Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz 'Want a Baby Before the Wedding' — Plus His Wembley Show and the 1D Album Wars

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz only got engaged in April — after a whirlwind eight months of dating — but insiders say the loved-up couple already have their sights set well beyond the wedding planning. According to Heat World, the pair are eager to start a family as soon as possible, with Zoë reportedly hoping to be pregnant before she even walks down the aisle.

It's quite the turnaround for the Big Little Lies actress, 37, who friends say previously felt having children 'never felt right' with anyone. But falling for the former One Direction heartthrob appears to have changed everything. A source close to the couple told the outlet: 'Zoe's fallen head over heels for Harry and can't wait to tie the knot. While she was undecided about becoming a mum before, falling in love with Harry, seeing him dote on his baby niece and just hearing all the plans he has for being a father has completely opened Zoe's heart to the joy that having a child with him will bring.'

The insider added that biology is also a factor in the couple's thinking. 'She's 37 now and realising that her window is starting to close biologically. She's now just as baby crazy as he is,' the source said. The wedding itself is expected to take place before the end of the year, with close family and friends in attendance — though no official venue or date has been confirmed.

While his personal life is heating up, Harry's professional diary is equally packed. The pop superstar is set to headline Wembley Stadium on Saturday 4th July 2026 — one of the most coveted gigs of the British summer. The show is part of what promises to be a landmark year for Styles, who has also released his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, to considerable fanfare.

UK readers will be pleased to know that the Daily Mail is currently running a competition to win four premium tickets to the Wembley show, complete with an overnight stay at a central London four-star hotel, access to the stadium's exclusive Level Two bars and restaurants, and a £75-per-person travel allowance. The competition closes at 23:59 on Sunday 15th June 2026 — so if you fancy a very glamorous Fourth of July, you'd better be quick.

Away from the romance and the stadium spectacle, Harry has found himself on the receiving end of a withering critical comparison. All four surviving One Direction members — Harry, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik — have released albums in 2026, and the Irish Times has weighed in with a verdict that won't make for comfortable reading in the Styles camp.

Reviewing Niall Horan's new record Dinner Party, critic gave the album a glowing write-up — and took the opportunity to land a pointed jab at Harry's latest offering. The review described Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally as a 'wannabe-Bowie album' that 'talks a good game but ultimately doesn't have a whole lot to say', suggesting Harry's apparent hunger for critical credibility had become 'less an inspiration than a distraction.'

Horan, by contrast, was praised for his 'joyously moreish collection of mid-tempo pop' — described as 'spectacularly unspectacular' in the best possible sense. The album also features a deeply moving tribute to the late Liam Payne, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 31. The closing track, End of an Era, sees Horan reflect on his friendship with his former bandmate. 'Our friendship was a bond that was there forever even if we hadn't seen each other for a while, and it's wild that one day, like the flick of a switch, he's gone,' Horan said in a recent interview.

So as 2026 shapes up to be the year of the One Direction solo battle royale, it seems Niall Horan — the quiet, guitar-toting one — may have quietly stolen the crown. Don't tell Harry.
