Everyone is talking about Harry Styles and his new girlfriend Taylor Russell as their romance has been heating up over the summer months.

The hot new celebrity couple, both 29, have yet to talk about their romance publicly but they have shown great support for each other's ventures in recent months.

First Russell cheered Styles on during his Love On Tour concerts from Vienna to Italy.

Later, Styles returned the favour as he was seen supporting Russell at the night of her play The Effect at the National Theatre for the opening night in August earlier this year.

Although they have mostly kept their romance out of the limelight, they have been seen holding hands.

Before Styles, the Canadian actor had wielded the power of a rising star in Hollywood following the buzz around her role in Bones and All.

She has been carving out her own place in the spotlight with a number of roles in movies and TV since her acting debut in 2012 when she first appeared in a small guest role in an episode of the medical drama series Emily Owens, M.D.

Alongside Timothée Chalamet, all eyes were on Russell as she stepped into the leading female role in the cannibal drama movie Bones and All.

For her performance, she received the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best New Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival in Italy in September last year.

Promoting the film, the actor joined forces with Chalamet on the star-studded red carpets.

Plus, the Canadian born star has starred in the Netflix science fiction series Lost in Space.

Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Russell openly shared her thoughts about love when asked what her favourite drug was.

She told Face magazine in August: "Love, a lot of the time, feels like a drug, you feel so insane. Being with the person all the time, you'd do anything for them. You’re like, 'I wanna have all of this stuff with you and I wanna do everything with you.'

"That feels like, especially when you're not in love all the time… I have my distinct loves of my life and so I can remember the feelings of them pretty specifically and intensely."

Also in the discussion, Russell laid bare the "tax" she feels in a romantic relationship.

She added: "You are going to be hurt – that's the tax. The tax on a real relationship is the reality that you will get hurt, you will [have] grief, something will be lost at some point and that’s OK. It’s worth it.

"It’s something that I’m having to remind myself a lot."
