Harry Styles, the English singer and songwriter, has often been in the news for some reason or other. Just a few days back, his androgynous dressing had made the headlines as he smashed gendered clothing with his wardrobe choices. However, his dressing sense, his songs, and his sexuality are not the only things that the paparazzi are after. His relationships have also been quite the hot topic ever since the singer became popular in 2010. On his birthday, we look back at a few of his relationships that made headlines for more reasons than one.

  1. Caroline Flack: This relationship was bound to create ripples as the singer was only 17 years old during the relationship, and Flack was 30. They met while Styles and other members of One Direction were competing on ‘X Factor’. However, their relationship was not smooth as the couple received a lot of criticism for the wide age gap between them 
  2. Taylor Swift: When the two of the most popular singers of this generation got together, it had to make the news. Although it a short and swift romance, fans believe that their affair has been immortalised by the numerous songs that they wrote for each other. Even after the breakup, the singers were apparently writing songs for each other, as decoded by their fans
  3. Nicole Scherzinger: Another age gap that did not get unnoticed was between Styles and his second girlfriend after X Factor, Nicole Scherzinger. Styles and the boys had become the world’s biggest band, and he was only 19. At that time, Harry and Nicole, who was 35 at that time, had a short-lived dalliance. The on-and-off relationship drew less speculation this time as Harry was already an adult. 
  4. Kendel Jenner: Due to the obvious involvement of the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star, this affair shook the world of the fans of both Jenner and Styles. However, what started as the talk of the town soon faded away, and the couple broke up. The first time they were dating was around 2013-14 and after their breakup, they got back together for a while again later. That did not last long too. 
  5. Olivia Wilde: Currently, Harry Styles, 26, is dating Olivia Wilde, who is 36 years old. Wilde, who got divorced early last year, had not made any of her other relationships public after the divorce until Styles came. Reportedly, they met on the sets of Dunkirk. The couple was recently spotted holding hands at their agent’s wedding.
