Everything You Need to Know About Tess Ward, Harry Styles’s Rumoured New Girlfriend

Stop everything, everyone: Harry Styles may be off the market.

The British heartthrob and former One Direction member is rumoured to be dating Tess Ward, a 27-year-old food blogger based in London, after the pair was spotted driving around in Styles’s Audi last weekend. But before you break out the tissues to wipe your tears, just remember Harry’s message to us all: “Just stop your crying, it’s a sign of the times.” (Sorry, we had to.)

According to The Sun, the 23-year-old singer was introduced to Ward through mutual friends and has since been secretly enjoying a “string of dates” with his new flame. Harry’s friends supposedly say this partnership is far more than a fling and could very well become a long-term relationship.

“As soon as Harry met Tess there was an instant spark between them,” a source told The Sun. “They really bonded over their mutual love of quirky fashion and food—and things turned romantic quickly. They’ve been on a number of dates while Harry has been in London and he’s already introduced Tess to some of his close friends including his personal stylist Lou Teasdale.” (Note: This may explain Ward recently wearing a Gucci button-down pictured above that Harry has worn many times before.)

The source continued, “This really seems different to Harry’s past relationships as Harry genuinely is besotted with Tess and doesn’t want to risk messing this one up.”
