Olivia Dean is having a major year. The British singer has been on the radar of many music aficionados for a while now but  2024 has seen her crack the mainstream. Her 2023 album, Messy has been taking off, she was nominated for three BRIT awards, and a Chopova Lowena-clad Glastonbury performance launched her into the gaze of the style set. She’s even scored a Chanel ambassadorship!

It’s safe to say Olivia is an it-girl-in-the-making—a title only bolstered by rumours she’s linked up with an A-list musician. In early August, Olivia was photographed on what appeared to be a date with Harry Styles. But are the musical duo actually together? 

Scroll on for everything we know about Olivia and Harry’s rumoured romance so far.
