Olivia Wilde, 42, finally breaks her silence on ‘loveliest’ romance with Harry Styles,
Olivia Wilde has finally broken her silence on romance with Harry Styles as she admitted ‘it really upset people’.
Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, Olivia, 42, said: ‘It really did upset people! People were f***ing pissed!
‘We had the loveliest relationship! Like, so sweet and so beautiful. I think that we existed in like this little bubble and the judgment never really got into that bubble, which was a miracle and a real testament to us making that happen.’
Harry and Olivia dated for nearly two years, from late 2020 to November 2022.
The pair connected on the set of the film Don’t Worry Darling in September 2020 and were first seen publicly as a couple in January 2021.
Olivia directed the movie three years ago and said: ‘I felt like I needed to get quiet and needed to hear myself again.

‘It was also very strange to see complete fiction traded as fact. My own attempt to be strong and to rise above it came across as inauthentic because people were like “you must be hurting, why are you pretending to not be hurting?”
‘I’m a different person than I was three years ago.’
Olivia and Harry’s amicable split was thought to be down to the pressures of his global touring and Wilde’s focus on her children in Los Angeles.
She has two children with Ted Lasso star, Jason Sudeikis, son Otis Alexander, 12, and daughter, Daisy Josephine, 9.
Harry’s new song Paint by Numbers is considered to be a break-up song about Olivia and her children.
The lyrics go ‘You’re the luckiest, oh, the irony/ Holding the weight of the American children whose hearts you break/ Was it a tragedy when you told her/ ‘I’m not even thirty-three?’
Many believe the split had to do with him not being ready to make that big step as a family.
Harry is now engaged to actress Zoe Kravitz, while Olivia was last seen indulging in a PDA with Ellie Goulding’s ex-husband Caspar Jopling.
