Olivia Wilde speaks for the first time about her romance with Harry Styles: “It was lovely”
The actress visited the podcast "Call Her Daddy" and recalled the media pressure she experienced in 2021 due to her romance with the former member of "One Direction"
Three years after putting an end to her story with Harry Styles, actress Olivia Wilde spoke like never before about the relationship she had with the singer in 2021, as well as the media pressure she experienced as a result of said romance.
It was during her participation in the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, the American director fondly remembered her time with the British, arguing that the narrative that was created in the media was very far from reality.
"It really made people angry! People were really furious," said the 42-year-old celebrity, recalling the public's reaction when her relationship with the singer was confirmed.
During the interview, Olivia Wilde reflected on the reactions that were generated at the time. According to his story, the only logical explanation he could find for the anger he unleashed in front of the audience was the 10-year age difference between the two.
And although there was much speculation on social media about their romance, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles lived a relationship straight out of a fairy tale, as the artist declared to Alex Cooper: "We had the most charming relationship. So sweet, so beautiful and really very domestic," she commented.
About their time together, the Hollywood star added: "It's almost as if our happiness had infuriated them (...) I went to their shows and danced, and people said: 'Oh, that's great. How dare you dance and smile?'"
In this sense, the director of "Don't Worry Darling" confessed that the secret to ignoring speculation was communication: "I think we existed within a small bubble and that external judgment never managed to enter that bubble. It was a miracle and a true testimony that we were able to make it possible," she indicated.
Although the relationship ended, Olivia Wilde appreciates the time she shared with Harry Styles and applauded the way he handles fame, as well as the bittersweet moments it brings.
"He carries it with grace. I think it is an enormous responsibility that all those stars have to bear and it is impossible," he concluded.
