For the first time since they started dating in late 2020, Olivia Wilde has spoken out about
her relationship with Harry Styles. In a recent interview with Vogue, the director of the upcoming
film Don't Worry, Darling, which also stars her 'Fine Line' beau, got candid about their romance.
Olivia Wilde tells Vogue in a new interview that she's "happier than I've ever been,"
despite her desire to keep her relationship status with pop superstar Harry Styles private.
Olivia Wilde Talked About Her Relationship With Harry Styles—And How She Feels About
Criticism Over A 10-Year Age Gap. Olivia Wilde isn't one to speak openly about her
nearly year-long relationship with Harry Styles, but she did speak to Vogue about how she feels
about the sexist criticism she's received as a woman in her 30s dating a man a decade younger,
saying she's unconcerned on a personal level. Styles is 27 years old, while Wilde is 37.

Let’s get right into the good stuff now. “It’s obviously really tempting to correct
a false narrative,” Wilde started when asked if she wanted to address the commentary.
“But I think what you realize is that when you’re really happy, it doesn’t matter what strangers
think about you. All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.”
She continued: “In the past 10 years, as a society, we have placed so much more value
on the opinion of strangers rather than the people closest to us. [But] I’m happier than
I’ve ever been. And I’m healthier than I’ve ever been, and it’s just wonderful to feel that.”
To protect her privacy, Wilde avoided mentioning Styles during the interview,
but Vogue noted that she spoke glowingly about a "friend," most likely Styles, "who accompanied
her on a recent trip to her parents' home" while Styles was in D.C. or who gave her a
"beaded Éliou necklace" with her children's names, which is similar to one Styles wears.
Olivia told the publication: “It’s obviously really tempting to correct a false narrative.”
She continued: “But I think what you realise is that when you’re really happy,
it doesn’t matter what strangers think about you. “All that matters to you is what’s real,
and what you love, and who you love.” The actress, who shares two kids with
her ex Jason Sudeikis, went on to add: “In the past 10 years, as a society, we
have placed so much more value on the opinion of strangers rather than the people closest to us."
Styles and Wilde's relationship received its most recent source update in July,
when a source told Entertainment Tonight that their romance wasn't just casual.
"It's clear this wasn't a rebound or a one-night stand," the source said. "They genuinely care
about each other and have a strong bond." In the fall of 2020, the two started working
together on the set of Don't Worry Darling, which Wilde directs and Styles co-stars in
alongside Florence Pugh. The film, which is set to be released in September 2022, is about "a 1950s
housewife living with her husband in a utopian experimental community who begins to worry that
his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While Wilde and Styles have never confirmed their relationship, they first sparked rumours in
January when they were photographed hand-in-hand at the wedding of music manager Jeffrey Azoff.
Styles has taken over for Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming film Don't Worry, Darling,
according to Deadline. Wilde directs the film, which is based on an original script
by the VanDyke brothers and has a screenplay by Katie Silberman. Chris Pine and Florence
Pugh star in the film, which also features a cameo appearance by Oscar winner Olivia Wilde.
Wilde discusses her reaction to casting the former One Direction member in Don't
Worry Darling in an interview for Styles' Vogue cover story. Wilde also discusses her
excitement with Arianne Phillips, an Oscar nominee, and the film's costume designer.
"She and I did a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film,
because we knew that he has a real appreciation for fashion and style," Wilde explained
(via People). "And this movie is incredibly stylistic. It’s very heightened and opulent,
and I’m really grateful that he is so enthusiastic about that element
of the process—some actors just don’t Care." "To me, he’s very modern, and I hope that this
brand of confidence as a male that Harry has—truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity—is
indicative of his generation and therefore the future of the world," Wilde said. "I think he is
in many ways championing that, spearheading that. It’s pretty powerful and kind of extraordinary to
see someone in his position redefining what it can mean to be a man with confidence."
Director Wilde decided to share her admiration for Styles with
the WORLD in a very non-private way by posting about him on Instagram.
"Little known fact: most male actors don’t want to play supporting roles in female-led
films. The industry has raised them to believe it lessens their power (i.e financial value)
to accept these roles, which is one of the reasons it’s so hard to get financing for
movies focusing on female stories. No joke, it is harrrrrd to find actors who recognize why it
might be worth it to allow for a woman to hold the spotlight," Wilde wrote. "Enter: @harrystyles, our
'Jack' . Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold
center stage as our 'Alice', but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity.
He didn’t have to join our circus, but he jumped on board with humility and grace,
and blew us away every day with his talent, warmth, and ability to drive backwards.
#dontworrydarling." The Photographs of
Wilde and Styles holding hands surface online in early 2021, eliciting a barrage of questions.
"Harry and Olivia had chemistry almost instantly on set," a source
told Us Weekly at the time. “It was only a matter of time before they started dating."
Meanwhile, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Wilde and Styles met on the set of Don't
Worry, Darling and that their relationship blossomed from there. "Olivia and Harry are
together for long days on set and have gotten to know each other really well,
so it's all very organic," the source revealed. "[Olivia] wouldn't let a romantic relationship
get in the way of a professional one, so anything they're doing is being done thoughtfully."
Their romance has gotten a lot more attention in recent months after the
two were spotted carrying around a PDA while on vacation in Italy this summer.
Following a summer spent together in Italy in September, the two have been making time to see
each other despite their hectic schedules, with Harry on the road touring and Olivia filming her
next project with Brad Pitt. Olivia, according to a source, "joins him when she can," while Styles,
27, is on the road touring. "They seem very serious and happy," the source also told People.
More public displays of affection only serve to cement their status as Hollywood's newest power
couple. Wilde and Styles worked hard to keep their relationship a secret during filming,
according to a source. "Olivia and Harry were able
to keep their relationship under wraps for a bit before it became public knowledge,"
Us Weekly's source revealed. "They were very careful about it and even sleuth at times,
although the small group of people who were on set with them every day eventually figured it out."
Olivia joined Styles at his concert in Vegas in September, despite their best efforts to keep
their relationship out of the spotlight. According to reports, she had a great time at the show,
and an insider even told People magazine, "She was so happy and dancing all night!
It was very cute. She was singing along to almost every song and having a good time with the people
she was with." 👊
A lot of fans have took on twitter to express their doubt of this relationship being a PR
stunt to promote the movie. According to a source who
told Entertainment Tonight Wilde and Styles' budding romance is real because the wedding
photos that first leaked confirming their relationship were not staged in any way.
"[The wedding photos] were] absolutely not leaked or staged for any sort of promotional reason,"
a source confirmed to the outlet, confirming that they were taken without the couple's Knowledge.
The couple, who met on the set of their upcoming film Don't Worry Darling, are also
said to be able to balance their professional and personal lives while on set. Though the couple's
relationship isn't kept a secret on set, the source says it hasn't interfered with the
pair's ability to maintain a "professional, collaborative, and fun" work environment.
Styles and Wilde, if anonymous sources are to be believed, are still going strong. According
to People, Wilde and Styles "appear to be very serious" and "spend all of their time together."
"[Olivia] is also very happy with Harry," the source added.
