Who is Harry Styles dating? A look at the singer’s love life
Harry Styles is one of the most popular and talented singers in the world. He rose to fame as a member of One Direction and has since embarked on a successful solo career. He is also known for his fashion sense, his acting skills, and his charming personality.
But what about his love life? Whom has he dated in the past, and whom is he dating now? Here is a brief overview of Harry Styles’ dating history.
Olivia Wilde
The most recent and surprising relationship that Harry Styles had was with Hollywood actress Olivia Wilde. The two met on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, a psychological thriller that Wilde directed and starred in alongside Styles.
They were first spotted holding hands at a friend’s wedding in January 2021, and soon became one of the hottest couples in showbiz. They were seen spending time together in Los Angeles, London, and Italy, and reportedly moved in together at some point.
However, their romance seemed to fizzle out by November 2022, when People reported that they were “taking a break” due to their busy schedules. A source told the magazine: “He’s still touring and is now going abroad. She’s working hard on her next project.”
Camille Rowe
Before Olivia Wilde, Harry Styles dated French-American model Camille Rowe for about a year. They were first linked in July 2017, after they were introduced by mutual friend Alexa Chung.
They kept their relationship low-key, but were occasionally spotted together in public. They also attended each other’s events, such as Rowe’s birthday party and Styles’ final tour show.
They broke up in July 2018, shortly after Styles completed his world tour. He later opened up about their split in his album Fine Line, which featured a voicemail from Rowe at the end of the song Cherry.
Tess Ward
Another brief fling that Harry Styles had was with chef and food blogger Tess Ward. They reportedly started dating in May 2017, after being introduced by mutual friends.
They bonded over their love of food and travel, and went on a few dates together. However, their relationship didn’t last long, as Ward reconciled with her ex-boyfriend soon after.
Nadine Leopold
Harry Styles also dated Austrian model Nadine Leopold for a few months in 2014-2015. They met through mutual friends and hit it off right away.
They celebrated Styles’ 21st birthday together in Los Angeles, and Leopold was seen wearing his shirt on several occasions. However, they parted ways by March 2015 due to their conflicting schedules.
Kendall Jenner
One of the most famous exes of Harry Styles is Kendall Jenner, the reality star and model. They were first linked in November 2013, when they were seen having dinner together in West Hollywood. They continued to hang out sporadically over the next few years, sometimes with other friends or family members. They also went on vacations together to places like St Barts and Anguilla.
They never confirmed their relationship status publicly, but they seemed to have an on-and-off romance until 2016. They rekindled their friendship in 2019, when they appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden and played a game of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts. They have remained friendly ever since.
Paige Reifler
Another model that Harry Styles dated was Paige Reifler. They met at a party in London in June 2013, and had an instant connection. They dated for a few months, but broke up by October 2013 due to distance issues. Reifler later confirmed their relationship in an interview with The Mirror, saying: “Yes I am seeing him.”
Taylor Swift
Perhaps the most famous ex-girlfriend of Harry Styles is Taylor Swift, the pop superstar. They met at an awards showin November 2012, and started dating soon after. They made headlines for their whirlwind romance, which included trips to New York City, London, and Utah. They also shared some sweet moments together, such as wearing matching necklaces and holding hands at Central Park Zoo.
However, their relationship ended abruptly in January 2013, after they had a heated argument while vacationing in the British Virgin Islands.
Their breakup inspired some songs from both artists, such as Style and Out of the Woods from Swift’s album 1989, and Two Ghost and Ever Since New York from Styles’ album Harry Styles.
Caroline Flack
The first high-profile relationship that Harry Styles had was with Caroline Flack, the late TV presenter. They met in 2011, when Styles was 17 and Flack was 31. They faced a lot of criticism for their age gap, but they didn’t let that stop them from dating.
They kept their relationship private, but they were occasionally seen together at events or parties. They broke up in early 2012, after a few months of dating. They remained on good terms until Flack’s tragic death in February 2020. Styles paid tribute to her by wearing a black ribbon on his lapel at the BRIT Awards.
Other rumored romances
Besides these confirmed relationships, Harry Styles has also been rumored to date other celebrities over the years. Some of them include Emily Atack, Nicole Scherzinger, Erin Foster, Georgia Fowler, Kiko Mizuhara and Emma Corrin. However, none of these rumors were ever substantiated or acknowledged by either party.
Current status
As of now, Harry Styles seems to be single and focusing on his career. He is currently touring the world with his Love On Tour concert series. He is also set to star in two upcoming movies: My Policeman and The Little Mermaid. He has not commented on his love life publicly, but he has expressed his views on love and relationships in some interviews.
He told Rolling Stone in 2017:
“I think it’s hard for anyone, but I think especially in this job, you have to be quite guarded because people want to know everything about you. And I think it’s important to keep some things for yourself.”
He also told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2019:
“I think part of being good at being in a relationship, or being a good friend, or being good with your family, is being really honest with yourself about what you need.”
So, who knows? Maybe one day we will see Harry Styles with someone who makes him happy and meets his needs. Until then, we can only admire him from afar and enjoy his music and movies.
