Harry Styles is understood to be single after amicably ending his relationship with actress Taylor Russell following a make-or-break trip to Japan.
The pair, who started dating 14-months ago, were last seen riding bikes together during an appearance in capital city Tokyo in April.
Weeks later Russell, 29, appeared at the star-studded New York Met Gala without Styles, 30, who remained on the other side of the Atlantic in London.
Friends have since claimed the couple opted to end the relationship after spending time together in the far east.
A source told The Sun: ‘Harry and Taylor have ended their relationship. They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart.

‘He’s been in America and she’s been in London. They made a lovely couple and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy.
‘Things have become strained recently though and they’ve taken some time out.’
The reported split comes after a ‘besotted’ Styles was said to be ready to start a family with the Canadian actress.
Speaking in March, a source told MailOnline: ‘Harry feels as if he has lived ten lifetimes already, but one thing is certain – his 30s will be nothing like his 20s.
‘He has experienced all the fame anyone could ever want. He is now ready for the next chapter.
‘He is in love with Taylor. He wants a family with her and this is the next phase of his life.’
Last June, the singer and actress were spotted together for the first time as they exited a museum in London, and at one point, also reportedly held hands, per TMZ.
When the two stars first crossed paths is still unclear, but both Harry and Taylor attended the 79th Venice International Film Festival last year in September 2022.
Russell, 29, appeared at the New York Met Gala in May without Styles, who remained on the other side of the Atlantic in London.

Styles notably was promoting Don’t Worry Darling, while Russell celebrated the premiere of Bones And All.
The Grammy winner previously dated Olivia Wilde from January 2021 until their split the following year in November 2022.
At the time of the break up, a source told People, ‘He’s still touring and is now going abroad. She is focusing on her kids and her work in L.A. It’s a very amicable decision,’ and added that, ‘They’re still very close friends.’
Styles was previously linked with a string of A-list women. from Taylor Swift, to Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, the French model Camille Rowe, Olivia Wilde and, most recently, Russell.
Tragedy came in 2020, when his former girlfriend and The X-Factor host, Caroline Flack, committed suicide.
Friends of Styles – who was 14 years Flack’s junior, and just 17 when the pair briefly dated in 2011 – said he had been devasted by their breakup.
Styles’s mother Anne Twist, who is thought to have remained close to Flack in the following years, shared a heartfelt poem on social media in the wake of her sudden death.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment.
