Why His Public Girlfriends Are Fake

[Blind Gossip] We have some interesting insight into the dating habits of this famous boy bander!

We’ve told you before that his public girlfriends are fake. That is still true. However, they are not fake for the reason you think they are!

You might think that his public relationships are fake because he is gay. That’s not it. It all has to do with age.

He had a public relationship in the past with an older woman that was real. However, they caught a lot of flack about it because of their age difference.

So he decided to simply avoid the problem by separating his public/fake dating from his private/real dating. His public girlfriends are now all his age. His private girlfriends are now all much older.

He is just much more attracted to older women. After he and [Woman 1] broke up, he started quietly dating [Woman 2] in private. They have now been on and off for years.

Woman 2 is definitely quite a bit older than him. Not quite his Mum’s age, but certainly old enough that it would raise a few eyebrows.

Why does he fancy older women?

 The younger, public girlfriends are interested in him for the fame and attention. The older women don’t care about that and just like having sex.

So… the younger ones are for the public and the older ones are for him in private. It’s an interesting arrangement that seems to work for everyone involved!

BONUS CLUE: If you think this is about Harry, you are going in the wrong direction!

    Boy bander: Harry Styles
    Woman 1: Caroline Flack

    I definitely think that he is doing it the right way, being a celebrity is already hard enough! I really wouldn’t want to be in his place that’s for sure!

    • Lucretia says

      The blind very clearly says “If you think this is about Harry, you are going in the wrong direction,” so why is everyone guessing Harry?

      More over, we already know the boy is as queer as a three-dollar bill, so he doesn’t fit even if the blind hadn’t told us it’s not him!

    • TheSalmon says

      Because most of these people guessed BEFORE the bonus clue was posted.
      And because the BI is intentionally misleading. Not only by using words “flack” (for Caroline) and British term “fancy” but w the “not quite as old as his mum.” Harry famously said, as a cheeky 17-year-old, that his age limit for girls went “as old as my mum.”

    • Ginger Kitty says

      Bonus clues are added after the BI has been posted. Most of the people guessing Harry replied before the bonus clue.

    • jj the great says

      Now that we see the bonus clue & know it can’t be Harry, the only other person who makes sense is Nick Jonas, who first dated Kate Hudson publicly, and I have no clue who he’s dating privately now. If it’s not him, then I’m lost. PS- The writer of the blind REALLY wanted us to think it was Harry, with the “flack” and “boy bander” clues (even though Nick technically is, who thinks of him that way?) lol; Though I WAS confused, since every other blind ever says he’s gay.

  4. steffie718 says

    Nick Jonas
    Woman 1- Kate Hudson

    the smartest way for him to date is whatever he finds comfortable for him….. however, it does seem a bit messy to me. Where’s can I fill out an application to be his fake gf?!

    • boyzmom says

      Now I wonder if the gay speculation was really for publicity with the young female crowd. They seemed to eat up the idea that Harry and Louis were secretly gay. They all “shipped” (I truly loathe that word) a love affair between the two, so the 1D publicists milked it for all its worth.

  6. nataliakill says

    Harry Styles, Caroline Flack, dont know who woman 2 is

    Hints: they caught a lot of ‘flack’ about it

  8. KittyNC says

    Harry Styles

    Woman1: Caroline Flack

    I think it’s smart. As with all Celebrity, the Public Persona is much different than the private one. I’d go insane if I were living my ‘real’ life out in the public eye/paps lenses.

  9. artistsnow says

    Not sure who this is, Zayn?

    BUT I DO know why younger men prefer older women. lol. It happened to me! When I joined Tinder I was swamped with younger matches I had NO clue this would happen. Pretty sure it’s because certain things get better with age. ;-}

  10. Bambalina11 says

    Well because of the “Flack” clue and fancy is a British term for being attracted to someone I think this may be Harry styles….I know there are a lot of blinds that’s state he is gay but:
    a) he dated Caroline Flack who is about twenty years older than him and they got ripped to shreds in the U.K. tabloids and
    b) when he was a contestant on the xfactor and story broke about how he had been having s3x with his mums friend….

