Louis Tomlinson has said he was never surprised that Harry Styles went on to enjoy the most successful solo career after One Direction.
The singer explained that he always believed the As It Was hitmaker was destined for major solo success once the group entered an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
"I always knew Harry was going to go on to do what he's done. I'm sure he's even gone beyond what he expected himself in terms of how completely he's taken over the world, but we all knew he had everything needed to become a great artist," Tomlinson told Billboard in an interview published on Monday.
Tomlinson also shared that he felt confident about Niall Horan’s future as a solo performer.
"Niall was someone I had a really good feeling about too. He's Irish, he's lovely and people naturally warm to him," he said, while adding that history shows there are usually "not normally more than two" members of a band who go on to truly "prosper" on their own.
While Tomlinson, Horan, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne all found varying degrees of success after the band, none reached the same level of global dominance achieved by Styles.
Styles launched his solo career with the 2017 single Sign of the Times and his self titled debut album, before releasing 2019’s Fine Line and 2022’s Harry’s House. His run has included chart topping songs such as Watermelon Sugar and As It Was, sold out arena and stadium tours around the world and appearances in several films.
Speculation is now growing that Styles may be preparing to return to music after more than two years away from the spotlight. He has unveiled a new website at webelongtogether.co, while his official site now includes an unexplained sign up form. Cryptic billboards featuring the phrase "we belong together" have also appeared in cities worldwide.
Meanwhile, Tomlinson is set to release his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?, on 23 January.

Blueface is back in the headlines after once again putting his romantic life on public display. The rapper took to X to announce that Neveah Akira has been officially removed from what he refers to as his “roster,” saying she failed to meet the standards of his self described system. “Neveah has been cut from the roster she did not make the team this is a dictatorship not a democracy,” Blueface wrote on X.
The post quickly caught attention online, with fans trying to understand what “waiting her turn” even looks like in Blueface’s world. Some brushed it off as another chapter in his ongoing relationship drama, while others took issue with the way he continues to speak about women publicly, comparing his dating life to a competition rather than an actual relationship.
Things become even more complicated when looking at how everything unfolded over the past year. Following his release from prison, Blueface was briefly connected to reality television personality Hazel-E. That situation ended just as publicly, with Blueface announcing their breakup online and bluntly stating that she was “too old” for him. Hazel-E, who is 45, did not let the remark slide and later responded during a No Jumper interview. She called the rapper “zesty” and criticized his behavior, prompting Blueface to fire back by claiming she did not feel that way when they were allegedly still involved.
Not long after that exchange, Blueface was seen spending time with Neveah Akira, leading many fans to assume Hazel-E was firmly in the past. Now, with Neveah seemingly out of the picture as well, it appears the rapper’s revolving door of relationships is still very much in motion.
At this point, Blueface’s personal life feels like a reality series unfolding in real time, with every post treated like a new episode. Whether this latest declaration actually lasts or turns into another reversal remains unclear, but one thing is obvious. Blueface continues to know exactly how to keep people watching and talking.
