Olivia Wilde won’t say too much about her relationship with Harry Styles because of celebrity gossip.
However, the actress briefly touched on her romance with the former One Direction signer in a new interview with Variety.
"We both go out of our way to protect our relationship," Wilde said. "I think it's out of experience, but also just out of deep love."
The couple met on the set of their upcoming film, “Don’t Worry Darling,” in which Wilde directs and stars. Styles also stars in the film opposite his on-screen wife, Florence Pugh.
In her cover story for Variety, Wilde explained why she’s so hush-hush about her romantic life.
“I've never seen a relationship benefit from being dragged into the public arena,” she said.
“The whole culture of celebrity gossip is interesting as a distraction tool to numb people from the greater pains of the world."
Wilde continued to say, "Escapism is really a very human quality, searching for something to anesthetize the painful reality of so many people's lives.”
I don't blame people for seeking escapism, but I think the tabloid media is a tool to pit women against one another and to shame them."