  11. Haydyh says

    Harry Styles?
    He once went out with a presenter called Caroline Flack . She’s about 10 years older than him. I thought they made a cute couple . As they say you are only as old as the person you feel !

    I think it’s a good idea to have public/ private split .

  13. mollydog says

    Harry Styles and Caroline Flack. I’m confused as everything usually seems to point to him being gay.

  17. CherryBomb27 says

    Harry Styles and Caroline Flack, clue being they caught a lot of Flack.

    Yes, I do. Him being linked with younger girls/women means his fans think he’s attainable. Plus an older woman probably wouldn’t be interested in the publicity that comes with dating.

  19. Tootles says

    I bloody knew it in my subconscious so why did it take me this blind spelt it out to acknowledge the obvious
    Harry Styles and 1st Older was Caroline Flack (clue take the flack)
    2nd Older on and off for years is Louise Teasdale the stylist for 1D. Only open time they were photographed together as a couple was at Louis Tomlinsons Mums wedding when they both looked very into each other. Marry her Harry, be happy

  20. blueandgreen says

    Harry Styles. Oh please…he’s gay.

    That Caroline Flack nonsense was obviously a ploy to bring publicity to X Factor and Harry barely even played into it on live TV.

  22. saturnine says

    This has to be about Harry Styles. He copped a lot of flak for openly dating a woman in her thirties when he was still a teen. He definitely likes them older.

  24. amagod121 says

    Boy Bander: Harry Styles

    Her: Jerry Hall ;-D (Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson!)

    Sure. Keeps his private life private. He’s not doing anything bad or wrong, he just wants his privacy!

  27. TwistedSweetness says

    Harry Styles

    Caroline Flack

    Yes, because he’s giving his fans what they fantasize about, but he’s still being true to himself privately.

  30. Oreogirl says

    Harry Styles
    Caroline Flack
    I do think it’s smart! His fans are vicious when it comes to who he’s linked with. He’s incredibly private so the fake girlfriends get their end of the deal and the real ones get to live their lives in peace while still hopefully having really great sex.

  32. antastic says

    I’ve been lurking for years but finally decided to post

    Boybander: Harry Styles

    Woman 1: Caroline Flack

  33. drcarly says

    The clues make it sound like Harry Styles, but that a) seems too easy and b) goes against other blinds on here, so I’m going to go with Nick Jonas.

  35. KiraKat says

    HARRY STYLES, CAROLINE FLACK
    I feel bad for Harry and am glad he can keep his real dating life a secret. He has always been attracted to older ladies…my theory was because they are still pretty hot (ar the time he was dating women in their 30’s)and are experienced in bed…so win win..do wonder who he is seeing now…his female stylist…they have known each other for years and she is 10 yrs older..

  36. Bamadex says

    I’m thouroghly confused if this is supposed to be Harry Styles. Since 2012 we’ve had tons of BIs about Harry being gay, Harry and Louis, Harry’s beards, etc.

    Is he bisexual now? ‘Cause he sure isn’t straight.

  37. aaaTaz says

    Harry Styles.

    clue: flack. He was dating Caroline Flack at one point during his x factor stint.

    Optional: Who he dates isn’t anyones business but I do like to think he is open to dating anyone of any sex.

  40. mmorina says

    This is DEFINITELY Harry Styles, “flack,” is the clue, as in Caroline Flack, his ex girlfriend and co host of The X Factor. Harry was 17 and she was 33 at the time, and neither tried hiding it until the controversy hit.

    Interesting how suddenly BG says he isn’t gay but yet all those years gossip columnist tried to lead with that dumb Larry Stylinskn gag. Which leads me to believe some of these columnists behind these gay rumors, create them because they’re a gay and like to indulge in…

  42. gemini1993 says

    harry styles
    woman 1 was caroline flack i remember that it was only gross back then cuz he was like 16 or 17
    idc what he does anymore

  43. sayswho says

    Boybander: Harry Styles
    Woman1: Caroline Flack
    Caroline Flack was forced on Harry when he was 16-17 years old and she was in her 30’s. Simon’s idea no doubt and has hurt Harry greatly! Having said that any woman he has been with in the public eye (other than the ones who were his sister or mother the columns paired him with!) has been a PR stunt and is boring us all to death. Harry is a lovely person and deserves appreciation but this new management is just screwing him like his old…

  45. craicmehappy says

    This is supposed to be Harry Styles and the older woman was Caroline Flack.

