If there's one way to unintentionally raise your profile, it's by being romantically linked to Harry Styles. And the most recent victim (or victor) is Taylor Russell, who the 'As It Was' singer started dating in June 2023.
While Harry tries to keep his personal life out of the public eye as much as possible, it's hard not to guess who he's dating when he's caught kissing people on the streets (Emily Ratajkowski), taking them on boat trips (Kendall Jenner) or walking around in public holding their hands (Olivia Wilde). The same is true when he breaks up with someone, and recent reports suggest Taylor and Harry have decided to part ways after a 'make or break' trip to Japan in April.
But who exactly is Taylor Russel? And are they still together? Here's everything we know about the starlet.
Who is Taylor Russell?
Taylor Russell is an actress from Canada. She first starred in the Netflix series Lost in Space in 2018, and her career has gone from strength to strength ever since. You can find her on Instagram at @tayrussell where she shares glamorous premiere pictures, modelling shoots and promotes her latest acting projects. No pictures of Harry Styles though, sorry.
How old is Taylor Russell?
Taylor was born on 18 July 1994 and is 29 years old. Just a few months younger than Harry!
What movies has Taylor Russell starred in?
Aside from her Netflix series, Taylor has starred in the critically acclaimed drama Waves (2019), for which she was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female, and the horror film Escape Room (2019) and its 2021 sequel.
Most notably, she starred alongside Timothée Chalamet in Bones and All and won the Marcello Mastroianni Award. And most recently, she is playing the part of Connie in the play The Effects by Lucy Prebble – who was one of the lead writers on the hit HBO show Succession. It's safe to say we can expect to see a lot more of Taylor on our screens then!
How did Taylor Russell and Harry Styles meet?
The pair were spotted hanging out for the first time in June. They were seen (brace yourselves) walking down the street together (and we all know that could mean just about anything!), then a month later in July, Taylor was spotted at one of Harry's shows in Vienna. The following day, they were (once again) seen walking around the city together.
Two street-side sightings gave fans enough material to work with, and rumours started flying around that Taylor and Harry were seeing each other. When Taylor's play The Effect started its run at the National Theatre in London, Harry was spotted returning the favour and supporting her as a guest. The hot new couple were then seen 'getting cosy' (hugging) at the post-show party, seemingly confirming their relationship.
Once they established their status as an IT couple, Taylor and Harry were papped in immaculate outfits in various cities around the world. Wherever these two went, photographers followed.
Have Harry Styles and Taylor Russell broken up?
Sadly, the pair have not been spotted together since their 'make or break' trip to Japan and multiple sources have said they have called it quits. After a year of dating, Harry Styles stans have mixed feelings about the split, with some saying Taylor was the 'best girlfriend he's ever had' and others thrilled to hear he's back on the market.
