It’s Confirmed! Harry Styles Is Dating Taylor Russell
Though English singer and actor Harry Styles has neither confirmed nor denied romantic relations with Canadian actress and model Taylor Russell, the two have been spotted together several times looking extremely cozy. In addition to several witnesses attesting to their involvement, pictures online surfaced showing the two barely able to keep their hands off each other while sharing affectionate glances. A quote from RadarOnline substantiated the rumors with, “He’s been pursuing her very hard and dropped all the other women he was talking to. He’s very smitten.”
In one photo, the pair seemed lost in their own little world. The 28-year-old Bones and All actress was captured placing her hand on Harry’s shoulder while the former One Direction singer clearly only had eyes for her.
After being spotted cozily enjoying their time in London, the buzz about a possible relationship between the two became even louder when Taylor was seen in a Love On Tour concert, Harry’s tour to promote his second and third albums. During the July event, Taylor was photographed wearing a white dress while standing next to a man that many believe to be Harry. She was also seen in a special VIP tent along with some of the crew who were working on the technical aspects of the concert.
Last August 8, Harry attended the press night of Taylor’s new play, The Effect, held at the National Theatre. During the post-show celebrations, the couple looked extremely intimate.
The two stars were also seen with Harry’s close friend, James Corden who was with his wife Julia Carey. The only time that Harry diverted his attention from Taylor was when he introduced his date to the late-night talk show host and his wife. The two couples chatted for a while before Harry—being the gentleman that he is—carried some of his beau’s belongings.
The two were first seen hanging out in June. Despite the absence of definitive news from them and their representatives, these recent encounters show that there is indeed something special going on between them.
Though we can’t confirm how or when the two met and became friends, they most likely first crossed paths in September 2022 during the 79th Venice International Film Festival which they both attended. At the time, Harry was promoting his movie Don’t Worry Darling while Taylor was celebrating the premiere of the horror/romance film Bones and All. Meanwhile, a source close to the couple revealed that they’ve known each other for a few months and met through mutual friends.
Before romancing Taylor, Harry was in a relationship with Olivia Wilde. The two started dating in January 2021 and called it quits in November 2022. Harry was still on tour during the breakup. A source told People that the two remained on friendly terms, “He [Harry] is still touring and is now going abroad. She [Olivia] is focused on her kids and works in LA. It’s a very amicable decision, and they remain close friends.”
After Olivia, Harry was briefly linked to supermodel Emily Ratajkowski in March when several pictures showed them kissing in Tokyo. By April, Emily addressed the controversial images and revealed to The Los Angeles Times that she was not thinking about men.
