Harry Styles and Adele turned heads after they were spotted in the Caribbean together at the top of 2020. Months later, the former One Direction star has denied rumors that the two are dating.

During a recent radio stop, the chart-topper, 26, shut down the fuss about a romance between him and his Brit peer. "I feel like that's just any time two musicians hang out," he said, adding, "Either they're dating or they're recording together."

As for his love life in general, Styles said it's a strategic territory to balance alongside his career. It's always kind of a balance thing, because you want to date normally but then, you also want to protect it so it can be normal," he explained. "I think a big part of it is like, you wanna be able to spend enough time with each other where you can get to know each other before you have to deal with the extra stuff."

Adele, who announced her split from her husband Simon Knoecki in April 2019, is readying a new album for September and apparently leaned on Styles during their separation. "Harry was Adele’s rock when she split from Simon last April," an insider told Closer Magazine. "He checked in on her constantly, stayed over at her LA mansion whenever she needed company, and generally was an amazing friend to her when she most needed it."
