Hilary Duff can't picture Lizzie at 40 — but she did share the age that might finally bring her back.
The Chicago-based producer and drummer seen with Olivia Dean at Wimbledon in July 2025 has a collaborative résumé that stretches across some of the biggest names in modern indie and pop music.
Eddie Burns and Dean were spotted arriving together at The Championships, Wimbledon holding hands, sparking speculation about a romantic relationship. Then, they were spotted holding hands in March 2026 as they stepped out during Fashion Week in Paris, France.
Neither person has confirmed anything.
Dean, when asked in an October 2025 interview with Glamour whether she was seeing anyone, replied, “I’d rather not comment.” She added that while she’s always drawing from her own life in her music, “I really want people to think about themselves when they’re listening to [my music too].”

Burns’ Path From Age 6 to the United Center
Burns started playing drums at age 6. According to an interview with The Daily Northwestern published in March 2025, his father is a classical trumpet player who influenced his early interest in music.
His connection to Chicago’s creative ecosystem runs deep. In that same interview, Burns described how the city shaped him: “In Chicago, we do it because we love it, and it’s a place that is an agent for creativity.”
His collaboration with Clairo dates back to 2018. Burns produced her song 4EVER and performed with her when she opened for Khalid at the United Center — Chicago’s massive arena, home to the Bulls and Blackhawks.
That venue held particular personal weight. “I accepted, in that moment, I would never make it to the league,” Burns told The Daily Northwestern, referencing his decision to pursue music over basketball. “But then we played (at) the United Center and I was like, ‘Maybe, in a way, I did make it to the league.’”

Burns later served as a drummer during Clairo’s Charm Tour. Beyond Clairo, his credits include work with Frank Ocean, Dominic Fike and Omar Apollo — placing him at the intersection of indie, pop, and R&B.
Before the Burns sighting, Dean had been linked to Harry Styles after the two were seen spending time together multiple times in fall 2024. Neither Dean nor Styles confirmed a relationship. Styles is now believed to be dating actress Zoë Kravitz.
In a Nylon interview, Dean also discussed her approach to dating more broadly, saying she no longer uses dating apps. “I don’t love that it’s like, ‘You could have whoever you want.’ Just swipe, swipe, swipe. It all feels a bit too disposable,” she said.
Her professional momentum, meanwhile, has been significant. Dean performed on Saturday Night Live in November 2025 and winning Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
