Grammy winning singer-songwriter Harry Styles is enjoying a much needed break from touring in his native U.K. Towards the end of the tour, rumors began circulating that the singer might be in a relationship with Canadian actress Taylor Russell. Now, following Russell’s stage debut at the National Theatre in “The Effect”, the pair were spotted on an alleged double date with comedian James Corden and his wife Julia Carey.

Fans of the singer were happy to see Styles take more time for his personal life. Russell garnered critical acclaim for several of her roles including in “Words On The Bathroom Wall” and “Escape Room.” The actress reached a wider audience when she notably appeared in Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones And All” alongside Timotheé Chalamet. Russell portrayed a teenaged cannibal running across the country in the 1980s.
Styles was first spotted in the theater’s audience applauding his rumored girlfriend’s performance.

Russell’s performance in “Bones and All” gained the actress a myriad of new fans. Fans of Styles appear to have largely positive commentary on the alleged relationship, in part due to the chaos that ensued with Styles’ last relationship.

The singer previously dated actress-director Olivia Wilde. Wilde allegedly left her longtime fianceé Jason Sudeikis to pursue a relationship with the singer on the set of her film “Don’t Worry Darling.” Sudeikis and Wilde share two children together.
The alleged relationship appeared to cause tensions throughout the press tour leading up to the film’s release in late 2022. Voicemails leaked of Wilde discussing actress Florence Pugh in a negative light after Pugh expressed concern over working with actor Shia LaBeouf amid several domestic violence allegations that came out against him. Wilde referring to Pugh as “Miss Flo” rapidly gained viral attention.
