Are Harry Styles And Taylor Russell Still Together?

Harry Styles and Taylor Russell have decided to take a break from their relationship after being together for almost a year. The news came out on May 20, when reports said that the couple had ended their romance.

However, their decision might not be final. A source shared with Us Weekly that Styles and Russell still see serious potential in their relationship, which is why they are taking some time apart.

“They are taking some time to think about their future and whether they want to continue this relationship for the long term,” the source said.

Why Did They Take a Break?

The first report about their breakup came from The Sun. A source explained that their relationship became difficult after a trip to Japan in April. Since then, Styles has been in America, and Russell has been in London. The distance between them made things harder.

“They had a difficult time after their trip to Japan and decided to take a break,” the source said. “Harry has been in America, and Taylor has been in London. They made a wonderful couple, and it was clear that Taylor made Harry happy. However, things became stressful recently, and they needed some time apart.”

Despite this, a different source told People on May 3 that Styles and Russell had been doing well and were serious about each other. They had traveled together and spent time in England.

That same source also described Styles as a very private person. “Harry and Taylor enjoy the same things, and they both like keeping their relationship low-key,” they said.

A Private Romance from the Start

Styles and Russell never spoke publicly about their relationship. This was not surprising, especially for Styles, who has always kept his personal life away from the spotlight.

In August 2022, he told Rolling Stone why he chooses to keep his romantic life private. “I have never talked about my personal life in public, and I have found that it has helped me in a good way,” he said.

He also mentioned that people will always create their own stories about his relationships. “There will always be different versions of what happened, and I decided that I will not spend my time trying to correct or change those stories,” he added.

Their Relationship Timeline

Styles and Russell started dating in 2023. Reports first connected them in June when they were spotted together in public. In July, Russell attended Styles’ concert in Vienna, Austria. She was seen dancing in the VIP section. The next day, fans saw them walking around the city together. A TikTok video shared by a fan showed them enjoying their time in Vienna.

In August 2023, Styles supported Russell at a major event. He attended the opening night of her play, The Effect, at the National Theatre in London. Later that night, photos showed them close together at the afterparty.

Around the same time, Russell spoke about her approach to relationships in an interview with The Face magazine. She shared that she finds it difficult to express her emotions freely.

“I don’t usually talk about my feelings without being asked,” she said. “I need someone to pull it out of me. Even then, I sometimes feel like I am sharing too much, so I need a partner who is willing to ask me about my thoughts. If that does not happen, the relationship will not work.”

After that, Styles and Russell were seen together on multiple occasions. In September, they went on a coffee run in London. In November, they attended a U2 concert in Las Vegas, where Styles debuted his buzz cut. In January, they were spotted walking through London’s Hampstead neighborhood.

Past Relationships and Media Attention

Before dating Russell, Styles was in a relationship with actress and director Olivia Wilde. They were together for almost two years before they decided to take a break in November 2022.

Russell had been linked to her Waves co-star Lucas Hedges before her relationship with Styles.

Both Styles and Russell prefer to keep their romantic lives private. They have never shared personal details about their past relationships, which is why they never spoke publicly about their time together.

What’s Next for Harry Styles and Taylor Russell?

The decision to take a break does not mean their relationship is over for good. Sources suggest that Styles and Russell still care about each other and may reunite in the future.

“They are taking this time to think about what they really want,” a source said. “They had a great connection, but relationships can be challenging. They just need to figure out if they are ready to move forward together.”

For now, Styles and Russell continue to focus on their personal lives and careers. Styles remains a highly successful musician with millions of fans worldwide. Russell has been building her career as an actress and gaining recognition for her work.

Even though they are not together at the moment, many fans still believe they may reconnect in the future. Their strong bond and mutual understanding might bring them back together when the time is right.

Until then, both Styles and Russell are taking the time they need to reflect on their relationship and decide what is best for them.
