A new report suggests that there might be romance brewing up between Harry Styles and Emma Watson. The report claims that One Direction hunk and "Harry Potter" actress enjoyed a "secret date" in late December.

HEAT magazine (via J-14) broke the news in one of its recent articles. The publication claims that Harry Styles and Emma Watson spent some time together on a "secret date" watching a soccer game. According to the report, the duo watched Manchester United vs. Newcastle soccer game on Dec 26, 2014.

An unnamed source revealed the details of the celebs' rumoured date. The insider claims that Harry Styles and Emma Watson were very "careful" and made sure that they "were not seen with each other" during the game.

As per the report, the insider saw Harry Styles "when he was heading to the toilets." The source went on to claim that when they approached bookies at the event "everyone was talking about them [Harry Styles and Emma Watson] being there together."

This is not the first time Harry Styles has been associated to tinsel town ladies. Previously, the One Direction singer has been romantically linked to Erin Foster, Paige Reifler, Kendall Jenner and more. Also fans must note that the reports lack official comments from the associated persons or their representatives thus it is wise to consider it a rumour.

Meanwhile, it is said Harry Styles is currently dating Victoria's Secret model Nadine Leopold. The two were first spotted together in November in Los Angeles, fuelling romance rumours. Now, Us Weekly is reporting that the multiple sources have confirmed that Harry Styles "has been getting serious with Nadine [Leopold]."

According to the report, Harry Styles even helped Nadine Leopold in organising her birthday. But it is reported that the alleged couple is not yet "exclusive." However, they are spending a lot of time together.

As for Emma Watson, the "Harry Potter" star recently broke up with her long-time boyfriend Matthew Janney. According to Daily Mail, the reps of the actress confirmed that the split was "amicable."

Meanwhile, J-14 speculates that Harry Styles and Emma Watson "may have only been hanging out as friends." The report notes that the duo was seen getting "flirty at the 2014 British Fashion Awards." What do you think? Would you like to see Harry Styles dating Emma Watson?
