Amid speculation that Harry Styles is gearing up to release new music, the follow-up following his 2022 platinum-selling album “Harry’s House,” the pop superstar also is reportedly indulging in his longtime pattern of linking himself romantically to a glamorous female celebrity.
According to People magazine, Styles has been “spending time” with Zoe Kravitz — and doing a bit more. Styles, 31, and Kravitz, 36, were seen kissing at a trendy London restaurant last week, following a promotional event for her new film, “Caught Stealing,” the celebrity account, Deuxmoi, first reported Monday.
“He’s been spending time with her while she’s been on her press run,” a source confirmed to People.

The former One Direction member and the “Big Little Lies” star also turned up in Rome on Sunday, walking down a street with Kravitz wrapping her arm in his, according to a video posted to an Styles fan account on X.
If Kravitz is Styles’ new love interest, she can at least know she’s in some pretty famous company. Over the years, Styles has enjoyed high-profile flings or more serious relationships with Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Taylor Russell and, most notoriously, his “Don’t Worry Darling” director Olivia Wilde.
For her part, Kravitz is coming off a pretty serious relationship and engagement to Channing Tatum, who starred in the 2024 erotic thriller, “Blink Twice,” which marked her directorial debut. Kravitz and the “Magic Mike” star got in engaged in October 2023, but called it off a year later after “they realized they’re at different stages in life,” a source told People last year.
Styles was mostly recently dating “Bones and All” star Russell, thought they broke up in May 2024 after less than a year of dating, People reported.
Before that, Styles became embroiled in one of the most dishy celebrity scandals in a long time.
Styles met Wilde in the fall of 2020 when he was once again trying to establish himself as an actor and co-starred in her film, “Don’t Worry Darling.”
During the filming of the movie, news broke that Wilde had broken up with her long-time fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares a young son and daughter. By early January 2021, Wilde and Styles began stepping out together as a couple, and their relationship continued through the following year as they promoted the release of “Don’t Worry Darling” in the fall of 2022.
However, the film’s release was overshadowed by almost daily revelations about how Wilde and Styles’ reported on-set romance created tensions with other cast members, notably with star Florence Pugh. The former nanny for Wilde and Sudeikis also claimed that Wilde’s budding interest in Styles was a factor in her split from Sudeikis. She said that the “Ted Lasso” actor was blindsided by Wilde’s alleged affair with the pop-music heartthrob.
Since all the “Don’t Worry Darling” hoopla and Styles’ massive success that year with “Harry’s House,” for which he won two Grammy Awards, Styles has retreated a bit from public life, according to the Daily Mail.
“Three years on, however, fans have seen precious little of the former One Direction star, bar the occasional paparazzi shot of the singer,” the Daily Mail. “But above all, there has been no sign of any new music from Harry.”
That’s supposedly going to change. But it’s not clear how soon, the Daily Mail said. There’s been an “explosion” of online speculation that a fourth album is in the works. However, the Daily Mail said the release of the fourth album might be on hold until 2027.
“His next album isn’t finished yet, despite the speculation on some of the fan websites,” a source told the Daily Mail reported. “He’s a perfectionist and wants to make sure the release hits all the right spots.”
But if there won’t be any new Styles music for another two years, his fans will have to satisfy themselves with news about the latest famous woman he is dating. For the time being, that woman appears to be Kravitz.
