FOR a brief time, they were one of pop’s most iconic power couples.
Megastars Harry Styles and Taylor Swift were only young when their whirlwind romance seized the attention of the world.
When did Harry Styles and Taylor Swift date?
Harry and Taylor reportedly met backstage at the 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards, aged 18 and 22 respecitvely.
They were next seen together in November 2012, when Harry visited the Love Story singer at her rehearsals for an upcoming performance on the X Factor.
A host on the show, Mario Lopez, confirmed he saw the young singers “hand-in-hand”.
Iconic pictures of the pair on a date in Central Park, New York City, were snapped a few weeks later, followed by several other outings where onlookers reported they “definitely looked like a couple”.
They celebrated Swift’s 23rd birthday in Northern England, enjoyed a Christmas skip trip in Park City, Utah, and shared a New Year’s Eve kiss at midnight in Times Square before jetting off together on a Caribbean vacation.
In a 2017 interview for Rolling Stone, Harry said of their Central Park date: “When I see photos from that day, I think: Relationships are hard at any age.
“And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier.”
When did Harry Styles and Taylor Swift break up?
Fans of the megastar duo began to fear their favourite couple were on the rocks when Taylor was seen leaving the Caribbean holiday alone while Harry visited Richard Branson‘s private island.
On January 7, 2013, a source confirmed to People the musical lovebirds had indeed split.
Devoted Swifties surmised multiple songs on the singer’s fifth studio album, 1989, were about her One Direction ex.
Who did Harry Styles date after Taylor Swift?
A 19-year-old Harry reportedly dated musician Rod Stewart‘s daughter Kimberly Stewart, then 33, shortly after splitting with Taylor.
In November 2013, he was spotted having dinner with model Kendall Jenner in Los Angeles.
The pair went skiing and snowboarding in Mammoth, California, then celebrated Harry’s 20th birthday together in February 2014.
It wasn’t until December 2015 that the rumored couple were seen together again – this time sharing a kiss on a yacht while vacationing in Anguilla.
In what would seem to be an on-again-off-again relationship, they were next allegedly seen together by fans in April and September 2016, then for a final time in November that same year.
During gaps in his fling with Kendall, Harry was briefly connected to Australian model Nadine Leopold and New Zealand model Georgia Fowler.
Following Harry’s second split with the Kardashian-Jenner sister, he was linked to London-based food blogger Tess Ward, then Victoria’s Secret model Camille Rowe.
But perhaps his most famous relationship was with Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, who he dated for two years.
He was spotted in March 2023 kissing American model Emily Ratajkowski, but is rumored to be dating Canadian actress Taylor Russell as of October 2023.
The pair were first seen together in June 2023, and Harry supported Russell at the opening night of her London play The Effect in August 2023.
