Harry Styles spotted kissing Zoe Kravtiz at London restaurant as 1D star & Catwoman actress enjoy string of dates

SHE’S been jetting across Europe to snog heartthrob Harry Styles, but Zoë Kravitz is no stranger to a famous fling. 

The Sun revealed today that the actress and filmmaker has been on a string of dates with the ex-One Direction star , ever since they were spotted getting intimate last Tuesday at Rita’s Bistro in Soho London.

They were then caught enjoying some downtime by a fan in Rome, who filmed the couple walking arm-in-arm down a cobbled street in the Italian capital. 

However, Harry Styles is just the latest in a long line of stars that fellow musician Zoë, who is the daughter of rock star Lenny Kravitz, has been linked with. 

Though she’s often kept her love life under wraps, she’s had no less than two engagements and one marriage in recent years, and has been breaking hearts in Hollywood since she was 19.

And though 31-year old Harry’s three Grammy awards are without a doubt impressive, hopefully he won’t be comparing himself too much to the academy-award nominee she was once getting cosy with. 

In fact, he’s not even the artist with the highest number of Grammys she’s ever been with.

For now though, the pair are certainly making the most of each other’s company. 

A source who spotted them said of their date at Rita’s: “Harry and Zoë were tucked away in a corner…and were snogging like teenagers. 

“They seemed really into each other and didn’t seem to care if anyone saw them kissing.”

“They walked in together, it was definitely a date. They make a gorgeous couple.”

It’s then thought that Zoë, 36, flew in to join Harry in Italy after she’d finished attending the premiere for her latest film, Caught Stealing, in Paris.

Another source added: “This is very early days, there are no labels. They’re having a lot of fun together.”

Harry himself has been single since splitting from Canadian actress Taylor Russell back in May, though in June he was spotted kissing producer Ella Kenny in a VIP bar in Glastonbury. 

But Zoë? Join us as we take a dive into her dating and romance history.

Shortly before her romance with Harry Styles was confirmed, rumours were swirling that Zoë was dating her Caught Stealing co-star Austin Butler .

It was a photo of them kissing back in October that sparked speculation – and in late July, they also attended an immersive art exhibition in New York together. 

Some even wondered if they were engaging in a “showmance”, letting the rumours simmer to help the film’s publicity. 

Before long, the truth quickly emerged. That snog snap was from the film set – and multiple sources close to the pair confirmed that the actors were “just friends” and “not dating like some [were] implying”. 

Channing Tatum

The couple’s engagement ended up being called off

The rumours of a relationship with Austin Butler weren’t helped by the fact that Zoë’s engagement with actor Channing Tatum had recently been called off after three years of dating.

The pair first bonded back in 2021 when she headhunted Tatum for her directorial debut Blink Twice, originally titled Pussy Island, and were then spotted biking around NYC – sending fans into a frenzy.

August that year saw their romance confirmed. A source told Us Weekly: “Things turned romantic fast. 

Fans had also noticed that Tatum had followed a host of Zoë Kravitz fan accounts on Instagram. 

“I have no chill,” he later admitted to Vanity Fair. “I was just seeing what she was up to…also I didn’t know anyone would know.”

I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together

Zoë Kravitz

Fast forward to October 2023, the couple attended Kendall Jennner’s Halloween Party in costumes from the film Rosemary’s Baby – but it’s the glitzy engagement ring on her finger that really caught people’s attention. 

All seemed well, with Zoë’s dad Lenny telling Radio 2 in May 2024 that the wedding was planned for next year – until their engagement came to an abrupt end that October.

However, a source told Page Six that the pair were still “in touch” and that there was no “bad blood”, adding: “There was no dramatic falling out between Channing and Zoë. They really just grew apart and decided it was best for them to go their separate ways.”

She later told Elle magazine: “I care for him very much…I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together.”

The pair were married for less than a year

Before Zoë’s engagement to Channing Tatum was her marriage to actor Karl Glusman, who she met via a mutual friend in a bar back in 2016.

“My friend knew that I wanted to meet someone – not even to get serious, I think just to get laid, to be completely honest with you – and he brought Karl. I instantly felt something, then he turned around and started talking to the blonde girl next to him, and I was like, ‘Wait, what?’,” she told British Vogue.

I think I was a little drunk. He nailed it

Zoë Kravitz

Two years down the line and they were engaged. Talking to Rolling Stone about their proposal, she recalled how he popped the question after setting the scene with some candles and playing Nina Simone in their home.

“I was in sweatpants,” she said. “I think I was a little drunk. He nailed it. And I love that it wasn’t this elaborate plan in Paris. It was at home, in sweatpants.”

Though the engagement was lowkey, the wedding itself in June 2019 certainly wasn’t, with a star-studded affair at her dad’s Paris house – but it wasn’t to last long, and Zoë filed for divorce in December 2020.

It was her own journey of self-discovery that ultimately brought it to an end, she later told GQ, adding: “It’s a hard question to ask yourself: ‘Maybe I don’t want the thing that I’m supposed to want, a marriage, children, any of it. I don’t know if I want that at all.’ That’s an uncomfortable question.”

George Lewis Jr, also known as Twin Shadow, and Zoë were linked after he toured with Zoë’s band LOLAWOLF back in 2015.

They even performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers together and enjoyed a good few months of dating.

Though she’s known to love musicians, it wasn’t to be – and they ended up going their separate ways.

Drake

Rumours that romance was blossoming between Zoë and the Canadian rapper Drake came in 2013, after the pair were seen getting cosy at a Beyoncé concert. 

A few flirty Instagram pics and sightings at parties followed – but nothing was ever confirmed about her time with the five-time Grammy Award winner.

That was, until 2017, when she was asked about it on Andy Cohen’s watch What Happens Live. 

Asked if the rumours were true, she said: “We hung out for a minute. But we are very good friends. You know.”

When pressed on the question and asked if they “mashed a little bit”, she added with a laugh: “We hung out a little bit. You know, it’s like how I hang out, I don’t know how you hang out…He’s a cutie.”

Penn Badgley

Zoë enjoyed a serious relationship before this with Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley , having started dating in 2011 after his break-up with Blake Lively. 

The pair shared an apartment, and in an interview with Movieline, Badley described their connection as “real, true, earth-shattering love.” 

But this intense romance came to an end after two years, with a source at the time saying that though it was amicable, they were at “two different stages in their careers” and “just didn’t have time for each other”.

Michael Fassbender

Their 12-year age gap raised a few eyebrows

On-screen chemistry led to off-screen romance for Zoë and Michael Fassbender after they met on the set of X-Men: First Class back in 2010.

At the time, Zoë was in her early 20s, but despite their 12-year age gap it was reported that Fassbender was attracted to her “mature” personality and “strong opinions”. 

She was even, apparently, the one taking the lead in the relationship. A source told Us Weekly: “Most people are shocked to learn she’s so young; she doesn’t really bring it up and age would never stop her from dating anybody…She’s actually the one taking care of him most of the time.”

However, things quietly came to an end shortly after in 2011.

Turns out, Zoë was no stranger to age-gap relationships, with her first high-profile relationship being with actor Ben Foster

They dated around 2007 to 2009, when Zoë was 19 and Foster was 27. 

Though they attended a few red carpet events together, not much is known about how things ended and they went their separate ways without any fanfare.
