The whirlwind romance between Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz shows no signs of slowing down, with the pair spotted departing New York City together on Thursday, fueling speculation that their connection is deepening by the day. Photographers captured the 31-year-old former One Direction heartthrob and the 36-year-old The Batman star at Newark Liberty International Airport, looking effortlessly casual and undeniably close as they prepared to board their flight.
Eyewitnesses described the duo as relaxed and affectionate, with Styles cracking jokes that left Kravitz in stitches. “They were holding hands and laughing together, like, very casual,” one observer shared with Page Six. “He was making some joke. He leaned his head back, looked up, and she was laughing.” The sighting comes hot on the heels of a string of public outings that have all but confirmed their budding relationship, including a cozy lunch with Kravitz’s rock legend father, Lenny Kravitz, earlier this week.
For the airport jaunt, Styles channeled his signature laid-back vibe in a crisp white button-up shirt tucked into classic blue denim jeans, topped off with a pair of sleek sunglasses and his tousled curls. Kravitz, ever the epitome of cool, opted for an all-black ensemble—a cozy oversized sweater paired with slim dark pants—her signature braids neatly secured with a headband and oversized shades shielding her eyes from the flashbulbs. The monochromatic look was a perfect match for Styles’ understated style, proving once again that this pair knows how to turn heads without trying too hard.
The couple’s timeline reads like a Hollywood script: Rumors first ignited in late August when blurry photos surfaced of them arm-in-arm during Kravitz’s press tour for Caught Stealing in Rome and London. By early September, clearer shots emerged of them holding hands and sharing iced coffees during a Brooklyn stroll, both dressed in coordinating navy tops, jeans, and shades. Mid-week, they stepped out for a date night in NYC, strolling arm-in-arm through the city streets. And just days ago, Styles met Lenny Kravitz over a trendy lunch in Manhattan, a move insiders say signals serious intent. “Harry wouldn’t have gone public with Zoë if it wasn’t anything,” a source close to the singer told OK! Magazine. “It’s very new and fresh, and they’re just having fun.”
This marks a fresh chapter for both stars following recent high-profile splits. Kravitz called off her engagement to Channing Tatum in October 2024 after two years together, while Styles parted ways with actress Taylor Russell in May 2024 after less than a year of dating. Now, with their schedules aligning—Styles wrapping up tour prep and Kravitz promoting her latest projects—the pair appears to be savoring every stolen moment. “Harry doesn’t label this stuff,” the insider added, hinting at a no-rush approach to what could blossom into something more substantial.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are buzzing about the latest photos, with posts from accounts like @HSHQITALIA sharing snaps of the duo at the airport, garnering thousands of views and comments like “They’re very hot together.” Others, including Daily Mail Celebrity, amplified the story, noting the “blossoming romance” that’s captivated the internet.
As Styles and Kravitz jet off to destinations unknown—perhaps Europe for more low-key adventures or back to their respective homes on opposite coasts—one thing’s clear: this “watermelon sugar high” is anything but fading. With their effortless chemistry and impeccable couple style, the world will be watching their next move. Stay tuned for more on this star-studded love story.
