Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde have kept their relationship under wraps after meeting on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling” in 2020, per Us Weekly. Wilde made a vague statement to Vogue in December 2021, telling the outlet, “All that matters to you is what’s real, and what you love, and who you love.” Styles was similarly obscure when he spoke on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show” about his experience working with Wilde. “Being able to trust your director is a gift. That was very helpful and it really meant … a really nice experience working on that movie,” he said (via Page Six).
Styles and Wilde haven’t officially confirmed their relationship, and likewise, Styles hasn’t confirmed that any of the songs on “Harry’s House” are about Wilde. He has, however, dropped plenty of hints. According to Life & Style, Styles told SiriusXM host Howard Stern that “Cinema” is a love song regarding someone important. Lyrics like “I think you’re cool / I dig your cinema” and “I bring the pop to the cinema / You pop when we’re intimate” led fans to believe Wilde was Styles’ muse. “There’s no way cinema isn’t about Olivia Wilde,” one fan tweeted. “So we are not going to talk about how Cinema — a sex ballad — is for Olivia Wilde, a filmmaker,” someone else tweeted.
And because “Cinema” isn’t the only love song on the album, Wilde appears to have inspired another recent hit song.
