Their couple had evolved for two years away from prying eyes.
If Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles had never publicly "officialized" their idyll, carefully playing the distance on the red carpets, the tabloids had taken care of doing it, with stolen photos.
It is also once again between their columns that the rumors of a break have been spreading for several days.
The 38-year-old director and the singer, ten years her junior, would have chosen to "take
a break
".
While some are now trying to find out the reasons for this separation, several tracks are emerging.
Age difference ?
Infidelity?
Tiredness?
Surely a mixture of all of these.

Fuck off camera
The first signs of a conflict appeared last September, during the 79th edition of the Venice Film Festival.
Remember: Olivia Wilde had climbed the steps of the
red carpet
accompanied by her actors, on the occasion of the presentation of her horror thriller
Don't Worry Darling
, with Harry Styles at the top of the bill.
Unsurprisingly, a distance of several meters separated them.
Between them, no glance exchanged, even an almost overplayed coldness.
In question: a kiss exchanged during filming between the interpreter of
As it Was
and his partner in the film, Florence Pugh.
"Harry and Florence had a chemistry that actually translated incredibly well on screen," a source told The
Sun.
.
One night, they even exchanged a kiss.
A flirtation without consequences, which would have occurred before Harry Styles began a relationship with the director.
But a former nanny employed by Olivia Wilde, who cared for her children with actor Jason Sudeikis, said the actors did have a real relationship.
Romance which would have ended once the meeting between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles on the set.
This amorous imbroglio, a veritable soap opera, would have fueled the jealousy of Florence Pugh, making the filming suffocating.
Faced with the gossip that surrounded the film when it was released and probably fueled tensions, the
Don't Worry Darling
team was even forced to issue a press release, signed by nearly 40 staff members, and relayed by
Deadline
.

"We've avoided addressing the nonsensical gossip surrounding the film we're so proud of, but now feel the need to correct this anonymous 'source' cited in a recent article."
And to add a little further: "All allegations of unprofessional behavior that took place on the set of
Don't Worry Darling
are completely false".

Bailiff and childcare
In addition, Olivia Wilde had to manage, throughout the production of the feature film, her conflicting relationship with Jason Sudeikis.
The one who has played in several successful series, such as
Vinyl
or
Dr. House
, had separated from the actor, with whom she had been engaged for eight years, in November 2020. Together, they had two children: Otis, 6 years old, and Daisy, 4 years old.

Since then, the two former partners have been at war for the custody of the latter.
In April 2022, Olivia Wilde even had to face a very embarrassing scene, during the presentation of
Don't Worry Darling
at CinemaCon, in Las Vegas.
The director had been interrupted in the middle of the speech by an assistant who had come to give her legal documents from a bailiff, in an envelope bearing the inscription "Personal and confidential".
A scene experienced for the director as a “real aggression”, she had declared, according to the
Daily Mail
.
Would these tensions and this heavy atmosphere have interfered with his relationship with Harry Styles, a popular singer of only 28 years old?

“They remain friends”
If nothing confirms it for the moment, the
Daily Mail
advances this possible theory.
"The significant age gap between the stars may have contributed to their separation, as it was a constant topic of discussion for fans," he says.
As well as being 10 years older than Harry, Olivia also shares two children with her ex, which may have presented additional challenges for her new partner.
However, several sources claim that the couple would have left on good terms and that there would be no drama on the horizon.
“They are still good friends.
But right now, Harry is on tour and Olivia is focused on her kids and her job.
Their priorities are different,” a source
told People
.
Maybe they will meet on the set of a new movie.
