Zoe Kravitz has never been a stranger to public fascination, but her latest headline-making connection with Harry Styles has officially gotten a label...sort of.
After fans flooded social media with speculation, TMZ reported that insiders say the two aren’t a couple—they’re simply keeping things casual as "friends with benefits."
The chatter started when Kravitz and Styles were seen strolling through Rome in late August. A fan caught the moment on video, capturing the actress in a sundress and baseball cap while the former One Direction star kept it laid-back in sunglasses and a button-up shirt.
The clip quickly spread online, with one fan gushing, “Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz… two of the hottest people in the world, thank you God!” Within hours, the internet was buzzing about a possible romance.
Despite the frenzy, those close to the pair insist the connection isn’t that deep. According to TMZ, they’re spending time together but haven’t defined the relationship or made it exclusive.
While they’ve been seen holding hands on daytime outings, there’s no expectation of Styles showing up as Kravitz’s date to major events anytime soon.
The timing of their link-up has only added to the intrigue. Kravitz, 36, recently promoted her latest film, Caught Stealing, walking the New York premiere red carpet solo.
Styles, 31, has quietly returned to the studio after a three-year break, sparking anticipation among his fan base about new music. Their professional momentum, combined with public sightings, has only heightened curiosity around them.
Both stars have a track record of high-profile relationships. Kravitz was previously married to actor Karl Glusman, later linked to Channing Tatum, and dated Penn Badgley earlier in her career.
Styles, meanwhile, has been romantically connected to Olivia Wilde, Taylor Russell, Kendall Jenner, and, famously, Taylor Swift.
