Harry Styles and Zöe Kravitz were photographed engaging in overt displays of affection as they walked through Rome on Friday, including moments in which each appeared to touch the other's buttocks.
The images, published by Page Six, show the pair holding hands and chatting as they moved through a sunny area of the city. Kravitz, 36, wore a black lace-trimmed slip dress, red ballerina flats, sunglasses and carried a straw handbag. Styles, 31, was dressed in jeans, a white T‑shirt and sneakers, carrying a denim jacket over his shoulder and wearing sunglasses.
Representatives for Styles and Kravitz did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The photos follow other recent public sightings of the two stars; Page Six reported they were seen arriving at New York’s JFK Airport on Thursday and were first linked in August after a video of them together in Rome circulated online.
Additional images from the outing show the couple continuing to walk together and keeping a low profile in sunglasses as they left the area.
The pairing has drawn attention since earlier this year. Page Six and other outlets reported sightings in New York in recent weeks, and a tabloid source said the pair were observed together in London in August. A Page Six source who observed the pair in Brooklyn earlier in September said they were holding hands and appeared to be enjoying each other’s company.
People close to Styles have previously said he prefers to keep his private life low-key. A friend quoted by Page Six said he wants to live as normally as possible despite fame, saying he would "walk around Brooklyn all day incognito" if he could. Other unnamed sources described the apparent relationship as new and lighthearted, and one Hollywood insider told Page Six that the pair "have gone from 0 to 60." The insider added that Styles "doesn't label this stuff," while another source said he seemed unusually happy.
The two both have ongoing professional commitments: Styles continues his music and touring career, and Kravitz has continued acting, including the recently released film "Blink Twice." Public appearances and photographs have increasingly linked the two since August, though neither has issued a public statement confirming a relationship.
Photographs and eyewitness accounts have been the primary source of reporting on the pair’s interactions. Media outlets will likely continue to track any developments as the two travel and make further public appearances.
