Harry Styles and Taylor Russell are over after dating for about 14 months. We didn’t cover them that much over here, mostly because I felt sorry for Taylor as she dealt with an onslaught of negativity from Harry’s fans. I never wanted to add to the drama, plus Taylor never seemed to want to be known as “Harry Styles’ girlfriend.” She’s an up-and-coming actress in her own right, even if I could not get through Bones & All (creepy-ass cannibal movie). Well, it looks like Harry and Taylor called it quits a few weeks after a “make or break” trip to Japan. As one does to test one’s relationship – go to Japan and see if everything falls to sh-t, I guess.

Harry Styles has split from his actress girlfriend Taylor Russell after 14 months. The singer, 30, and Netflix’s Lost in Space star Taylor broke up after a trip to Japan in April, insiders said. They were seen together riding the subway in Tokyo. But two weeks ago Canadian Taylor, in a nude moulded corset and silk skirt, was snapped without him at the Met Gala in New York.

A pal said: “Harry and Taylor have ended their relationship. They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart. He’s been in America and she’s been in London. They made a lovely couple and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy. Things have become strained recently though and they’ve taken some time out.”

The Sun revealed that ex-One Direction star Harry was dating Taylor, 29, last year after they were first seen together in March. They went public when Taylor was spotted in the VIP section at one of Harry’s Love On Tour gigs in Vienna, Austria, in July.

Harry had publicly supported Taylor when she was appearing in The Effect, at the National Theatre.

People Magazine confirmed the Sun’s story, so it’s really over. Harry has seemingly gotten wise to the fact that his presence in a lady’s life brings nothing but drama, so this was one of his least scandalous and “tabloidy” relationships in recent memory. Think of it a palate cleanser after the Olivia Wilde mess. I hope Taylor moves on effortlessly and continues to do badass work. Harry, as always, will land on his feet. He might even circle back. Or maybe they’ll both enjoy separate hot girl summers.
