Harry Styles is said to have a new woman in his life.

The One Direction star is reportedly dating former Hollyoaks star Emily Atack and even worse than that, insiders say he’s quite serious about the blonde beauty.

Harry is on of the most eligible bachelors in the UK right now, however source close to the curly haired cutie say he is devoted to the actress and that the relationship is his first serious romance, since he dated Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack last year.

There is a bit of an age gap, though perhaps not as much as Harry is used to, as Emily is only four years older than him at 22 years old, as compared to Flack’s 15 year old head start.

Insiders told The Mirror that Styles and Atack are ‘perfect’ for each other, explaining:

“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.”

They added:

“Harry has always had a crush on her and hoped he could get it ­together with her and they eventually did.”

However, 1D fangirls need not fret too much too soon, as very soon Harry will be leaving his new woman behind as he and One Direction embark on their first ever headline American tour.

He hasn’t had much time to get close to Emily either, as Styles only returned to the UK a month ago and for almost a week of that time, he was in Sweden working on the group’s second album.

Even those close to the couple admit that Harry’s hectic schedule could cause problems for the pair, confessing that it could lead to a split. One source said:

“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.

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