Yes, Harry Styles Is Taken and It’s Time We Talk About It

No one likes to hear that Harry Styles is in a relationship. I mean, since the 27-year-old star transcended his One Direction boy-band era, he has solidified his role as the internet’s forever man-crush — thanks to his famously gender-blurring style and award-winning music. So when the news broke earlier this year that he and filmmaker Olivia Wilde were together, the reaction from fans to a Harry Styles Olivia Wilde romance was not exactly filled with excitement.

But now that he and Wilde, 37, have been together for months, they have become one of the internet’s favourite celeb couples, known for their mutually supportive dynamic and stylish outings. It’s time we talk about the couple’s most memorable moments together, so read on for a Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde relationship timeline.

September 2020: A Harry Styles Olivia Wilde meet-cute on set

The duo get to know each other on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, a psychological thriller directed by Wilde herself. Styles was cast to play Jack, the husband of Florence Pugh’s Alice, replacing Shia Lebeouf who was reportedly fired from the role by Wilde after clashing with the cast and crew. Wilde later gushes about her excitement of having Styles in the film. She praises the British singer for his experimental style, telling People that his brand of confidence is “truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity.”

January 2021: Wilde is Styles’s plus-one at a wedding

Countless hearts are broken when photos published by Page Six of the duo at Styles’s manager’s wedding hit social media.

February 15, 2021: Wilde reaffirms her affection for Styles on Instagram

After wrapping Don’t Worry Darling, Wilde shares a heartwarming statement about Styles on her IG, under a black and white photo of him sitting on a convertible, looking fly as ever. “Little known fact: most male actors don’t want to play supporting roles in female-led films. The industry has raised them to believe it lessens their power (i.e financial value) to accept these roles, which is one of the reasons it’s so hard to get financing for movies focusing on female stories,” she writes. “Enter: @harrystyles, our “Jack”. Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold center stage as our ‘Alice’, but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity.” Um, adorable!

We love a hidden message!
