Harry Styles rings in his 30th birthday with a chilly swim in Hampstead Heath before heading out with pals to celebrate milestone

Harry Styles celebrated his 30th birthday on Thursday morning with a dip in cold water as he kicked off his birthday celebration.

The singer was pictured leaving Hampstead Heath pond with friends as they headed out to continue the festivities.

Harry dressed warmly after the cold swim in a black tracksuit and a navy blue raincoat.

The former One Direction star eschewed his eclectic stage style for his 30s and instead cut a demure figure, wearing a baseball cap and glasses.

Harry slung an £85 Pleasing tote bag over his shoulder as he left the lake with his two male friends.

Harry is no stranger to cold water swimming and was photographed taking a dip in Hampstead Heath with his girlfriend Taylor Russell last month.

Harry and Taylor have been publicly dating since August 2023, but they are believed to have been together for several months before that.

They first became romantically involved after being spotted on an art gallery date in London last June and recently enjoying a holiday in the Caribbean.

Harry has spent half his life in the public eye after being thrust into the spotlight at the age of 16 following an X Factor audition.

But the guys from One Direction; Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik did not post on their respective social media to mark the occasion.

Harry, who has dated a string of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner and Olivia Wilde, has yet to receive any birthday messages from his famous exes online.

And while it’s been radio silence for the 1D boys and exes so far, Harry’s legions of fans took to Twitter and Instagram to wish him a happy birthday.

The cold water swim is a bit different than how Harry achieved his 29th last year during his performance at Acrisure Arena in Greater Palm Springs.

The performance was the final night of the North American leg of his tour.

Harry’s low-key outing comes after he spent the last day of his 20s riding around London on an electric rental bike on Wednesday.

Harry recently returned to Britain after a romantic getaway in the Caribbean with Taylor.

The singer and Taylor were photographed this week in what was the first time he was seen since he was left shaken by stalker Myra Carvalho, who was accused of causing him serious harm or distress.

He had only just returned from holiday, when it is alleged he targeted the woman, 35, in north London.

Myra appeared at Highbury Corner District Court last Tuesday, where according to… The sunit was heard that she ‘took a course of conduct – namely harassment – ​​which amounted to stalking causing serious alarm or distress’.

The publication said the complaint added that her alleged actions had a “substantial adverse effect” on Harry’s “usual daily activities.”

As part of the charge, she was also told that she “knew, or should have known, that your conduct would cause alarm or distress.”

Myra was remanded in custody and will appear at Harrow Crown Court in London on February 20.

A source said: ‘Harry was really shocked. He had spent the beginning of the month in Anguilla with Taylor and James Corden and had a great vacation.

“This happened not long after he came back. Harry just wants to carry on, but this is worrying.’
