After nearly a year of dating, Harry Styles and Taylor Russell have broken up according to several sources. The two started dating in 2023 and have never gone public, but sources close to the couple revealed that they called it quits.
A source told The Sun: “Harry and Taylor have ended their relationship. They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart.”
The source explained that long distance might have contributed to the breakup.“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.”
A source previously told Daily Mail that Harry had plans to settle down with the actress. “Harry feels as if he has lived ten lifetimes already, but one thing is certain – his 30s will be nothing like his 20s. He has experienced all the fame anyone could ever want. He is now ready for the next chapter.”
The source continued, “He is in love with Taylor. He wants a family with her and this is the next phase of his life.”
“He’s even looking at rings,” a source told Life & Style on March 1, 2024. The insider went on to add, “He really is devoted to her, so much that he’s ready to take this to the next level.” The source’s comments come about eight months after the singer and actress were linked for the first time.
In June 2023, TikTok user @ellahodgkinson shared photos of the “Adore You” singer and the Bones and All actress out on a casual date in London. Since then, the pair have been spotted together on numerous occasions: over the summer of 2023, Taylor supported Harry at some of his tour dates in Austria and Italy, and he went on to attend one of her plays, The Effect, in London weeks later. By September, the pair had been photographed on vacation together, holding hands on strolls in the UK, and attending a U2 concert together in Las Vegas.
Harry and Taylor have never publicly addressed their relationship, the Lost in Space actress did open up about her thoughts on love and relationships during an interview with The Face, which was published not long after fans first spotted her and Harry together. She described the feeling of love as being “like a drug,” telling the magazine, “Being with the person all the time, you’d do anything for them. You’re like, ‘I wanna have all of this stuff with you and I wanna do everything with you.’”
“I have my distinct loves of my life and so I can remember the feelings of them pretty specifically and intensely. When I think about them, and being in love, it definitely feels like a drug,” she added. She also went on to reveal what made her feel the most loved: “being checked in on,” noting, “it’s underrated, I think.”
“I’m never going to be volunteering all of my feelings,” she admitted. “I’m somebody who, annoyingly, complicatedly, needs things to be asked and pulled from me to talk about it. But even then I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, is this too much? Is this too much?’ So I need a partner who is going to do that or else it’s never going to work.”
