Critics are mainly targeting their age difference…
Harry Styles was recently featured on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
During his interview, his lover Olivia Wilde joined him to open up about the negative and toxic comments the two artists frequently receive about their relationship.
The 38-year-old actress and the 28-year-old singer have been together for just over a year, and from the first time the lovebirds were spotted together, criticism has been flying.
For some fans of Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde is “too old” to be in a relationship with the singer.
Obviously, both artists explain during the interview that these comments are unpleasant and are the “antithesis” of what Harry Styles represents, that is to say the openness and a certain positivism.
This unpleasant situation for the lovebirds raises a common issue in today’s society: large age differences are generally well regarded when the man is older, but are often heavily criticized when the woman is older.
This double standard is frustrating and unfair to women, but unfortunately, it is not new. In fact, Olivia Wilde has been paying the price again in the whole custody saga against her ex-husband, Jason Sudeikis.
