Harry Styles, sharing his sexuality publicly is an «outdated» concept. The 28-year-old singer covers the June issue of Better Homes & Gardens, and, in the accompanying interview, reveals why he hesitates to label himself publicly. «I’ve been really open with it with my friends, but that’s my personal experience; it’s mine,» he explains. «The whole point of where we should be heading, which is toward accepting everybody and being more open, is that it doesn’t matter, and it’s about not having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you’re checking.»Styles' stance is one he's taken before.
In 2019, while addressing speculation that he's bisexual, Styles told , «It's not a case of: I'm not telling you cause I don't want to tell you.
It's not: Ooh, this is mine and it's not yours. It's: who cares? Does that make sense? It's just: who cares?»As of late, Styles has been dating Olivia Wilde.
The pair was first romantically linked in January 2021, after Styles signed on to act in the upcoming film, , which Wilde is directing.While he may not like to discuss the particulars of his sexuality or romantic partners publicly, Styles is no longer ashamed of his sex life, a feeling he dealt with amid his One Direction fame.«For a long time, it felt like the only thing that was mine was my sex life.
