From iconic pop queens to Step Up alumni, both stars have a track record of high-profile, glamorous romances. Here is a definitive look back at the little black books of Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz, Hollywood’s newly engaged IT couple.

Zoë Kravitz’s Romantic History

Kravitz has always maintained a distinctly cool, indie edge to her dating life, generally preferring long-term partnerships over brief flings.

  • Penn Badgley (2011–2013): Long before he was Joe Goldberg on You, Badgley dated Kravitz for two years. They lived together briefly in New York City, bonding over their mutual love of music before splitting amicably due to demanding filming schedules.
  • Karl Glusman (2016–2021): Kravitz met the Nocturnal Animals actor at a bar in 2016. They secretly wed in 2019 at her father Lenny Kravitz’s lavish Parisian estate. However, the marriage was short-lived; Kravitz filed for divorce in December 2020, finalizing it the following August.
  • Channing Tatum (2021–2024): The internet lost its mind when Kravitz was spotted riding on the pegs of Tatum’s BMX bike in Brooklyn in August 2021. The relationship blossomed after she cast him in her directorial debut, Blink Twice. They got engaged in October 2023, but shocked fans by quietly ending the relationship exactly a year later in October 2024.

Harry Styles’ Romantic History

Styles’ dating life has essentially served as the emotional blueprint for his last three studio albums. He famously tends to date older, highly established women in the entertainment industry.

  • Taylor Swift (2012–2013): The Central Park stroll seen around the world. Though it only lasted a few months, “Haylor” became pop culture mythology, heavily inspiring Swift’s 1989 album (specifically “Style” and “Out of the Woods”) and One Direction’s “Perfect.”
  • Kendall Jenner (2013–2016, On & Off): Styles and the supermodel had a recurring, paparazzi-heavy romance, most famously photographed getting cozy on a yacht in St. Barts in 2015. They remain close friends today.
  • Camille Rowe (2017–2018): The French-American model was the undisputed muse for his 2019 masterpiece, Fine Line. Styles even included a voicemail of her speaking French at the end of the devastating track “Cherry.”
  • Olivia Wilde (2021–2022): His most controversial relationship to date. Styles met the director on the set of Don’t Worry Darling. Their nearly two-year relationship was plagued by intense tabloid scrutiny, cast feuds, and internet vitriol before they mutually parted ways in late 2022.
  • Taylor Russell (2023–2024): Styles spent about a year quietly dating the acclaimed Bones and All actress. The incredibly chic pair were frequently spotted in London and Tokyo, but ultimately split in early 2024.
