Olivia Dean finally addresses romance speculations with Harry Styles

Olivia Dean has finally broken her long-held silence on the romance rumours that surfaced with Harry Styles in late summer of 2024.

While candidly speaking to ELLE UK, the 26-year-old actress spilled the beans on the romantic association with the former One Direction bandmate, stressing that she "doesn’t need to be in a relationship to survive."

"I'm very comfortable by myself and don't feel like I need to be in a relationship to survive; it should be additional as opposed to filling an absence," said Dean.

The recent statement of the Danger songstress has put an end to the rumours, dismissing the romance buzz with Styles.

In addition, Dean shared that she has become "protective" of herself in recent years and has set new boundaries for herself.

"I've become quite protective. It's a really beautiful skill to love openly and easily but sometimes it can get you into trouble," the Dive hitmaker stated.

"I don't take any s*** from people. Definitely not as much as I would have done when I was younger. I know my worth and how I deserve to be loved. I have no time for b*******t," she continued.

For the unversed, romance speculations of Olivia Dean and Harry Styles ignited last year after they were photographed grabbing a burger together at Five Guys in London.
