It seems Harry Styles has been crushing on Emily Ratajkowski for quite some time, after fans unearthed a video where he called the model his celebrity crush.
The 29-year-old As It Was singer - who was pictured passionately making out with the model, 31 - earlier this week, spoke about her in a clip from eight years ago.
In the video, from a December 2014 interview with "Telehit, the former One Direction star was asked by an interviewer if he had a 'celebrity crush.'
'Emily Ratajkowski,' he replied, while hilariously mispronouncing her last name.
The surprising new romance comes on the heels of Styles' split from actress Olivia Wilde, 39, last November, and Ratajkowski's divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard, with whom she shares son Sylvester, two, last September.
