Harry Styles and Taylor Russell were a much loved celebrity couple, but now they've reportedly broken up. How long did they date and how did they meet?
Sadly it has been reported that Harry Styles has broken up with model and actress Taylor Russell. Fans are now back to how they felt when they were first seen together; heartbroken and happy all at the same time.
While some are excited that Harry's a single man others are distraught that the seemingly well-matched pair have gone their separate ways.
In 2023 it was believed that the ‘As It Was’ singer had found romance once again following his relationship with Olivia Wilde which came to an end in 2022 after two years, but after 14 months with Taylor they're supposedly no more.
How long were Harry and Taylor dating before they split, how did they meet and what else do we know about their now ended relationship? Here’s their entire dating timeline.
It was reported in May 2024 that Harry and Taylor are no longer dating. A source told the tabloids that their recent trip to Japan ended up being the downfall of their relationship, the insider said: "Harry and Taylor have ended their relationship. They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart.
"He’s been in America and she’s been in London. They made a lovely couple and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy. Things have become strained recently though and they’ve taken some time out.”
In April 2024 Harry and Taylor were spotted multiple times together in Tokyo, there were photographed on the subway and walking the streets of Japan's capital.
On the subway they were seen to be linking arms and chatting, with Harry sporting a face mask - safety first!
Harry and Taylor proved they're the most stylish couple to walk the earth when they were pictured leaving a townhouse in New York together earlier in March.
They looked fresh from a fashion shoot with Taylor wrapping up in a floor-length navy trench, wide leg jeans and a cap while Harry cut an effortless figure in beige trousers and a warm brown cardigan teamed with Adidas Sambas.

On 26th January Harry and Taylor were spotted wrapping up warm as they stepped out in the cold in Hampstead, London. They both kept their appearance low-key bundled up in thick coats and hats, with Harry wearing his hood over his cap for extra warmth.
It's another of many outings the new couple have made together recently as they seemingly continue to go from strength to strength whilst Harry has down time from his busy last few years.
Harry and Taylor were photographed on the beach in Anguilla at the start of January after ringing in the New Year together. Harry's pal James Corden was also hanging out with the couple; the former chat show host and 'Watermelon Sugar' singer are close friends and often vacation together.
In pics obtained by MailOnline, Harry was seen taking a dip in the sea – showing his buzz cut is a thing of the past – while Taylor strolled along the sand in a white crochet dress, stopping to pose for photos as a friend snapped pictures.
On Boxing Day Taylor joined Harry for one of his favourite hobbies – cold water swimming! They both did their best to stay as warm as possible, wearing woolly hats and boots despite being stripped down to their swimwear for the festive dip.
A fan account shared a picture of the couple after their refreshing splash in the Thames, with Taylor turning around to talk to her boyfriend as they made their way away from the water. Given the picture was taken on Boxing Day, it could be that these two spent Christmas together, a sure sign things are getting serious!
Harry and Taylor danced along to U2's biggest hits as they watched the group perform in Las Vegas' brand new venue, the Sphere in November. Even though fans were more interested in his new haircut, we can't deny how cute these two look in the pics obtained by TMZ.
According to fans in the crowd they were 'cuddled up all night long' and were having a great time with a group of their friends, even dancing in a circle at the end of the night.
The latest intel is that this once 'rumoured' relationship could be moving fast, as it emerges that the singer is "head over heels for Taylor and loves spending as much time with her as he can".
A source told Us Weekly: "Things are very serious, and Harry definitely sees a future with Taylor."
"Despite their busy schedules, they make time for each other as often as possible," it was revealed.
It comes after Harry and Taylor were spotted together at an after party in October for Taylor's stage show, The Effect in London, where they were "smiling and laughing together".
Trying to keep their romance 'under the radar' the pop star was seen "whispering" into the actress' ear after introducing her to his long time celebrity friend James Corden.
It is reported that they were together for 14 months but they were public for 11 months. Harry and Taylor were first seen together in London back in June 2023 but called things off in May 2024.
Not long after they were seen in London, Taylor was later spotted at his Love on Tour concert in July in Vienna, where the actress danced the night away in the VIP section of the crowd according to TMZ. Harry returned the favour by supporting her at the launch night of stage production The Effect in August.
It’s not known how Harry and Taylor met one another, but they were first pictured at the Venice Film Festival in 2022 when Harry was promoting Don’t Worry Darling with then-girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
They were first spotted together in London in June so it’s not known when and how they were officially introduced. However, they apparently run in similar circles so this could have very much been a “through mutual pals” kinda situation.
