Olivia Wilde Makes A Public Statement About Harry Styles
Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles have had a whirlwind romance to say the least. Their relationship has captured plenty of attention and has been hailed as an "unexpected romance." The pair met while on the set of the upcoming horror film Don't Worry Darling, which Wilde is directing and Styles is starring in, and things got pretty serious between them quickly. The two have caused quite a stir with the media as well, mainly due to their significant age gap and the fact that Wilde recently ended her engagement with actor Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children (per People), after more than eight years of together.
The couple first sparked dating rumors when they were seen holding hands at a friend's wedding in early January 2021, per Entertainment Tonight. They were then seen getting cozy and showing PDA on various other occasions. A source told People that they spent a lot of time together on-set and off and that "their chemistry was very obvious."
While both Styles and Wilde have remained tight-lipped about their relationship, it is pretty obvious that they are very taken with each other and Wilde recently broke her silence to praise her new beau in a heartfelt post on Instagram.
