Harry Styles is no stranger to reinvention, but his latest candid revelations have fans buzzing for reasons that go well beyond music. On February 25, 2026, the British pop sensation appeared on Brittany Broski’s popular web series "Royal Court," where he offered a rare glimpse into his personal life, his creative process, and some quirky habits that have set social media ablaze. With his fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., set for release on March 6, Styles’ openness comes at a pivotal moment in his career—just as speculation about his romantic life and artistic direction reaches a fever pitch.
During the lively interview, Styles dropped a surprise confession: he’s currently active on Raya, the exclusive, members-only dating app. But if you think he’s there hunting for romance, think again. Instead, Styles insists he’s using the app for a rather unexpected purpose—practicing his Italian. “Mostly just talking with friends, and I do a little bit of the app, too—Raya,” he explained, grinning as Broski and her team burst out laughing. He quickly clarified, “Just for grammar and stuff—it’s good to be seeing [the language] all the time. Just being immersed in it is the best way to learn.” According to Billboard, Styles has spent considerable time in Rome recently, and it seems he’s determined to make the most of the experience, linguistically and otherwise.
Of course, the pop star’s presence on Raya has fueled rumors about his love life, especially given his recent public appearances with actress Zoë Kravitz. The pair have been romantically linked since August 2025, when a fan account uploaded a video of them walking arm in arm through the streets of Rome. Since then, they’ve been spotted together in London, and in September 2025, they reportedly enjoyed lunch with Kravitz’s father, music legend Lenny Kravitz. “Everyone looked like they had a great time,” a source told People about the New York City meetup. “She’s also been introducing Harry to friends. This feels more than casual.”
Despite the mounting evidence of a blossoming relationship, neither Styles nor Kravitz has commented publicly on their status. Styles, in particular, has long maintained a protective stance over his private life. In a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, he explained, “I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively. There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way.” Still, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from churning. In January 2026, Page Six reported that Kravitz believes Styles is her “soulmate,” adding yet another layer of intrigue to their already high-profile connection.
While the world speculates about his romantic entanglements, Styles has kept his focus on music. His upcoming album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., has already created a stir among fans and critics alike. The lead single, “Aperture,” debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month, signaling that Styles’ signature blend of pop, soul, and disco is still very much in demand. According to Billboard, select fans have even been treated to exclusive listening parties in cities around the globe, offering a tantalizing preview of the full record ahead of its official release.
Styles’ creative process appears to be as eclectic as ever. During his chat with Broski, he took time to praise Spanish singer Rosalía’s November album, Lux. “I think it’s great. So brilliant,” he said, his admiration evident. “What is really inspiring to see when you see something like Lux is it’s so obviously for her. It’s so obviously to fulfill something that we get to watch.” The comment underscores Styles’ respect for artists who remain true to their vision—a quality his own fans have come to appreciate in his genre-bending work.
The "Royal Court" episode also saw Styles open up about some of his more unexpected talents and regrets. When asked about his hidden abilities, he confessed, “No, I eat, like, remarkable amounts of yogurt… it shocks my friends.” The revelation, delivered with typical self-deprecating humor, quickly became a talking point among fans. Styles also reflected on his fashion choices from the 2010s, admitting, “I think I wore, like, really, really tight jeans. They were tighter than my legs were. So now, I’d be like, ‘Just wear a size bigger—or three sizes bigger.’”
But the surprises didn’t stop there. Styles, who has run two marathons, was asked whether he’d ever had to deal with the infamous runner’s dilemma of needing to pee mid-race. His answer was as candid as it was amusing: “Do you know what? I actually didn’t need to pee really either of them. Like, I had a lot of people tell me that I should, that I was going to pee on myself and that I should like practice peeing on myself.” He added with a laugh, “I’ve done it in the past but not while running.” According to ABC Audio, this lighthearted admission further endeared him to listeners, who appreciate his willingness to share the less glamorous aspects of his life.
For all his openness in recent interviews, Styles remains careful about drawing a line between his public persona and private affairs. His approach has won him both admirers and critics. Some fans appreciate his discretion, seeing it as a way to protect himself and those close to him from the relentless glare of celebrity culture. Others, inevitably, hunger for more details—especially when it comes to high-profile relationships like the one with Kravitz.
As the release date for Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. approaches, anticipation continues to build. Styles’ ability to balance vulnerability and mystery, humor and artistry, has kept him at the forefront of pop culture for over a decade. Whether he’s practicing Italian on a dating app, running marathons, or reflecting on his sartorial missteps, he manages to keep audiences guessing—and coming back for more.
With new music on the horizon and his personal life making headlines, Harry Styles is once again proving that he knows how to keep things interesting. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely as March 6 draws near, eager to see what surprises the ever-evolving artist has in store next.
