A source tells PEOPLE that Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have taken the spotlight because they are "more serious than ever."
The singer, 28, and Wilde, 38, met on the set of their film Don't Worry Darling in September 2020. They first stepped out as a couple in January 2021 while attending a wedding together.
Since then, they've been "finding ways to make things work" amid the two's busy schedules. "What initially may have seemed like a parting, is now a committed relationship," the source spreads.
"Harry has been hit hard," says the insider. "Olivia has carried her romantic side a lot. He also has a lot of respect for her when it comes to work. He would love to work with her again. They both support each other's careers." "
Earlier this month, while chatting with Howard Stern for the latter's SiriusXM show, Styles was asked about Wilde and falling "in love" on a movie set. Instead, he praised Wilde's directing skills.
"Acting is very uncomfortable sometimes. I think you have to trust a lot," he said, adding, "It is a gift to be able to trust your director."
And Wilde equally praised her boyfriend's work ethic: When he debuted the Don't Worry Darling trailer at CinemaCon, he called the project "ambitious" and said that Styles' performance during his presentation was "really one of a kind." Revelation".
