Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have spoken about getting engaged, but they’re not in a hurry,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly in the magazine’s current issue, which is now on newsstands. According to the source, although the “As It Was” singer, 28, “wants children of his own one day,” he isn’t aiming to “get married and have a family” anytime soon.
Instead, the pair are considering living together: “Harry and Olivia have been looking at property in London together and want to locate their own house in LA.”
Meanwhile, the former One Direction singer is satisfied with his current relationship with Wilde, 38, and her children, Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5, whom she has with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis. “Harry has always favored older ladies,” the person said.
After meeting on the set of their film, Don’t Worry Darling, Styles and the Booksmart director started dating. Though their affair made news when they were seen holding hands at his manager’s wedding in January 2021, the “Adore You” singer works hard to keep his personal life private.
Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde Have Discussed Getting Engaged But Aren’t in a Rush to Marry
“I’ve never openly discussed my life outside of work and felt that it’s helped me positively,” Styles told Rolling Stone earlier this month. “There will always be a story version, and I simply decided I wasn’t going to spend the time attempting to rectify or divert it in any manner.”
The Englishman said he often suffers from the concept that being close to him exposes his loved ones to internet criticism. “Imagine going on a second date with someone and saying, ‘OK, there’s this area of the [internet], and they’re going to say this, and it’s going to be very wild, and they’re going to be cruel, and it’s not real.’ But, in any case, what do you want to eat?'” he joked, adding that when it comes to celebrities, “other people blur the borders for you.”
“It’s a horrible sensation to feel like being near me means you’re at the mercy of a corner of Twitter or whatever,” Styles later remarked. All I wanted to do was sing. I didn’t want to be involved if it meant hurting individuals like that.”
Though Wilde has lavished praise on the “Watermelon Sugar” singer for his performance in Don’t Worry Darling, she recently told Variety that she also wants to “hide” their affair from public attention.
“I’m not going to say anything because I’ve never seen a relationship prosper by being dragged into the public arena,” she said earlier this month to the site. “We both go out of our way to safeguard our connection; I believe it combines experience and profound love.”
