'Put it to rest': Internet backs Louis Tomlinson as he shuts down 'Larry' rumors of dating Harry Styles
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Back To You' singer Louis Tomlinson, who used to be a part of One Direction, just spilled his thoughts on the whole 'Larry Stylinson' ship that fans created, pairing him up romantically with his former bandmate Harry Styles.
Tomlinson has revealed that the trend really got on his nerves.
Fans of One Direction rallied behind Tomlinson, showing him love and urging everyone to ditch the whole Larry Stylinson trend.
Meanwhile, Styles has been keeping pretty quiet about the whole thing since One Direction formed.
Lately, he's been caught up in a sweet romance with Taylor Russell. Insiders revealed that Styles is thinking about settling down and starting a family with Russell, away from all the fame.
Louis Tomlinson asserts he is tired of the 'Larry' ship created by fans
According to Billboard, Tomlinson recently opened up about the persistent rumors linking him romantically with his former One Direction bandmate Styles. These rumors, often referred to as the 'Larry Stylinson' conspiracy, have been circulating since their days in the band.
In an interview with the Brazilian news outlet G1 on Monday, the 'Two of Us' singer addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding their relationship.
Tomlinson expressed, "What’s tough is, I realized this some years ago there is nothing I can say. There is nothing I can do to dispel the believers of that conspiracy."
Tomlinson admitted, "They are so intertwined with what they believe to be the truth now that they won’t actually see the truth for what it is. I’d be lying if I… it does irritate me a little bit, but it is just kind of the nature of the job. At times it gets far too personal. I have my son, Freddie. He is the most important person in my life. Occasionally, it kind of broaches some stuff that’s really unfair."
He added, "It kind of just is this thing that exists now, there’s nothing I can do about it, there’s nothing I can say about it to stop people from making up what they want to make up. So, so be it."
As mentioned by Billboard, rumors about Tomlinson and Styles' relationship began circulating as far back as 2010 when One Direction was formed on 'The X Factor'.
Despite the band's breakup in 2015, fan fiction, artwork, and online discussions about the 'Larry' conspiracy have persisted, demonstrating the enduring fascination of 'Larries' - the section of fans that endorse 'Larry Stylinson' with Styles and Tomlinson's bond.
