Reports of pop star Harry Styles and actor-director Zoë Kravitz‘s engagement — after approximately eight months of dating — surfaced last week, though neither has publicly confirmed the news. The couple appears to be moving quickly: Insiders now tell Page Six that Styles has been “dead set” on becoming a father for some time, and those close to him believe a child with Kravitz could follow soon.
“He really wants a baby,” a source told Page Six, adding that he had been telling his friends as much. The 32-year-old singer had reportedly told friends as early as January that he was ready for a child, even considering the possibility of going it alone before his whirlwind romance with Kravitz took off. Now that the two are reportedly engaged, those in their circle believe that timeline has only accelerated.
The shift in Styles’ perspective on family appears to have been triggered by the birth of his niece in 2024. His older sister, Gemma Styles, announced in February 2024 that she had welcomed a baby girl with her partner, Michal Mlynowski. Styles later told The Times of London that he had stepped back from his career around that time — a decision that reshaped his outlook. “My sister had a baby, and at any other time in my life, I would have missed a lot of that,” he said. “To be there, to get to know my niece as she’s growing up, it’s so obvious to me what’s real. It was really obvious that was where I wanted to be.”
While Styles’ statements about family suggest he may be ready for fatherhood, neither he nor Kravitz has publicly addressed the engagement or any plans for children. The couple has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight; engagement speculation began on April 22 after photos published by The Sun showed Kravitz in London with Styles, sporting what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand as he leaned in to kiss her through a car window.
Sources close to the couple told Page Six that Styles is “completely smitten” — “He would jump off a cliff for her” — and that “no one in their circle is surprised” by the engagement. A separate insider said Kravitz referred to Styles as her “soulmate.”
Styles and Kravitz were first publicly linked in August 2025, when they were spotted walking arm in arm in Rome. Later that month, they were seen kissing at Rita’s Restaurant in London on Aug. 19.
A month after their first sightings, a source told Page Six, “I feel like they’ve gone from zero to 60.”
As new details about Kravitz and Styles’ relationship continue to emerge, fans are waiting for the two to speak on the record — particularly with the May 4 Met Gala approaching, where Kravitz is serving as a co-chair of the host committee.
