Kendall Jenner, has covered a magazine and been the subject of an in-depth profile by a noteworthy publication, and has also been romantically linked to a few Hollywood starlets, such as singer Madison Beer and Netflix actress Madelyn Cline.
But that still doesn't really reveal much. So who exactly is Zack Bia?
Zack is a DJ and social media influencer
Zack Bia, whose full name is Zack Bialobos, is a DJ, social media influencer, former club promoter, and entrepreneur. Zack runs an indie record label called Field Trip Recordings and also co-owns a vodka brand with Kylie Jenner's best friend Stas Karanikolaou.
Forbes has described Zack as a “nightlife fixture," and the USC graduate is apparently known around town for hosting exclusive parties.

Olivia and Zack were first spotted together in February 2022
Olivia Rodrigo and Zack Bia were first seen together back in mid-February, after Zack reportedly invited the “Traitor” singer to a few parties he was DJing at during Super Bowl weekend, a source told E! News.
Since then, the 25-year-old DJ and 19-year-old singer “have been casually hanging out," with Zack attending Olivia's 19th birthday party on February 21 and posing together for an Instagram group pic.
On April 25, Olivia and Zack were seen leaving an Italian restaurant together in New York City. The rumored couple was spotted again on April 26 after a night out with friends, following Olivia's first show at Radio City Music Hall. Olivia is currently performing on her Sour concert tour, and recently finished a two-night run at Radio City.

Zack is what TikTok calls “celebrity-adjacent”
What Zack is most known for is being a famous friend of famous people — and has even been dubbed “celebrity-adjacent” by TikTok user @hannahzookpop.
As noted by TikTok user @lexniko, lots of folks have spotted Zack in the background of many young celebs' social media pics and vids. Zack is close friends with Kendall Jenner, Luka Sabbat, Addison Rae, and in a 2020 profile with GQ, said that he considers Drake a “big brother.”
A quick scroll through Zack's own Instagram is like playing a game of “Name That Celeb." Zack has shots with Jack Harlow, Gunna, Doja Cat, Dominic Fike, Baby Keem, Winnie Harlow, The Weeknd, multiple pics with “big bro” Drake, and even the late Virgil Abloh. Interesting.

Back in December 2021, up until January 2022, Zack was also romantically linked to Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline — though Zack affirms that they were “never officially” dating.
It was in mid-February 2022 — around the same time of the Super Bowl, *eye emojis* — that multiple outlets reported Olivia's split from 24-year-old music video producer Adam Faze. Prior to Adam, Olivia was also rumored to be dating her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett, though neither ever confirmed their relationship.
