Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles shocked their fans after displaying their affection for each other publicly. While many sources claimed that the two are in a romantic relationship, the celebrities have yet to confirm the assertions.
Entertainment Tonight recently released a brief timeline of how it all started. As noted, the two stars sparked dating rumors weeks after the In Time actress got out of her engagement to Jason Sudeikis.
The publication said that Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles first established their links in September 2020. As it happened, the "Watermelon Sugar" singer replaced Shia LaBeouf in the actress's upcoming film, Don't Worry Darling. This came after the Transformers actor had scheduling conflicts.
Wilde said in an interview, then, that she did a "happy dance" upon learning Styles' would join the cast. They have since been working together as co-stars. The 39-year-old actress is, also, directing the said film.
Earlier in January, Page Six reported that the two celebrities appeared to have taken their romance public as they held hands together before an audience. They attended the singer's agent's wedding at San Ysidro Rand in California as a pair.
The publication asserted that they might have "fallen for each other" on the set of their upcoming movie. Moreover, this is likely the first relationship that the actress has taken public since her split from Jason Sudeikis.
After the wedding, reports said that witnesses spotted Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles arriving back at the singer's home in Los Angeles. Photos of the moment, also, went public, and have since strengthened the stance of the dating rumors.
The Daily Mail, later on, released another set of images featuring the reported couple as they get "cozy" with each other in Santa Barbara. They were seemingly enjoying their casual hangout, alongside their friends.
While the two celebrities appeared to be in "great spirits" during their recent outings, netizens have mixed reactions about the romantic links. The same publication revealed that many of Harry Styles' "fanatics" trolled Olivia Wilde's latest posts on Instagram.
Several of the singer's avid fans slammed the filmmaker in the comment section, saying that she "stole" the Fine Line artist from them. Others even questioned Wilde's professionalism, considering that Styles plays the leading role in her upcoming movie.
Despite the criticisms, many individuals still defended the celebrities, describing the fans' "lashing out" over the rumored romantic ties as "embarrassing." In the end, though, confirmations have yet to surface whether they are, truly, dating or not.