    He never confirms having a girlfriend so it’s all speculation anyway.

  47. justwondering says

    Okay if this isn’t about Harry…is it about Liam? His current “girlfriend” Cheryl is 10 years older than him.. the younger girls he dated where Sophia Smith (who he was with before Cheryl) and Danielle Peazer.

    So I think…

    Boy bander: Liam Payne

    Woman: Cheryl Cole

  51. youngstory says

    LOL for the bonus clue. As soon as you mentioned not gay, i know it’s not harry. He used to date his closemate.

    I don’t know any band other than one direction though.

  52. aaaabi says

    Nick Jonas…rumored to have been seeing Kate Hudson within the past year or so (13 year age difference)

  53. Shahlaa says

    Boy Bander: Harry Styles
    Woman 1: Caroline Flack
    Optional: This is a smart option, it will keep all parties happy.

  59. ChattyCat says

    PHEW! ? It’s not Harry! You had me with that “flack” word! ?

    Bonus clue is NO help…”wrong direction”: does that mean it IS 1D *or* are you teling us 1D is wrong?!!

    I need to lie down.
    Do some SOLVED’S to make me feel better?

  65. poplarh11 says

    how is this not harry?! they use the word flack for his ex girlfriend caroline flack?! hes probably hooking up with lou his hair stylist. I don’t understand if i’m honest, Liam had a baby with cheryl who is 10 years his senior. He is allowed date who he pleases. In terms of the other band members:
    Louis is the only other one rumoured to be gay but hes never dated someone older.
    Niall dated ellie goulding but thats 7 years
    Could be zayn he dated rebecca ferguson who is 8 years

  69. research boy says

    So you’re admitting that Harry IS gay, then?

    Because his management has tried to sell us on “Harry likes older women” a time or three. (Most infamously with Kimberly Stewart, which is funny given the lesbian rumors on her…)

    Apparently Nick Jonas is “dating” VS model Georgia Fowler, age 25. (The pics of them “together” have them like 10 feet apart, with Georgia looking ill.) Older women, you say? And here I thought the JoBros were ALL gay.

    Way to mess things up, Nicky.

  70. missex says

    Harry Styles
    Clues: Flack- for Caroline Flack.
    Yeah it is smart- the amount of, well , flack she got for that relationship was so unfair, I think he’s right to protect his new relationship.

  71. aaaMidas says

    Ooh, this is clearly about Harry Styles when he dated Caroline Flack! He was 17 and she was in her 30s…

  80. AlltheGoss says

    Did everyone mis the part of the bl8nd that SPECIFICALLY said it’s NOT Harry???

    That being said, I had no clue who it was until I saw a Nick Jonas guess.
    So:

    Boy Bander: Nick Jonas

    Woman 1: Delta Goodrem

  81. harrystanner says

    LOL it’s not my beautiful gay son Harry.

    This is Nick Jonas who has had relationships with much older women Delta Goodrem and Kate Hudson.

  82. DammitWoodhouse says

    Nick Jonas.

    He was with Delta Goodrem a few years ago which raised eyebrows at the age difference.

  84. yo1774 says

    That was funny, the BI said explicitly that is not Harry Styles but 99% keep saying it’s about him.
    Come on, Harry is so comfortable in his glass closet that he could give Shawn Mendes some tips to not be so awkward

  86. DexCotton88 says

    LOL at the 50 people who guessed Harry Styles even though the bottom of the blind says that it’s NOT him.

  90. kneebone says

    Boy Bander: Zayn
    Woman 1: Rebecca Ferguson

    As clue says not harry but makes it clear it is a one directioner I think it must be zayn.
    When he was xfactor he dated fellow contestant Rebecca Ferguson who was 26 and he was 18.
    Since then he has been linked to Perrie who is his age, and Gigi. Gigi and Zayn is all for PR so this makes sense to the clues.
