Olivia Wilde and poker-faced Harry Styles have been pictured together for the first time since ‘s bombshell interview with the actress’ former nanny.
The pair both looked glum as they ate at LA’s Pace restaurant on Wednesday night, and viewers told the normally tactile couple hardly exchanged a glance during dinner.
After dinner they visited the band Wolf Alice at the Wiltern Theater.
Wilde, 38, wore a simple black mini dress and boots, while flamboyant singer Styles, 28, chose a blue diamond-patterned knit tank top and jeans for early evening dinner.
Although the actress was seen smiling and chatting with friends who joined the couple for dinner, an observer told that during the meal – which lasted just over an hour – the As It Was singer was serious and withdrawn worked.
The pair even sat apart upon exiting when Styles was seen climbing into the driver’s seat and Wilde hopping in the back, letting a male friend ride the shotgun.
Pace, a Laurel Canyon Italian restaurant located near Styles’ LA home, boasts a “cozy, romantic” atmosphere and serves a menu of pasta and pizza made with “local and organic ingredients.”
Wilde was previously photographed at the neighboring Canyon Country Store — including on Nov. 13, 2020, just three days after she reportedly left ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis, leaving him distraught.
The new photos come after days of embarrassing revelations from Sudeiki and Wilde’s former nanny, who witnessed the acrimonious split firsthand.

Wilde had insisted the split was a joint decision and was coming in January 2020, but the nanny has questioned the 38-year-old’s schedule, saying it came much later and was far from mutual.
On Wednesday, published photos of the joint ex-couple in Malibu on September 8, 2020, where Wilde smiles lovingly at Sudeikis and wears her vintage emerald and diamond engagement ring.
While Wilde insisted her relationship with Sudeikis ended well before she started dating Styles in October 2020, the nanny hinted at the couple’s Labor Day beach trip just two months earlier when she was spotted changing her engagement ring wore
A month later, she began filming Don’t Worry Darling with Styles and saw the nanny on set looking “dizzy” around the British star.
Then, in early November 2020, Wilde moved out of the family’s $4 million home in the Silver Lake area of LA, citing an on-set Covid outbreak, and settled in at the $1,650-a-night Paramour Estate Hotel LA down.
Wilde then called off her engagement to Sudeikis — which left him shocked and distraught — before going public with Styles in January 2021, when they were pictured together at his agent’s wedding in Montecito, California.
The 38-year-old actress and film director has always insisted that she and Sudeikis would split in early 2020, telling Vanity Fair last month: “Our relationship was over long before I met Harry.”
She added it was a “horse**t” idea that she “left Jason for Harry” and claimed the couple decided to be co-parents for as long as possible during Covid to help their children facilitate.

Although Olivia looked relaxed and happy while chatting with her friends outside the restaurant, Harry kept the same very tight-lipped expression and didn’t seem to smile once when they were spotted outside

Harry seemed disinterested and was on the phone outside the restaurant. He remained curious about his relationship with Olivia and her tumultuous split from her ex, Jason Sudeikis
They were later spotted in the crowd at a concert by the English band Wolf Alice and continued to appear dejected
But the nanny, who has looked after Otis, now eight, and Daisy, six, for three years, said her September 2020 beach trip with the couple and their children proved that wasn’t the case.
“Check out her ring on Labor Day Weekend (2020). We were in Malibu for Labor Day weekend,” she told .
“That was just before she started dating Harry. She wears her Jason engagement ring and laughs as she lies on the beach.”
Sudeikis proposed to Wilde in 2013 after three years together with a diamond ring surrounded by a halo of emeralds.
At the time, Olivia said of the ring’s history: “All you know is that it went through Paris around 1921. I love imagining the history of this ring. who had it It’s a bit like an aqua emerald, not a deep dark green. Jason said it reminded him of my eyes, which is very cute.’
Despite her claims the relationship is over, Wilde reportedly only spoke about her marriage plans in October 2020, according to the former nanny.
The nanny said she planned in detail for daughter Daisy to act as flower girl during the ceremony, which was due “within a year”.
