Harry Styles Spotted at New Pope’s First Address at Vatican City

The One Direction alum wore a hat with “techno is my boyfriend” written on it.

Harry Styles was spotted among throngs of people who gathered in Saint Peter’s Square to welcome the new pope on Thursday. The One Direction alum tried to keep a low profile with shades and a cap, but eagle-eyed fans spotted him among the faithful as Pope Leo XIV made his inaugural address as the head of the Catholic church. A Turkish fan spotted the singer and shared an image of him on X. “While I was watching the Pope’s announcement in St. Peter’s Square, Harry Styles passed by me and our eyes met, I immediately photographed this memory. What a day,” she wrote. Styles, 31, said in 2010 that he was “christened but [is] not really religious.” In 2018 he opened up further. “I definitely consider myself to be more spiritual than religious,” he said in an interview with Chelsea Handler. “I’m not super tied-in to certain rules but I think it’s naïve to say nothing exists and there’s nothing above us or more powerful than us. I think that’s a little narrow-minded.”
