Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have been embroiled in a so-called romance tagged as "Larry Stylinson" since One Direction's early days at "The X Factor." While Tomlinson (and even former 1D member Zayn Malik) denied having any romantic relationship with Styles, Larry shippers continue to insist that there is something special going on between the two singers. Is Larry affecting One Direction?
Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are allegedly in a secret relationship since the boys' beginnings on "The X Factor." Larry fans have been piercing through every photo and video, scouring the web for things, which might be taken as proofs that Larry is real and not just a mere figment of their imagination.
The Larry Stylinson fandom has its pros and cons. Just recently, Teen Vogue reported that Styles and Tomlinson have been named as Tumblr's most popular ship of the year. While fans who 'ship this alleged couple are probably one of the most loyal fans in the world, previous reports accused the fandom of causing a rift between Styles and Tomlinson, and even alluded that the Larry issue is one of the reasons behind One Direction's hiatus.
In a recent report from Inquisitr, the author pointed out that One Direction, especially Styles and Tomlinson could not seem to find peace even in their private lives. The publication noted that Larry fans now have their eyes on Styles' rumored girlfriend, Georgia Fowler.
According to the outlet, Fowler recently posted a photo on Instagram and captioned: "Harry High Pants meet Larry Long Legs." This photo was said to have angered a couple of Larry fans for seemingly disrespecting their fandom and filled the New Zealand model's photo with comments.
The outlet further noted that Larry Stylinson "may also prevent One Direction's music from reaching a wider audience," and cited that the fans' hostility towards critics and new supporters are getting in the way.
