Harry Styles 'splits from model girlfriend' after 'make or break' holiday

Harry Styles and actress Taylor Russell have reportedly ended their relationship.

The 30-year-old former One Direction heartthrob had been in a relationship with the 'Bones And All' star, aged 29, for over a year before they decided to part ways last month, according to sources.

The couple, who took a romantic getaway to Japan in April, were said to be on a 'make or break' holiday.

Despite being seen together on the Tokyo subway, Taylor attended the Met Gala solo earlier this month, without Harry accompanying her, reports the Mirror.

An insider revealed to The Sun: "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."

Speculation about trouble in paradise began when Harry was noticeably absent from the Met Gala, where Taylor turned heads in an exquisite gown featuring a wooden corset bodice with red leafy designs and a flowing white skirt.

She completed the look with her hair slicked back and subtle makeup, showcasing her natural beauty.

The solo appearance of the pop star on the red carpet raised eyebrows among fans, as Harry is no stranger to such events, having even hosted the 2019 Met Gala during his debut attendance.

Known for his fashion-forward style, Harry's absence from the carpet sparked concern among fans who were eager to see him.

"Why aren't you at the Met Gala tonight, Harry Styles? WHY," a fan queried on X, formerly known as Twitter. The musician's followers were keen to catch a glimpse of him, given his absence since wrapping up his Love on Tour shows last year.

Fans had hoped that this high-profile event would end their Harry drought. Another fan lamented: "Why do I always hope to see Harry Styles at the MetGala? ? Every year is the same thing."

Despite only attending once before, fans are convinced that Harry would have nailed this year's dress code, Garden of Time.

One admirer commented: "The Gala would have been no challenge for Harry Styles. He looks like a prince every time he dons a suit. All he needed was a tux with a flower and BOOM he'd slay."

Harry and Taylor's relationship first came to light last March when they were spotted together on what appeared to be a romantic walk.

They were seen together again in July when Taylor attended Harry's Love On Tour gigs in Vienna from the VIP area.

Harry publicly supported his girlfriend Taylor when she starred in The Effect at the National Theatre in London.

He was spotted at the afterparty, where he and Taylor were seen getting cosy.

Since then, the pair have been seen together frequently in London, even braving a Boxing Day swim at Hampstead Heath ponds. The Mirror has contacted representatives for Harry for a response to this story.
