All About Taylor Russell, Harry Styles’ Rumored Girlfriend

As Harry Styles finishes his Love On Tour concert series, it’s been rumored he might have started a new romance with Canadian actress Taylor Russell. Russell was seen at Styles’ Vienna concert in early July. She was in the VIP section in photos obtained by TMZ, where she was seen dancing all night long.

A source recently told The Sun, “Harry and Taylor have been spending a lot of time together. She is a huge fan of his music.”

Here’s everything to know about Harry Styles and Taylor Russell so far.

Who is Taylor Russell?

Originally from Vancouver, the 29-year-old actress recently starred across from Timothée Chalamet in the cannibal movie Bones and All. Her breakout role was on Netflix’s Lost In Space, and she is starring upcoming films Mother Couch across from Ewan McGregor and Hope, with Alicia Vikander.

She moved around quite a lot, as her father was an actor as well.

“I didn’t grow up in a wealthy family,” she told ELLE in a 2019 interview. “My parents struggled; we were on welfare. Things changed a lot, so there was always an opportunity for reinvention, to create something new.”

How long have Styles and Russell been dating?

Before being spotted at his concert in Vienna, they were seen in London in June, leaving a museum and holding hands. They were also seen together in the city before the concert, and Pop Crave shared a video on Twitter of them near the Plague Column.

A woman resembling Russell also appeared to be accompanying Styles the at Barcelona-El Prat airport, and they were later seen at Soho House Barcelona. Another attendee said, “Harry and Taylor appeared to be enjoying some downtime as they relaxed on sun loungers by the pool.”

How did Russell and Styles meet?

It’s hard to say, as they both run in media circles with plenty of opportunities to cross paths. They were both at the Venice Film Festival last year, where Styles was promoting his movie Don’t Worry Darling with his former girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, who directed.

They also apparently have a lot in common in regards to their love of fashion and Styles allegedly “loves that Taylor is a brand ambassador for luxury label Loewe and is set to take to the stage in London next week.”

Have Russell and Styles been photographed together?

Yes, the two stars fueled dating rumors once more in early August when photographs came out of them very close to each other while at the debut of Russell’s new play The Effect. TMZ ran the shots, which you can see here.

Styles, per TMZ’s sources, kept a low profile so Russell could have her moment. TMZ reports that while Styles and Russell did not show any PDA after the performance, they stuck close to each other.

The outlet noted that they left the event separately, with Styles departing before Russell. Russell, however, was later seen getting in Styles’ car after leaving the theater from the stage door.

What has Russell said about love?

The actress spoke to The Face in August about how she looks at relationships amid her rumored romance with Styles.

She called love her favorite drug. “I mean, love, a lot of the time, feels like a drug, you feel so insane,” she said. “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.’ That feels like, especially when you’re not in love all the time… 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. But honestly, I didn’t experiment with drugs much when I was a teenager and in my twenties.”

She also addressed what makes her feel loved: “being checked in on,” adding, “it’s underrated, I think.”

“I’m never going to be volunteering all of my feelings,” she said. “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.”

“It’s weird,” she said of the impulse. “It’s like that thing when you feel vulnerable or on display for saying something, or talking too much or whatever. Saying something about yourself and then feeling like, ‘Oh no, I shouldn’t be talking about myself. I should be asking about you, because that’s the thing I should be doing and it’s not that interesting. We don’t need to talk about me, don’t worry. I’ll handle it.’”
