Sydney Chandler And Louis Partridge Have Been Chastised For Their Age Difference

Sydney Chandler and her partner, Louis Partridge, started their relationship earlier this year. They initially crossed paths on the set of the miniseries Sex Pistols when Chandler was 25 and Partridge was just 17 years old.

Fans criticize the age disparity between Sydney Chandler and Louis Partridge.

A video capturing Chandler kissing her partner at the premiere of Sex Pistols in London in May 2022 went viral, sparking controversy over their age gap. The video, shared by a TikTok user, drew criticism towards the couple’s seven-year age difference.

The TikTok user expressed their disapproval, stating, “I’m going to die on this hill. 18-26? Nope. Louis will be 19 in a few days? 19-26 are yet out. She met and knew him when he was still a child, and a connection between an adult and a teen is never natural!”

Public scrutiny over their age gap has been consistent, with a Reddit debate in May 2022 highlighting allegations that Chandler waited for Partridge to turn 18 before initiating their relationship, purportedly convincing him to end his previous romance.

Reports suggest that Chandler took Partridge on vacations to secluded locations and displayed hostility towards his social media followers. Criticism mounted, with some remarking, “Nearing 30 had never seemed so dreadful.

It’s a pity the breakthrough star’s friends and family aren’t interested in shutting it down. The age of consent does not make it acceptable.”

Chandler, known for her role in Enola Holmes, has faced additional scrutiny due to her lineage as the daughter of Hollywood actors Kyle Chandler and Kathryn Chandler, leading to some labeling her as a “nepo child.”

The relationship between Sydney Chandler and her boyfriend has sparked controversy.

Fans quickly chimed in with their opinions in the comments section of the post. According to one commenter, Chandler allegedly referred to her partner as “baby boy” and “kiddo” while he was still 17 years old.

The commenter also claimed that the actress responded to concerned fans by antagonizing and blocking them, along with posting cryptic messages.

“Then, all of a sudden, he’s 18 and they’re dating. She’s a creepy person, and I hope this is the beginning of her finally being exposed in public, rather than just on fan sites. If this grooming does not stop, it will be a repeat of the Aaron Taylor Johnson problem!!!” an anonymous user commented.

“That’s extremely unsettling, dunno how individuals in their mid to late twenties feel so comfortable dating actual teenagers,” remarked another.

A different individual labeled Chandler’s behavior as “100% disgusting” in regards to grooming. They suggested it seemed like fan fiction created by jealous fans who disregard predatory behavior and would criticize anyone he was with. The user also dismissed the notion that Chandler pressured her boyfriend into ending his previous relationship as ridiculous.

“I’ve noticed that many women are doing this nowadays, pursuing considerably younger guys who are NOT in their age range. It’s standard grooming. But, why does this blind seem to have been sent in by an envious fan or something?” another person questioned.

Several fans agreed that if the genders were reversed and the man was older, the age difference wouldn’t be as big of an issue. “It’s not ideal that barely legal children are dating someone in their mid-20s, but I find it difficult to express indignation when I seldom see the matching fury in the other direction. Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish are they in comparable relationships?” remarked a fan.
