Harry Styles sparked brand-new dating rumours after he was spotted grabbing food with singer Olivia Dean in London following his shock split from Taylor Russell.

A fan photographed Olivia and Harry in the burger chain Five Guys and now of course fans have been sent spiralling, as they assume the two talented singers are now dating. However, there are also simultaneous rumours it means Harry's working on new music, as Olivia isn't the only musician he's been hanging with lately.

After news broke that Taylor and Harry and called it quits back in May, a source said that they'd experienced "a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart".

But three months after his public break up, is Harry actually dating someone new? Here are the rumours explained...

Is Harry Styles dating Olivia Dean?

Harry has been spotted with Olivia Dean on a handful of occasions this summer, most recently watching Sam Smith's set at Kalorama festival in Madrid, where Harry and Sam were also spotted in the crowd watching Olivia's set. Artists supporting artists, we love to see it!

Harry and Olivia were first photographed in Five Guys on Saturday 10th August and according to the fan who spotted them, the 'Music For A Sushi Restaurant' singer ordered a cookies and cream milkshake to accompany a burger.

Of course many have assumed these outings mean they're now dating, however an insider told the US tabloids: “Harry and Olivia have known each other for a while.

"They have loads in common with their music taste and are enjoying getting to know each other out of the spotlight. Harry loves nothing more than cycling and trying out new food spots in the capital and Olivia is a London girl so knows all the best places.”

So, for all we know the pair, who are both based in London, are just good pals - we all need some of those don't we? However their sighting also adds fuel to another rumour – that HS4 is coming.

Lots of fans hope their sighting hints to a music collaboration, as we know that Harry is working on his fourth solo album.

However on his past albums, 'Harry Styles', 'Fine Line' and 'Harry's House', the former One Direction star has no collabs which makes some fans sceptical that he'll break his streak.

For those of you who don't know Olivia well, she's a neo-soul artist who recently performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

She has hugely successful songs like 'Dive' and 'The Hardest Part' and she received three BRIT Award nominations earlier this year for Best Pop Act, British Artist of the Year, and Best New Artist.

Neither of them have addressed the collab or dating rumours.

Harry famously stays quiet on affairs like this, however Olivia has a little bit more of an online presence so perhaps she'll fill fans in soon.
