The streets of Brooklyn became the epicenter of celebrity romance buzz on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, when pop sensation Harry Styles and actress-director Zoë Kravitz were spotted holding hands, igniting a frenzy among fans who are now convinced the pair is Hollywood’s newest “It” couple. The sighting, captured in photos obtained by PEOPLE, has sent social media into a tailspin, with fans declaring the rumored romance “official.”
The duo, both known for their effortless style and magnetic charisma, was seen strolling through Williamsburg around 2:30 p.m., laughing and appearing “very comfortable” together, according to an eyewitness who spoke to Page Six. Kravitz, 36, rocked a sleek all-black outfit, while Styles, 31, opted for his signature blue denim jacket, tan pants, and oversized shades, carrying a black leather bag. The pair’s casual yet chic vibe was epitomized when they reportedly popped into local vintage boutique SORBARA’S for some shopping, a move that Harper’s Bazaar dubbed “couple goals.”
“They were holding hands and laughing together, like, very casual,” the eyewitness shared. “He was making some joke. He leaned his head back, looked up, and she was laughing. It’s clear they’re definitely a couple.” The intimate moment follows a string of cozy appearances that have fueled speculation over the past month, including a viral video of the pair walking arm-in-arm in Rome on August 24 and a reported kiss at Rita’s in London on August 19 after a promotional event for Kravitz’s new film, Caught Stealing.
Fans on X have been quick to celebrate the budding romance, with one user posting, “THEY WERE LEGIT HOLDING HANDS I’M NOT OKAYYYYY,” while another shared a clip of the pair, noting they were “holding hands the entire time.” The online excitement has only amplified the narrative that Styles and Kravitz are more than just friends, with some calling them “the best dressed friends with benefits we’ve seen,” as Marie Claire Australia put it.
However, not everyone is ready to label the relationship. Sources close to the pair told TMZ that Styles and Kravitz are keeping things “cool and casual,” describing their connection as a “friends with benefits” arrangement rather than a serious romance. “They’re just having fun and are not exclusive in any way,” the insider revealed, emphasizing that the A-listers haven’t put a label on their “situationship.” Similarly, a source speaking to Us Weekly noted that while the pair has “a lot of chemistry” and enjoys each other’s company, their connection is “very new” and “not serious,” with Kravitz prioritizing her single life after her split from Channing Tatum in October 2024.
This isn’t the first time Styles and Kravitz have crossed paths romantically in the public eye. Their European escapades began making headlines last month when they were spotted in Rome, with Kravitz wrapping her arm around Styles in a video shared by a fan account on X. Days later, The Sun reported that the pair was “snogging like teenagers” at Rita’s in London, with an insider calling them a “gorgeous couple” who “didn’t seem to care if anyone saw them.” The London sighting came during Kravitz’s press tour for Caught Stealing, which she’s been promoting alongside co-star Austin Butler, though sources have clarified that she and Butler are “just friends” despite earlier rumors.
Both stars have storied romantic histories that add intrigue to their pairing. Kravitz was previously engaged to Tatum, whom she met while directing him in her 2024 thriller Blink Twice. The couple called it quits after a year, with Kravitz telling Elle in February 2025 that they remain on good terms, saying, “I love this thing that we made together and I care for him very much.” She was also briefly linked to Noah Centineo earlier this year, spotted together at events in February and May. Styles, meanwhile, parted ways with actress Taylor Russell in May 2024 after less than a year of dating and was previously linked to Olivia Wilde and Emily Ratajkowski. Despite his high-profile romances, Styles has long emphasized privacy, telling Rolling Stone in 2022, “I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively.”
For now, neither Styles nor Kravitz has publicly commented on their relationship status, leaving fans to dissect every candid photo and eyewitness account. The Brooklyn outing, however, has only intensified the buzz, with Cosmopolitan noting that the pair’s chemistry projects “an effortless narrative of modern glamor mixed with subcultural cool.” Whether they’re just having fun or building something more, one thing is certain: Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz have Brooklyn—and the internet—going wild.
