In a plot twist that feels straight out of a rom-com gone wrong, Harry Styles and Taylor Russell have decided to part ways after nearly a year of dating. And yes, hearts are breaking faster than you can say “Watermelon Sugar.”
On this fateful Monday (May 20), The Sun dropped the bombshell that our beloved 30-year-old “As It Was” crooner and the 29-year-old “Bones and All” actress have called it quits. The alleged catalyst? A not-so-romantic trip to Japan. Who knew sushi and cherry blossoms could be so divisive?
“Harry and Taylor have decided to hit the pause button on their relationship,” spilled a source who probably knows what Harry eats for breakfast. “They hit a rough patch post-Japan and thought, ‘Hey, let’s take some time apart.’ Harry’s been chilling in America, while Taylor’s been sipping tea in London. They were the picture-perfect couple, and you could see Taylor put that mega-watt smile on Harry’s face.”
But alas, the source continued, “Things have been a bit tense lately, and they’ve decided to give each other some space. Maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder, or at least make for some good song lyrics.”
The duo first ignited the rumor mill in June 2023 when they were seen out together, making everyone gasp and say, “Wait, is that Harry and… who?” By July, Taylor was spotted busting a move in the VIP section at Harry’s concert in Vienna, Austria, possibly doing the cha-cha to “Sign of the Times.”
Then, in a move straight out of a celebrity playbook, they pretty much confirmed the dating rumors in August. They were seen getting cozy at the opening night gala of Taylor’s play, “The Effect” in London. Harry looked like a proud boyfriend, and Taylor looked like she had just won the lottery (which, let’s be honest, dating Harry Styles probably feels like).
Another celebrity couple bites the dust, leaving us with more questions than answers. Will they get back together? Was it the sushi? Only time (and perhaps a heartfelt ballad from Harry) will tell.
