One Direction girlfriends: Harry Styles dating Emily Atack?

One Direction tour

One Direction star Harry Styles is dating Inbetweeners actress Emily Atack, it has been reported.

In the latest of a string of ‘Who is Harry Styles dating?’ stories, the Sunday Mirror claim that Harry has been seeing the former Dancing On Ice contestant.

“They’re perfect for each other, they really are. They’ve been getting to know each other and keeping things quiet but they’re close,” a source told the newspaper. “Harry has always had a crush on her and hoped he could get it ­together with her and they eventually did.

“Everyone hopes they will become an item, but they’re both being ­realistic. ­Harry’s about to start a world tour and Emily’s working non-stop.”

But despite the feelings both have, Harry’s hectic tour schedule means that it’s unlikely that the pair will have much time to see one another.

Harry has been in the UK for just a few weeks, but has already flown back to the US to start another round of gigs across the country.

“Harry is spending so much time out of the country he finds it hard to settle down and make a long-term ­relationship work,” the friend added to the newspaper.
