HARRY’S MYSTERY WOMAN
In February, it was reported that Harry had moved on from his ex-girlfriend Olivia with someone else, although the mysterious lady was not identified.
As it turned out, Harry and actress Olivia, 38, went their separate ways in November last year after discovering they had “different priorities that kept them apart.”
Although the pair are still rumored to be “good friends,” it was reported in February that Harry had moved on with someone else.
A source told it Mirror at the time, “Harry is dating someone. He does everything he can to keep her identity quiet after the circus surrounding his relationship with Olivia.
“But his closest circles all know about the romance. Although it’s still early, things seem to be going well.’

EMILY REVEALS HER TWO-MUNTH ROMANCE
Weeks before she was spotted kissing Harry, Emily opened up about her two-month romance in a podcast released on March 9.
In the candid and extensive conversation about her love life, Emily let slip that she has been seeing Harry since early February.
She also shared her hopes that her new romance will be long lasting as she compared it to her previous relationships.
Speaking on the podcast two weeks before kissing Harry in Japan on March 25, she gushed sweetly about how “awesome” he is.
Speaking on the Going Mental podcast with Eileen Kelly, she said, “I just started dating someone I think I like, so that’s different. I was like, ‘He’s pretty awesome’.
“But if you had talked to me four weeks ago, absolutely. I’d see someone and then suddenly the way he’d walk would be like, ugh.
What am I looking for in a partner? I like someone who is very independent. I think that’s very important to me because I have a full life.
“I hope that dating someone who has more of their own life will prevent the problems I had before.”
Speaking of what she’s looking for in a partner, Emily said: ‘I’m attracted to masculinity, it drives me crazy. If you want to psychoanalyze me, my father was a hyper-masculine guy who was also a painter.
“I don’t have daddy issues, I have a good relationship with my dad. But my idea of masculinity, from when I was very young, was very traditional, playing sports and fixing everything around the house, but also making art and being very vulnerable.

And that’s super hard to find. It’s led me in some strange directions, but yes, I’m attracted to masculinity. I need an edge.
“You have to be funny, there have to be layers for you. I’m looking for good hearted people who are thoughtful and have good politics and are funny with similar interests.
‘People think I’m super feminine and I’m not. There’s a traditional straight game you play where you’re the dainty little girl.
“I’m not like that, but I don’t know if I’m wearing the pants. Some days I’m dominant and other days I want to be treated like a little baby and it depends where I am.
“I really want someone who is able to take care of me the way I’ve taken care of people.”
HARRY CALLS EMILY HIS CELEBRITY CRUSH

EMILY SPLITS FROM HUSBAND SEBASTIAN
Emily filed for divorce from her producer husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, the father of her two-year-old son Sylvester, in September.
It was revealed over the summer that the couple had split after four years amid claims that Sebastian was a “serial cheater.”
A source close to the star confirmed the split to PEOPLE at the time, saying that Emily is focusing on raising their son.
They said, ‘They recently broke up. It was Em’s decision. It goes well with her. She is strong and focused on her son. She loves being a mother.’
In September, Page Six then reported that Emily had filed for divorce in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
The outlet, which claims to have seen the documents, added that the divorce has been contested, meaning there are issues to be settled.

HARRY AND OLIVIA ARE GOING OUT
In November last year, it emerged that Harry and Olivia had split after two years together.
People magazine claimed that the pop star and actress “took a break” from their romance due to “different priorities keeping them apart.”
A source said: ‘He’s still touring and going abroad now. She focuses on her children and her work in LA. It’s a very kind decision. They’re still very good friends.’
A friend added to the post: “Right now they have different priorities that keep them apart. The public pressure on them was difficult. They’ve had ups and downs throughout the relationship.”
Despite their split, the two “have no bad blood between them,” according to Page Six.
“Harry didn’t dump Olivia, or vice versa. This is the longest relationship Harry has ever had, so they clearly have a special bond,” the insider said.
The source added, “They’re on a break. It’s impossible to be in a relationship when he’s on every continent next year and Olivia has her job and her kids. This is the right thing for both.’
Olivia was last seen supporting Harry when she attended his Nov. 15 concert at LA’s Kia Forum, where she was joined by her two children
She shares son Otis, eight, and daughter Daisy, six, with ex-fiance Jason Sudeikis.
Harry and Olivia famously starred together in the movie Don’t Worry Darling, with rumors of a feud between Olivia and co-star Florence Pugh circulating.
The pair first crossed paths in September 2020 when Harry was cast as actress Florence’s husband and replaced Shia LaBeouf in the film Don’t Worry Darling.
The singer who made his acting debut in the 2017 film Dunkirk signed on to Olivia’s film after impressing both director Olivia and star Florence.

Two months later, Olivia divorced Ted Lasso actor Jason, 47, after nine years, which reportedly left the actor ‘absolutely heartbroken’.
Having grown ‘close’ together on the set of Don’t Worry Darling, the Hollywood actress was pictured arriving at the former home of the One Direction heartthrob in LA in January with her luggage in hand and the two were spotted driving around California together in January 2021.
The pair then made their public debut when they were seen holding hands at Harry’s agent’s wedding at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California.
Olivia and Harry later split in November, shortly after the release of their film Don’t Worry Darling, which she directed with him as the lead.
