Harry Styles And Olivia Dean Are No Longer DatingSaira MacLeoud - Getty Images

From his era as a Swiftie to that game of tonsil tennis in Tokyo with Emily Ratajoswki, Harry Styles’ love life is one that’s hotly dissected, debated and gossiped about.

Since his split from Olivia Wilde in November 2022 — DeuxMoi reported that their relationship began to sour in the aftermath of the now-infamous Don't Worry Darling drama — Styles has been enjoying a slower pace of life away from the limelight (his Love On Tour finished in July 2023).

Since then, he's been sighted with Emily Ratajkowski, Taylor Russell and Olivia Dean, however, he has never commented on the status of his relationship with any of them.

Styles was recently linked to fellow British singer Olivia Dean. Fans of the pair were sent into a spiral when they saw the pair in a Five Guys branch in St. Pauls, London.

The images sparked rumours that the two were dating, however, these were soon dispelled as it is now thought that they're actually just good friends, and are potentially making music together. We couldn't dream of a better musical duo for 2024 and beyond.

According to DeuxMoi, at the start of September Styles and Bones and All star, Taylor Russel, were ‘definitely dating’ but not yet exclusive, although a source did suggest to the gossip that it’s ‘moving in that direction.’ The couple did nothing to dispel the rumours when Styles appeared at the press night of Russell’s new play The Effect at the National Theatre in London.

The pair were spotted the next day strolling along Brewer Street in London, after getting in the same car home the night before from Chiltern Firehouse.

By mid-October 2023, things had solidified between the pair. A source revealed to US Weekly that Styles 'sees a future' with Russell. 'Harry is head over heels for Taylor,' the source said. 'He loves spending as much time with her as he can.'

In February 2024, after attending the BAFTAs alone, the rumour mill went into overdrive that the pair were engaged after Russell was spotted wearing a Tiffany & Co. engagement ring - albeit on the wrong hand, but in May 2024, it was suggested that the pair had called it quits.

After a make-or-break trip to Tokyo in April, the pair decided to end their relationship. 'They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart,' a source told The Sun. 'He’s been in America and she’s been in London. They made a lovely couple and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy. Things have become strained recently though and they’ve taken some time out.'

2023, Emily Ratajoswki

Four months after splitting from Wilde, Styles was seen passionately kissing model Emily Ratajkowski on the streets of Tokyo, which reportedly caused Wilde to cut off all contact with both her former flame and Ratajkowski, who was once a close friend of the actors'.

2021-2022, Olivia Wilde

The relationship that appeared to have the entertainment realm in a chokehold began in January 2021, when Styles and Wilde were first pictured together while attending his manager Jeffrey Azoff’s wedding. Their partnership is believed to have started when they worked on Don’t Worry Darling together. Fast forward a couple of months and the pair were photographed on a boat off the coast of Italy before Wilde began attending Styles’ concerts.

Despite the couple being, according to sources, ‘more serious than ever', during the summer of 2022, after the chaotic and gossip-fueled press tour for Don’t Worry Darling, things are believed to have become more strained between the pair. Then, in November 2022, a source confirmed to People that the pair were ‘taking a break’ from their relationship.

‘He's still touring and is now going abroad. She is focusing on her kids and her work in L.A.,’ a source said. ‘It's a very amicable decision.’

2017-2018, Camille Row

Styles is believed to have started dating French model Camille Row in 2017 before ending their relationship a year later, but not before using her as the inspiration behind his hit album Fine Line.

The One Direction alum confirmed to Zane Lowe that his single Cherry was not only about one of his ex-girlfriends, but also featured her voice at the end of it.

‘When we listened back to the album, I asked her to add it in,” he said. ‘I think she liked it.’

The song concludes with a voicemail in French from Rowe, which translates to: 'Hello! Are you asleep? Oh, I’m sorry…Well, no… No, it’s not important. Well… We went to the beach and now we… Perfect! Harry.'

Tess Ward (2017)

Following Styles' second split from Jenner, he was associated with with British blogger and chef Tess Ward, whom he apparently met through his stylist, Lou Teasdale.

The pair were first sighted together in May 2017 in London, and just later that month, they were seen wearing the same shirts at an event, as reported by The Daily Mail.

However, by June 2017, it was reported that Ward was back with her ex-boyfriend.

Styles and Kendall Jenner first sparked relationship rumours in 2013 following a date night at Los Angeles restaurant, Craigs. The pair shortly rang in the new year together with friends on the slopes of Mammoth, California, before spending time in the Caribbean that summer with both of their mums.

In January 2016, Jenner's elder sister Khloé Kardashian seemingly confirmed that the two were an item in some way. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said: ‘They were hanging out together. Do I think they're dating? Yes. I don't know if they're, like, boyfriend-girlfriend,’ Kardashian added. ‘Nowadays, I don't know, people are weird with stuff. So I don't know their 'title’ is, but I mean, they were in St. Barts together hanging out, so to me that's dating. I would call that dating.’

Jenner and Styles are believed to have gone their separate ways in early 2016 before reuniting for a short time later that year, with the Manchester native attending the supermodel's 21st birthday party in November 2016.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Styles confirmed that his ex Jenner was a direct source of inspiration for his May 2017 debut studio album. 'She's a huge part of the album,' he said, adding, 'Sometimes you want to tip the hat, and sometimes you just want to give them the whole cap … and hope they know it's just for them.'

2012-2013, Taylor Swift

The relationship that was quite possibly both of their fans’ favourites was the month-long fling between Taylor Swift and Styles, which started in December 2012 when the pair were spotted walking around Central Park together. Despite the couple breaking up after a holiday in the Caribbean in early 2013, fans are still quick to attribute the stars’ lyrics to each of their former flames. Most Swifties believe that the pop singer’s song Style is about Styles, nodding to the lyrics: I got that red lip classic thing that you like…You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt.’

Emily Atack (2012)

While Styles was still in One Direction, it was alleged that he had a brief on and off fling with Inbetweeners actor Emily Atack. During this time, neither Styles or Atack confirmed or denied their status of their relationship, however, years later she stated, 'We had a short-lived thing that was just a bit of fun. Then we went off in our opposite directions. Harry and I had a laugh. It was brief, but fun, and then we moved on,' as per Metro.

Caroline Flack (2011-2012)

In 2011, Styles briefly began dating TV presenter Caroline Flack when he was 17 and she was 31. Their relationship had garnered a lot of media attention given the controversial age difference. They met while Flack was hosting The Xtra Factor, where One Direction had rose to fame.

Their relationship had only lasted a couple of months, and came to a quick end due to the intense media scrutiny that they were both under.

Felicity Skinner (2009)

Before Styles became famous, he had a girlfriend called Felicity Skinner. The pair met through mutual friends and dated when they were teenagers.

During an interivew with Mirror, she stated, 'He was a really good boyfriend, very romantic and, yes, shy. He was good looking and obviously I found him very attractive.We were together for just under a year. Now we don't even talk any more.'

'He was a really good boyfriend, very romantic and, yes, shy. He was good looking and obviously I found him very attractive. We were together for just under a year … We just clicked straight away and got on really well. He has a really cute smile. We started seeing each other when we were both about 15. He was really sweet. It was puppy love and we were definitely each other's first loves.'
