He was a really good boyfriend, very romantic and, yes, shy. He was good looking and obviously I found him very attractive. We were together for just under a year. Now we don't even talk any more. I haven't ever met any of the other One Direction boys.

Caroline Flack (2011)

Caroline Flack is one of Harry Styles' older girlfriends. The two dated in 2011, when Harry was 17, and Caroline was in her 30s. The actor met Flack on the talent show The X Factor, which she was co-hosting, during a competition with other members of One Direction.

Reflecting on their relationship, Flack wrote in her 2015 autobiography, Storm in a C Cup:

I already knew that he had a crush on me, he’d made it pretty obvious... He’d said it in magazines, and he’d said it to friends.

Their relationship faced public criticism due to the age gap. Flack added in her autobiography:

It was only when it became public knowledge that things turned sour.

The pair later parted ways. Flack tragically passed away in February 2020 at the age of 40.

Emily Atack (2012)

We had a short-lived thing that was just a bit of fun. Then we went off in our opposite directions. Harry and I had a laugh. It was brief, but fun, and then we moved on.
