Harry Styles confirms romance with Taylor Russell as they enjoy a night out with his pal James Corden after the singer attended the press night of her new play

Harry Styles has confirmed his romance with Taylor Russell as the pair put on a very cosy display in London in Wednesday.

The singer, 29, had secretly attended the press night of the actress’ new play The Effect at the National Theatre and the pair were seen looking very close as they celebrated at the post-show party.

The duo certainly did nothing to deter dating rumours as pictures show the pair could barely keep their eyes off each other, with Bones And All star Taylor, 28, placing an affectionate hand on Harry’s shoulder.

Harry appeared enamored by the beauty as he leaned in close and spoke in her ear, seemingly not noticing anyone else around him.

He did however prise himself away as he introduced Taylor to pal James Corden and his wife Julia Carey, who were also in attendance.

The couples spent some time chatting together, with the smitten Adore You hitmaker seen carrying some of Taylor’s belongings.

The former One Direction star looked in good spirits as he sipped on a glass of white wine and shared a giggle with friend James at the event.

The meeting with her alleged boyfriend’s pals appeared to go well as the Waves actress was seen sharing a hug with the presenter and wife Julia.

Harry cut a smart figure in a dark grey blazer, while he wore a pair of sunglasses on top of his head.

Canadian beauty Taylor meanwhile looked stylish in a brown strapless dress, with her hair elegantly swept into a neat bun.

He was later picked up by a chauffeur driven car from the side door of the theatre, before the car then headed to the stage door to collect Taylor.

The actress attempted to make a low-key exit as she covered up in a hooded cream cape as she clambered into the car after Harry.

Their cosy outing comes a month after they further fueled relationship speculation as she attended the singer’s Love On Tour concert in Vienna.

The As It Was hitmaker, who was shockingly hit in the eye by a flying object on stage also during the night, first sparked rumours with the Bones And All actress when they were spotted out in London together in June.

In photos obtained by TMZ, the Canadian-born star could be seen situated in a special VIP tent section at the concert alongside a crew member who had a variety of technical items in front of him.

She reportedly was seen dancing the night away to the former One Direction singer’s hit tracks for the ‘entirety’ of the show and donned a chic, sleeveless white dress for the outing.

According to the outlet, Russell was spotted out in Vienna before the concert on Saturday wearing the same white dress while standing next to a man who appeared to possibly be Styles in a viral Twitter photo.

Following this, a short video shared by Pop Crave on Twitter showed the two stars enjoying an outing together in Vienna the day after the concert.

In June, the singer and actress were spotted together for the first time as they exited a museum in London, and at one point, also reportedly held hands, per TMZ. The stars, however, have yet to publicly comment on the romance rumors.

When the two stars first crossed paths is still unclear, but both Harry and Taylor attended the 79th Venice International Film Festival last year in September 2022.

Styles notably was promoting Don’t Worry Darling, while Russell celebrated the premiere of Bones And All.

The Grammy winner previously dated Olivia Wilde from January 2021 until their split the following year in November 2022.

At the time of the break up, a source told People, ‘He’s still touring and is now going abroad. She is focusing on her kids and her work in L.A. It’s a very amicable decision,’ and added that, ‘They’re still very close friends.’

However, most recently, the Don’t Worry Darling actor was briefly linked to supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, when the two were seen passionately kissing on the streets of Tokyo in a video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com in March.

The following month, the model herself publicly addressed the viral kiss and told The Los Angeles Times in April that, ‘I’m definitely still not thinking about guys.’

‘There’s a million insane, inaccurate things about my relationships [that are said],’ she expressed, and then added, ‘Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things just happen.’

In the past, Styles also dated French-American model, Camilla Rowe from 2017 until 2018, and also dated Taylor Swift over 10 years ago in 2012.

In regards to Harry’s possible new beau, Russell is a budding actress who most recently starred in the 2022 film titled, Bones And All, alongside Timothee Chalamet.

She received critical acclaim for her performance, and a received the nomination for Best Lead Performance at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Taylor, who was born in the community of Deep Cove in Vancouver, also stepped behind the camera to direct a documentary with Samantha Leaf called The Heart Still Hums.

The premise follows, ‘five women as they fight for their children through the cycle of homelessness, drug addictions and neglect from their own parents,’ per IMDB.

The project won a variety of awards, including Best Documentary Short at the Palm Springs International ShortFest.

Along with Taylor Russell supporting Harry on Saturday, the Vienna concert turned out to be quite eventful. The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker was shockingly hit in the face by a flying object while he was on stage.

The star, who was struck by flowers when performing last month in June, was strolling on stage during the concert when the incident took place — which was caught on camera in a viral Twitter clip shared by Pop Crave.

Unfortunately, such occurrences seem to be taking place more frequently, with stars such as Bebe Rexha and Ava Max experiencing similar situations in recent weeks.

In the 10-second video, the former One Direction member was walking along the stage when suddenly a small object flew into frame and seemingly landed near his left eye.

Styles immediately winced and threw a hand to his face. Clearly feeling pain, Harry then bent over for a few seconds before standing upright and continuing to make his way down the stage, while still applying his hand to his face.
