SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Harry Styles seems to have struck up a close bond with Australian fashion blogger Yan Yan Chan, whom he invited to a private after-party at his Sydney Concert. The British singer, 29, and the social media star sparked romance rumors after it was reported that the pair enjoyed a secret getaway in February when Harry was visiting Australia for his ‘Love On’ tour.
A well-placed source revealed that it was the 'Night Changes' hit-maker who made the first move by "sliding into Yan Yan's DMs and inviting her to attend a private afterparty" at his concert on March 4, Daily Mail reported. The fashionista was also spotted enjoying Harry’s concert, lounging in a gold-class corporate box with a number of other influencers. Harry and Yan Yan have never been pictured together although they have been following each other on Instagram since 2020.

If the rumors are to be believed, Harry and Yan Yan have worked hard to keep the relationship under wraps. "While Harry's closest knows exactly who she is, Yan Yan is the type of person who would never kiss and tell," the source alleged. Born in Hong Kong, Yan Yan grew up in Sydney, where she garnered fame as a fashion blogger around 2009.
The gorgeous social media star has worked with numerous fashion moguls, including Sir the Label. Yan Yan has been documenting her healthy and fun lifestyle on Instagram, where she has amassed over 210,000 followers.

Harry wants to keep things quiet
Harry and Yan Yan’s connection came to light after it was reported that the singer was "in early days of romance with a mystery woman." "Harry is seeing someone. He's going to great lengths to keep her identity quiet after the circus surrounding his relationship with Olivia,” an insider told Daily Mail. "But his close circles all know about the romance. Though it's early days, things seem to be going well.”
Before the current entanglement, Harry was in a two-year-long relationship with Olivia Wilde. The pair decided to call it off in November last year after they found they had "different priorities that are keeping them apart." While it's claimed the pair are still "good friends," Harry has left the romance firmly in the past as the One Direction star is said to have moved on with someone else.
