Harry Styles was among the thousands of onlookers in Vatican City on Thursday, May 8th when Pope Leo XIV was elected as successor to the late Pope Francis, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The pop star was identified as being in attendance at St. Peter’s Square through a now-viral fan photo, despite his attempt to remain incognito while dressed in a blue jacket, sunglasses, and a baseball hat with “Techno Is My Boyfriend” written on it.
Styles had initially stayed out of the public eye after his “Love on Tour” ended in 2023. However, the former One Direction member recently finished the Tokyo Marathon in under three-and-a-half hours and randomly joined a London running club for a session in April.
