Olivia Wilde still holds Harry Styles in high regard, as evidenced by her recent show of support for him. The director of “Booksmart,” who dated the “As It Was” singer for almost two years before they split in November 2022, “liked” a video posted by Harry’s sister Gemma Styles of him performing at the Love on Tour concert in London on Wednesday.
Olivia Wilde subtly supports Harry Styles 7 months after breakup
Gemma captioned the video, “Good GRIEF this show is fun — so proud of you @harrystyles and what a privilege to see you experience this much joy doing what you love ♥️ #LOT #wembleynight2.” The clip showed Harry singing his solo song “Treat People With Kindness” and One Direction’s hits “Best Song Ever” and “What Makes You Beautiful” to a sea of fans. Harry also “liked” his sister’s post, and fans commented on how lovely it was to see his family being so supportive.
Wilde’s public display of support suggested that she and Harry ended their relationship amicably. They were first linked in January 2021 when they were spotted holding hands at his manager’s wedding, and their breakup was announced by sources close to them in November 2022. However, they remained on good terms and were “still very close friends,” according to insiders. The sources said that distance played a role in their split, as Harry was on tour, and Wilde had her job and two kids to take care of.
Their split might have been made worse by the drama surrounding their movie, “Don’t Worry Darling,” which Wilde directed and Harry starred in. Rumors of a feud between Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh, as well as Shia LaBeouf’s departure from the project, caused a stir. Wilde claimed that she had fired LaBeouf, who had been previously accused of abuse and sought treatment in early 2021. However, the “Transformers” actor insisted that he quit. A leaked video of Wilde pleading with LaBeouf to stay only added to the controversy.
While Wilde has been embroiled in a custody battle with her ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis over their two kids, Harry has been seen with other women, most recently with model Emily Ratajkowski in Tokyo. There have also been rumors that he is getting “close” with Candice Swanepoel. Despite their breakup, Wilde and Harry seem to have a special bond that remains intact.
She still adores him.
Olivia Wilde continues to show support for her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles seven months after their breakup.
The “Booksmart” director, 39, “liked” an Instagram video posted by Styles’ sister of the “As It Was” singer performing his Love on Tour concert in London on Wednesday.
“Good GRIEF this show is fun — so proud of you @harrystyles and what a privilege to see you experience this much joy doing what you love ♥️ #LOT #wembleynight2,” Gemma Styles captioned her post.
In the clip, Harry belted out a medley of his solo song “Treat People With Kindness” and his former band One Direction’s hits “Best Song Ever” and “What Makes You Beautiful” as a sea of fans sang along.
The Grammy winner, 29, also “liked” his 32-year-old sister’s video, and several of his fans commented about how nice it was to see his family being so supportive.
“Talk about POWER SIBLINGS 💥❤️,” one person wrote.
“THIS IS ADORABLE. I love the fact that yall support him sm. It’s really cute,” a second commented.
“Thanks for sharing your brother with the world ❤️,” a third fan added.
Wilde’s public gesture seemed to confirm the former couple’s relationship ended amicably.
TheFantasyTimes broke the news that Harry and the “House” alum were dating in January 2021 after they were photographed holding hands at his manager’s wedding.
But they broke up in November 2022 after nearly two years together.
Sources told TheFantasyTimes exclusively at the time that Harry and Wilde called it quits on good terms and were “still very close friends.”
“There is no bad blood between them. Harry didn’t dump Olivia or vice versa,” one source said. “This is the longest relationship Harry’s ever had, so clearly they have a special bond.”
The insider also shared that distance played a role in the split.
“It’s impossible to have a relationship when he’s in every continent [on tour] and Olivia has her job and her kids,” the source explained. “This is the right thing for both of them.”
But the duo’s demise may have been exacerbated by the chaos surrounding their 2022 movie, “Don’t Worry Darling,” which Wilde directed and Harry starred in.
Drama plagued the film amid rumors that Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh were feuding, and many speculated that the fallout had to do with Shia LaBeouf’s departure from the project.
LaBeouf’s role was notably taken over by Harry, who started dating Wilde shortly after filming began.
Wilde claimed she had fired LaBeouf; however, the “Transformers” actor — who was previously accused of abuse and sought treatment in early 2021 — maintained that he quit.

Adding fuel to the fire, a leaked video showed Wilde begging LaBeouf, 37, to stay on.
As “Don’t Worry Darling” continued to make headlines for its off-screen spectacle, Wilde has been battling it out with her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, for custody of their two kids: Otis, 8, and Daisy, 6.
Meanwhile, Harry made it clear that he had moved on from Wilde when he was spotted sloppily making out with Emily Ratajkowski in Tokyo in March.
More recently, rumors swirled last month that the former boy band member was getting “close” with Candice Swanepoel.
