Harry Styles (born 1st of February 1998, Age: 26) is a British singer, songwriter, and actor, who was born in Redditch, Worcestershire England. Harry Styles is 26 years old.
For someone who is only 30 years old, Harry Styles has certainly achieved a lot in his life. The British-born singer has headlined one of the bestselling boy bands of all time and has received several awards and broken numerous records. He has also gone on to establish an award-winning solo music career of his own.
Of course, living in the spotlight comes with controversies, and Harry Styles has not been able to escape this. If it is not his vague sexuality, then it is his relationship with actress and director, Olivia Wilde.
Wilde is 40 which means that she is about a decade older than Styles. This has predictably raised eyebrows and the whole thing has been further complicated by the fact that Wilde was in a relationship and actually engaged to the father of her two kids when she started going out with Styles. Despite all these controversies, the couple has stuck together and their young romance is beginning to look like the real deal.
Harry Styles is now a global superstar and his journey to fame began in the picturesque but quite boring town of Chapel Holmes in Cheshire. Born on the 1st day of February 1998 in the town of Worcestershire, Styles spent just a short period in his birthplace before his parents, Anne and Desmond, relocated the family to Chapel Holmes where he spent his early years and childhood. Even though it is not exactly known the age at which Harry Styles started singing, he commenced pretty early. As a child, he was always singing and so, his relatives gifted him items that they believed he would appreciate. One of such gifts was a karaoke machine from his grandpa and the young boy utilized it to make his first recording, a cover of Elvis Presley’s The Girl of my Best Friend. By the age of 14, Harry Styles joined a band in his school as their singer. They called themselves The White Eskimo and won a battle of the bands’ competition organized by their school. This fetched them a £100 prize but even more importantly their first gig of playing at a wedding. Having spent much of his early years serenading the people around him with his wonderful singing skills, several of Harry’s family members and loved ones began asking him to audition for talent shows such as X-Factor. One of them was his mom and she not only encouraged him to enroll but also turned in his form when he got cold feet. Harry eventually auditioned solo and made it as far as the boot camp before he was eliminated. As fate would have it, there were four other young persons of his age, namely Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan, who similarly failed to progress further. They were put together for the groups’ category of the competition and Harry suggested One Direction as their name. The others agreed and they went on to perform wonderfully on the show. Even though the group could only manage a 3rd place finish, they had already proven that they were the real deal and by the next year, 2011, they got a recording deal from Syco Records. Harry would later reveal that one of his greatest fears was that he could mess up the contract and ruin things for his bandmates if he were to perhaps get arrested for something. Harry Styles may have harbored fears of messing things up for his bandmates but nothing of such happened. Following the signing of their record deal, the quartet joined hands to release their debut album, Up All Night, in 2011. It was an instantaneous success. It topped the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. It also spurned several hit songs, such as What Makes You Beautiful, and sold more than three million copies in the U.S. alone. Such an impressive trajectory would come to define the story of One Direction. Three of their next four studio albums, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, Four, and Made in the A.M., made it to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart while the remaining one grabbed the 2nd spot. This saw Harry Styles and his bandmates make history as the only group to have their first four albums top the charts. They received a slew of awards and embarked on some of the highest-grossing tours in the history of music. They also sold 70 million albums worldwide which made them one of the bestselling boy bands of all time. Harry Styles and his One Direction bandmates whipped their global fan base into an unprecedented frenzy. They later began fearing some sort of burnout and decided to embark on a hiatus in 2016. The band remains on that hiatus to date and Styles has gone on to establish a thriving solo career as a singer. His solo albums include Harry Styles and Fine Line. He has also dropped a host of hit singles, including the 2020 hit, Watermelon Sugar. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It also fetched Harry Styles the Grammy Award for the best pop solo at the age of 27; a validation of all the hard work he has been putting into his career. Asides from music, Harry Styles is also making waves as an actor. He has featured in a handful of movies over the years, including the 2017 war film, Dunkirk. Dunkirk revolves around the famous WWII Dunkirk evacuation and Styles portrays a soldier named Alex. His casting stirred some controversy that he only got the role as a result of his fame but this was quickly dismissed by the film’s director. Styles himself also proved the naysayers wrong by giving a critically acclaimed performance. He has since gone on to land roles in other movies, including Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman. Harry Styles makes the news as much for his professional exploits as his personal life. The Grammy-winning singer has previously embarked on high-profile relationships with the likes of Taylor Swift. He is now going steady with actress and filmmaker, Olivia Wilde. Wilde is popular for movies