Summary:

  • Singer Louis Tomlinson addresses “Larry” conspiracy theory; calls rumors “childish.” Fans support his response.

  • Tomlinson’s strong reaction to conspiracy theory came from a question about chicken parmesan. Some fans still speculate.

  • Harry Styles is in a relationship, Louis Tomlinson reportedly single. Fans remind to respect privacy amidst conspiracy theories.

Singer-songwriter Louis Tomlinson has finally addressed the long standing “Larry” conspiracy theory. Some fans of his former boy band One Direction have long theorized that Tomlinson was in a secret romantic relationship with his bandmate Harry Styles. Today, Tomlinson called these past rumors “childish.”

In a Q&A on X, a fan asked  “Louis how do you make chicken parmesan?” which prompted the singer to reply with a seemingly strong response.

The singer wrote, “you start by realising all these ridiculous childish theories and conspiracies are wasted time and energy, and then just throw the chicken in the oven to be fair. Simple stuff.” It appeared later that the user who posed the question clarified that they truly did only intend to ask for cooking advice.

In the years since One Direction disbanded, Harry Styles is currently in a relationship with actress Taylor Russell, and Tomlinson is reportedly single. The latter shares a child with personal stylist Briana Jungwirth.

Social Media Reactions

Tomlinson’s strong reaction to shutting down the “Larry” conspiracy was met with primarily support. Confusion lingers surrounding why Tomlinson’s reaction to the theories came from a simple question about a pasta dish, but one X user cleared up that the dish was a part of the conspiracy theory. Tomlinson once referred to cooking the dish with a former girlfriend as “one of the most romantic things he’s done,” and was later seen eating the meal with Styles.

Others remind newer fans of the singer to respect his privacy, as he has actively claimed the rumors were false for over a decade.

Others noted the strange timing of Tomlinson’s clap back against conspiracy theorists regarding his sexuality, as Taylor Swift made a similar statement in the prologue for her re-recorded “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

The new album prologue offers an intriguing narrative, one that calls out both fans and the media at large for sexualizing Swift’s female friendships.

The message explains that the “1989” era was intended to mark a new beginning in the singer’s personal life and career, in which she moved to New York City, worked on a synth pop album, and focused on her female friendships instead of her dating life. Instead, a faction of Swifties who call themselves “gaylors” have long shared conspiracy theories about Swift dating several of the famous women in her circle of friends, notable Karlie Kloss and Dianna Agron. 

In the prologue, Swift reflects on the impossible situation she felt stuck in at this point in her personal life and career.

The prologue goes to show that in the nearly ten years since the album’s original release, Swift continues to follow her own advice. Many applauded the singer for standing up for her personal boundaries in the new message.

Styles is yet to comment on Tomlinson’s clap back about the conspiracy theories surrounding their relationship.

The article attributes it to the organizers, which covers you.) — **Creator Frankie LaPenna fights ‘Terminator’ robot in first human vs. robot bout** SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A man stepped into a fighting cage with a 6-foot humanoid robot, and the robot came out on top. Robotics startup REK staged the human-versus-humanoid kickboxing demonstration in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 18, putting creator Frankie LaPenna inside a cage with the machine. The opponent was the 80-kilogram (176-pound) EngineAI T800, a humanoid built to look like the Terminator. LaPenna, wearing a helmet and chest protector, landed a few punches before the robot kicked him in the head, according to the official video description. Footage shows the robot kicking him across the cage as spectators outside the ring looked on. “We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight,” REK posted on X on Sept. 20, adding that more fight footage is coming. The “first” label comes from REK and LaPenna and has not been independently verified. The robot was not fighting on its own. REK’s robots are not autonomous fighters, and the event showcased remote control and mechanical stability rather than independent combat strategy. The bout was part of REK’s work on a virtual reality combat game in which people remotely control humanoid robots to compete against each other. REK founder Cix Liv came to robotics from virtual reality and is building a sport that links virtual competition to physical machines. The LaPenna match pushed his format beyond the company’s usual robot-versus-robot fights. Online, viewers debated whether a trained fighter would fare better, with some predicting human-versus-robot bouts could reach the UFC within five years. — Note: AP datelines use a dash after the city.
