Are Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski *Really* Dating? Romance Rumors, Kissing Video Explained

Music for a makeout session! Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski are still making headlines following their late March 2023 kiss, and fans are wondering if the celebs are actually dating.

"The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I'm surprised, but it's a tiny slice of my life," Emily, 31, told Spanish Vogue on April 20, in part, when discussing her love life. "Most of my life is focused on my son and my work. But I guess these issues don't inspire the same flashy headlines. The invasion of private aspects is very hard for me."

Acknowledging the Harry, 29, video leak, she "didn't expect this to happen." Emily added, "In general, there's a reason certain celebrities live in L.A., hire security, don't go to public restaurants, etc. If there is something to understand from reading my book, it is that all I wanted was to have money, to have freedom. So the idea of ??giving it up for the sake of privacy is something I haven't considered yet."

The "Late Night Talking" singer and model sparked some major romance rumors after they were spotted sharing a passionate kiss in Tokyo in late March. The now-viral smooch came amid Harry's Love on Tour shows in Japan, and according to a video of the romantic moment obtained by the Daily Mail, the stars looked casual as they made out while leaning against a large van.

Ahead of the kissing video's release a source told U.K.'s The Mirror that Harry was “seeing someone" following his breakup from Olivia Wilde. The insider added, "He’s going to great lengths to keep her identity quiet after the circus surrounding his relationship with Olivia.” The relationship was reported to be in the “early days,” with the source adding that things “seem to be going well.”

When it comes to the status of their relationship, not Harry nor Emily have spoken publicly thus far. Keep reading for everything we know so far. 

Are Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski Dating?

Thanks to their semi-romantic kiss video, fans are dying for details about their rumored romance. That being said, both stars are keeping things under wraps thus far.

As it turns out, the "Signs of the Times" crooner has actually spoken publicly about the My Body author in the past. In a past interview, which was shared by Not Skinny But Not Fat on Instagram, the former One Direction star could be heard calling "Emily Ratajkowski from Gone Girl" his celebrity crush.

"Harry manifested this," Amanda Hirsh, who runs the account, captioned the resurfaced clip.

As it turns out, Emily may have hinted at her and Harry’s rumored romance nearly three weeks before they were seen making out. Per the Daily Mail, the model spoke on an unnamed podcast on March 9 and seemingly referred to the Grammy Award winner. 

“I just started dating someone that I think I like, so that is different,” she explained, according to the outlet. “I was like, 'He's kind of great.' But if you had been talking to me four weeks ago, absolutely. I would be seeing someone, and then suddenly the way he would walk would be like, ugh.” 

However, following the Tokyo video emerging, Em told the Los Angeles Times that there are “a million insane, inaccurate” rumors surrounding her love life.

“I’m definitely still not thinking about guys,” she said in an interview published on Thursday, April 6. “Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things just happen.”

Why Did Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde Break Up?

Harry and the Booksmart director split in November 2022 after nearly two years together. The former flames met on the set of Don't Worry Darling and went public with their relationship in January 2021.

“Harry and Olivia had chemistry almost instantaneously on set,” a source told Us Weekly following their debut. “It was only a matter of time before they got together.”

Throughout their time together, Olivia was often seen touring with Harry. However, things eventually fizzled out between them.

Who Has Emily Ratajkowski Dated?

The model was married to Sebastian Bear-McClard from February 2018 until August 2022. They split following multiple allegations of the Uncut Gems producer's infidelity.

“I feel all the emotions,” Emily, who shares one son with her ex-husband, told Harper’s Bazaar in an October 2022 of the split. “I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different.”

Before Harry, she was also romantically linked to comedian Eric André and Pete Davidson.
