One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has been in London this week. Tomlinson flew from his L.A. home with his reported girlfriend, Danielle Campbell, to attend the annual Pride of Britain Awards. As any One Direction fan is well aware, Louis is a massive supporter of children’s charities. Tomlinson has been a huge supporter of charities like Believe In Magic and A Siblings Wish .
Both charities have connections to Tomlinson through Louis’ friendship with Harvey Hext and his family. Little Harvey died from neuroblastoma, and earlier this year, Harvey’s mom, Sarah Hext, spoke exclusively to the Inquisitr telling us of the kindness Tomlinson and his mother had shown her family. Given Tomlinson’s generosity to children’s charities, it was no surprise to see Louis at the Pride of Britain Awards. The awards recognize the incredible and awe-inspiring achievements of people who are overcoming difficulties. Many awards are won by children who have faced the most incredible adversity. No One Direction fan would be surprised to see Louis lend his support to such an occasion.
The Daily Mail reports that Louis and Danielle Campbell cut quite a dash as they walked the red carpet. Louis sported a gray check suit with a black and white tie, while Danielle wowed the crowds in a full-length black evening dress. The Daily Mirror reports that Louis saw awards presented to “children facing daunting adversity, inspirational campaigners, members of the emergency services who went beyond the call of duty, and people who displayed awe-inspiring courage to save others.”
Somewhat sadly, Tomlinson’s visit to the U.K. coincides with another outbreak of “Larry” fever. For those who do not follow Louis Tomlinson or One Direction closely, it has long been rumored that Tomlinson is in a long-term relationship with bandmate Harry Styles. The rumors have persisted since the early days of One Direction when Louis and Harry shared a London home.
Many One Direction fans have amassed a wealth of material that they are convinced prove that Tomlinson and Styles are, or were, lovers. As a result, many fans have dubbed the pair “Larry Stylinson,” an amalgamation of Harry and Louis’ names. It must be said that nothing divides One Direction fans more than “Larry.”

Many One Direction fans are outraged at the behavior of the so called, “Larry Shippers” and have amassed an equal volume of material that they say proves that harry and Louis are exactly what they claim to be. For their part, both Styles and Tomlinson have been relatively silent on the issue, though back in September, the Sun reported that Louis had banned the word Larry from his Instagram feed. In the past, Tomlinson has also described the whole “Larry” thing as “bull***t.” Styles, on the other hand, frequently teases fans by posting pictures of rainbows on his social media feeds.
The fact is that both sets of One Direction fans are convinced of their own beliefs, and it is probably this that keeps the topic of Larry Stylinson re-emerging every few months. It seems that on this occasion, Larry has raised his ugly head after it was reported that both Styles and Tomlinson had bought houses in L.A. It is reported by GameNGuide, which claims have been made suggesting that Styles and Tomlinson have been meeting each other clandestinely. It is also claimed that Harry and Louis are going to live together in “a fancy Hollywood Hills mansion.”
It is probably fair to say that most One Direction fans believe that they will never know the facts about the relationship between Styles and Tomlinson. Some will say that while fans are still talking about Harry and Louis, One Direction remain relevant.