such as The Lazarus Effect, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Cowboys and Aliens, and Tron: Legacy. She is also popular for her role as Remy Thirteen Hadley on the medical drama series – House. Wilde is now making inroads into filmmaking and has received accolades for her directorial debut, Booksmart. Booksmart is a 2019 teen comedy about two graduating high school girls who set out to finally break the rules and party on their last day. The movie received acclaim from the critics, including Variety which praised Wilde’s direction and described the film as the best high school buddy comedy since 2007’s Superbad. Wilde received awards for the film, including the Independent Spirit Award for the best first feature. This accolade has spurred the actress into further directorial works and it was in the course of this that she met Harry Styles. Harry Styles first sparked rumors that he was dating Olivia Wilde when the two were spotted holding hands together at the wedding of his agent in Montecito, California, in January 2021. According to sources at the wedding, the two were quite affectionate, held hands, and looked very happy. They were obviously smitten with each other and this reflected in several pictures of them that made their way to the internet. This alerted people that they were an item and sources close to them later confirmed the same. According to them, Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde first became close in late 2020 while working together on the film, Don’t Worry Darling. Wilde directed the film while Styles was a supporting star and this entailed them spending long days on the set together. They got to discover very wonderful facts about each other and soon began dating in earnest. This was in December 2020 and the couple did not allow their romance to interfere with filming. They kept things highly professional so much so that many of the fellow crew members did not even discover that they were an item until filming came to an end. Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are not engaged but they have been dating for several months now and their relationship keeps on going strong. They split their time between the U.K. and the U.S. and do normal couple things such as taking walks, visiting restaurants and pubs, etc. They have also been spotted taking a much-deserved vacation in places such as Italy. Wilde has also been quite supportive of her boyfriend’s career. For instance, when he won a Grammy Award in February 2021, she shared an Instagram message referencing him as a legend. She has also been visible during the run of his successful Love on Tour concerts. Despite her busy schedule, she was there for the opening night of the stadium tour in Las Vegas in September 2021. She also attended one of his concert stops in Los Angeles in October 2021. At every concert, Wilde usually throws all care to the winds and joins the crowd in singing and dancing to her boyfriend’s songs. This has inevitably helped them to grow closer as a couple and they are said to be having an awesome time. Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are indeed having an awesome time together but their romance has not been without its challenges. There is a ten-year age difference between the couple and this has set some tongues wagging. The couple couldn’t care less though, especially Harry. Sources close to the singer have it that he is completely unbothered by it. He is rather more concerned with the fact that he landed someone as cool as Wilde. Such a mindset doesn’t really come as a shock, given that Harry Styles has a history of dating older women. Back in 2010 when he was about 17 years old, he dated TV presenter, Caroline Flack, who is 14 years older. He also went ahead to date American singer, Taylor Swift, who is five years older. On her own part, Olivia Wilde is unconcerned with any rumors that may be swirling about her and Styles. The most important thing for her is that she loves the kind of man he is which is a progressive-minded man. For instance, in February 2021, she shared a long Instagram post in which she praised him for agreeing to play a supporting role in a female-led film. She revealed that most male actors wouldn’t accept that and thanked him for joining onboard their circus with humility and grace. Even before they started dating, Wilde once more alluded to the kind of man that Styles was in a November 2020 interview with Vague. She revealed that she was quite excited to have Styles on board her project, thanks to his natural appreciation for style and fashion. She praised him for redefining what it means to be a man with confidence and promoting a modern brand of confidence that is devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity. Another issue that has caused controversy for Harry Styles and his girlfriend is Wilde’s former relationship with actor, Jason Sudeikis. Wilde and Sudeikis dated for nearly a decade and welcomed two kids in the course of their romance. They also got engaged and their relationship was seemingly going strong until they broke up in November 2020. Wilde later start dating Styles about a month later and the closeness of the whole thing made many suggest that she left Sudeikis to be with the singer. She denied this and maintained that she and Sudeikis had separated for quite some time before she started dating Styles. She also stated that she and her ex were on amicable terms and in constant communication about their kids. This explanation mollified people for some time but Wilde and Styles caught flak when it became obvious that Sudeikis was blindsided about their romance. The couple was also criticized for leaked photos of them at the wedding and many saw it as a publicity stunt to promote their movie. Wilde and Styles didn’t have the easiest start to their relationship but things have stabilized now. The actress has made peace with her ex and she and Harry Styles are having a strong romance.
