Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde debunk nasty break-up rumours

For weeks, nasty rumours have trailed Harry Wilde and Olivia Wilde’s romance. The couple have now dispelled them.

“Holivia” is still hot and heavy.

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde packed on the public displays of affection during a date in New York City on Thursday night.

The couple passionately kissed and embraced each other in the streets of Manhattan, reported Page Six.

The pop superstar and the filmmaker and actor chose casual attire for their outing. Styles sported a white shirt, baggy blue jeans and a cream jacket, while Wilde wore loose denim, a white top and black hoodie.

Styles finished his 15-night run at Madison Square Garden Wednesday — with Wilde supporting him from the VIP area of the arena.

The pair’s steamy interactions the next night came weeks after they faced unsubstantiated – and at times, nasty – break-up rumours.

Fans fuelled speculation about a split due to their seeming distance at the Venice Film Festival, where they promoted their scandal-plagued film Don’t Worry Darling.

However, any tension was likely due to the ongoing drama between the movie's cast.

According to an insider who reportedly spent “significant time” on set for the film, Wilde — who starred in and directed the movie — had a “blowout argument” with her lead actor, Florence Pugh, in the middle of filming the psychological thriller.

Pugh plays opposite Styles in the film. She was purportedly unhappy with Wilde’s “frequent, unexplained absences” once she started dating the “Watermelon Sugar” singer.

“Olivia and Harry would just disappear,” the source told Vulture about Pugh’s frustrations leading up to the alleged fight in January 2021.

A source previously told Page Six that Pugh was not wild about Wilde and Styles’ romance.

“I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry,” a source claimed to Page Six in July, noting that the actor-cum-director called it quits with Jason Sudeikis while filming.

Things became worse when Shia LaBeouf rebutted Wilde’s claim that she fired him from Don’t Worry Darling in order to protect Pugh. LaBeouf claimed he quit the film due to scheduling conflicts and offered receipts to prove it, including video and screenshots of their conversations.

Wilde later doubled down on her claims, telling late-night host Stephen Colbert that LaBeouf gave her an “ultimatum” and she was “happy” she chose Pugh.

Despite the apparent discord, Warner Bros executives Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy told Page Six in a statement Friday, “We are so proud of the work that Olivia Wilde has done making this incredibly beautiful and entertaining film and look forward to collaborating with her again.

“The studio is very grateful and appreciative of the tireless support by Olivia in bringing her vision to life from production through release. Any suggestion of conflict between the studio and Olivia is simply not true.”

Shortly after, Pugh said in an Instagram post that she was “grateful” for the experience, sharing several photos that included Wilde even if the latter wasn’t explicitly mentioned.
