Louis Tomlinson Says 'Larry' Rumors Affected His & Harry Styles' Friendship

Louis Tomlinson is finally opening up about the rumors that he and Harry Styles were in a romantic relationship and he says the “Larry Stylinson” theories actually had an impact on their friendship.

For years, One Direction fans had a theory that there was more to the guys’ relationship than just a friendship, but it was obviously not true.

“I’ve never actually been asked about it directly. It’s a funny thing. It kind of happened naturally for me and Harry because a certain amount of the fans drew up this conspiracy,” Louis told The Sun. “When it first came around I was with Eleanor, and it actually felt a little bit disrespectful to Eleanor, who is my girlfriend now.”

“I’m so protective over things like that, about the people I love. So it created this atmosphere between the two of us where everyone was looking into everything we did,” Louis added. “It took away the vibe you get off anyone. It made everything a little bit more unapproachable. I think [what's happened since] shows that it was never anything ‘real’ if I can use that word.”

Louis also talked about the rumors in the below video interview.
