The Untold Story: 5 Shocking Details About The Olivia Wilde And Harry Styles Split And Where They Are Now In 2025
The relationship between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles, affectionately dubbed "Haylor" by some fans, was one of Hollywood’s most scrutinized romances in recent memory, igniting a firestorm of controversy that overshadowed their professional lives and the film that brought them together, Don't Worry Darling. Two years after their high-profile breakup in November 2022, the narrative has shifted dramatically, moving from a whirlwind romance to a complex study in post-split celebrity life, with both stars making major moves in their careers and love lives as of late 2024 and early 2025.
The initial excitement surrounding the director-actor pairing quickly curdled into "toxic negativity" from online communities, a phenomenon both stars addressed publicly. With new relationships and high-stakes career projects dominating their headlines, the full story of their amicable split, the drama they left behind, and their current, surprising status is finally coming into focus in 2025.

1. The Real Reason for the Breakup: Not Drama, But Distance
Contrary to the endless speculation fueled by the Don't Worry Darling drama, the primary factor that ended the relationship in November 2022 was far more mundane: logistics and geography.
The Challenge of Trans-Continental Careers
The former couple faced what many busy celebrity pairs do—a grueling schedule that made maintaining a life together nearly impossible.
- Harry’s Schedule: At the time of the split, Harry Styles was still deep into his monumental Love On Tour, which required him to be on the road across continents.
- Olivia’s Priorities: Olivia Wilde was primarily focused on her two children, Otis and Daisy, and her work in Los Angeles. The distance created an "insurmountable challenge" to their future.
Sources at the time confirmed the separation was "very amicable" and a "mutual decision," with no bad blood between them, effectively putting to rest rumors of an explosive finale.
2. The Lingering Shadow of the 'Don't Worry Darling' Controversy
While scheduling caused the split, the relationship will forever be framed by the tumultuous production and release of the 2022 film, Don't Worry Darling. The movie served as the catalyst for their romance (they met on set in September 2020) and the source of intense public scrutiny.
The Florence Pugh Feud and Shia LaBeouf Exit
The film was plagued by behind-the-scenes rumors, most notably the alleged feud between Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh, which became a viral sensation. This was compounded by the messy public exit of actor Shia LaBeouf, who was originally cast in the role that Styles eventually took. The controversy reached a fever pitch at the Venice Film Festival, creating a media circus that overshadowed the movie itself.
Addressing the 'Toxic Negativity'
Both Styles and Wilde eventually spoke out against the relentless online "cruelty" and "toxic negativity" directed at them, particularly Wilde. Wilde defended Styles, stating that the sheer volume of "cruelty" was the "antithesis of Harry, and everything he puts out there." Styles expressed his discomfort with the situation, noting, "I didn’t want to get into it if I was going to hurt people like that." This shared experience of public judgment became an unexpected, and negative, entity in their relationship.
3. Harry Styles’ Surprising New Relationship Status in 2025
Following the split from Wilde, Harry Styles entered a relationship with Canadian actress Taylor Russell, known for her roles in Bones and All and Lost in Space. This pairing began in June 2023 and was often characterized by its privacy, a stark contrast to his previous public romance.
The Taylor Russell Breakup
In a major update for 2024, reports confirmed that Harry Styles and Taylor Russell had also split in May 2024. The breakup occurred after a difficult period following a trip to Japan, with sources indicating they were taking time apart. This news places the global superstar back on the market in 2025, suggesting a renewed focus on his professional life.
4. Olivia Wilde’s Post-Split Directorial Ambitions and New Romance
Olivia Wilde has channeled her post-split energy into her directorial career, moving past the mixed reception of Don’t Worry Darling. She is reportedly developing a new comedy project where she will both direct and star. Perhaps more significantly for the industry, she is also involved in a secret project for Sony, rumored to be a film set within the expansive live-action Spider-Man universe, a massive career step.
The Dane DiLiegro Relationship
In a lesser-known but equally significant update, Wilde was reportedly in a relationship with actor and former professional basketball player Dane DiLiegro from 2024 to 2025. This relationship, which was kept largely out of the intense public spotlight that defined her time with Styles, shows the director moving on and prioritizing a more private romantic life, even if it has also reportedly concluded by 2025.
5. The Ongoing Custody Battle with Jason Sudeikis
A key entity that remains central to Olivia Wilde’s life is the complex and ongoing custody arrangement with her ex-fiancé, actor Jason Sudeikis, the father of her two children. The public serving of custody papers to Wilde on stage during a CinemaCon presentation in 2022 became a shocking, viral moment that further fueled the drama surrounding her personal life.
Despite the end of the romantic relationship with Styles, the legal and personal entanglement with Sudeikis over their family life continues to be a major factor shaping Wilde's decisions, particularly her need to be based in Los Angeles, which contributed to the geographical strain on her relationship with Styles. The emphasis on her children and work in LA remains her anchor, regardless of who she is dating.
What’s Next for the Former Power Couple?
As of 2025, both Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are single, highly successful, and focused on their individual careers. Styles is rumored to be preparing for his highly anticipated fourth solo album, following the massive success of "As It Was" and Harry's House. Wilde is cementing her status as a serious director with major studio projects on the horizon.
The story of "Haylor" ultimately serves as a cautionary tale about the intersection of celebrity, social media scrutiny, and the immense logistical challenges of two globe-trotting careers. While the romance is over, its cultural impact—and the lessons learned about navigating "toxic negativity"—continue to define their public narratives.
