Former One Direction stars, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson left their fans shocked after confirming their relationship on Instagram. Sunday afternoon has been anything but restful on twitter after Harry Styles confirmed he was in a relationship with his former bandmate, Louis Tomlinson. It all started when Styles posted a picture of him holding hands with someone with the caption ” See you soon…” The person’s face cannot be seen in the picture, but it didn’t take long for fans to notice that the tattoos on the faceless man’s hand were eerily similar to those of Louis Tomlinson. Immediately twitter blew up with the speculation of the two being somehow being involved. The speculation did not last long, however, when Louis Tomlinson posted a statement on Twitter that gave fans all the answers they were searching for not even an hour later. The statement reads:
“These things are never easy, but I’ve decided that I am tired of lying to people I care about and people that care about me. I know I might lose some of you by the end of this message, but to those of you who stick with me are the ones I truly care about. I’ve struggled with my sexuality for a long time, but with the support of my friends and family, I’ve been able to come to a conclusion. I am gay. Thank you to the person that has been my anchor through all of this @Harrystyles. Thank you for loving me and staying by my side. Sincerely, Louis.”
That statement was enough for fans to conclude that Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are, in fact, in a relationship. It has long been speculated by One Direction fans that Harry and Louis were in a relationship while the band was still popular, however, this is the first time the two have ever publicly hinted at a romantic relationship. Fans are eager to get more details on their relationship and so are we. We’ll be keeping up and reporting on all things Harry and Louis. We sure are happy for the two lovebirds and can’t wait to see their relationship grow!
