Harry was seen walking in front of St Peter’s Basilica with New York-based designer Kim, who has appeared on the cover of high-end interior mags.

The pair were also spotted wandering through the back streets of Rome — with Harry carrying a bottle of wine.

A source said: “Harry loves nothing more than showing people his favourite spots in Italy.

“He also loves art and Kim has been a great source of inspiration.”

Kim, who grew up in Antwerp, Belgium, has shared pictures on her Instagram of The Loggia Of Cupid And Psyche — a mural depicting a love affair — at the Villa Farnesina in Rome.

She also posted snaps of red peppers drying on a rooftop in Ravello on Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

It comes as Harry is rumoured to have fallen in love with the small Italian village of Civita di Bagnoregio.

The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker spent the pandemic learning Italian and sign language.

During his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2023, Harry thanked 120,000 fans in Italian.

Speaking in their language, he said: “The last two years of my life have been a wonderful gift and it is truly very special to end my tour here, in a country that has a special place in my heart.”

In June, the singer was seen sharing a passionate kiss with producer Ella Kenny at Glastonbury Festival.

It came after his relationship with actress Taylor Russell ended in May last year.

He was seen kissing model Emily Ratajkowski on a night out in 2023 and has previously dated model Kendall Jenner, singer Taylor Swift and actress Olivia Wilde.

Last month, Harry launched his own vibrating sex toy and lubricant through his lifestyle brand, Pleasing.

Alongside his new passion as a tour guide, it seems that Harry has many strings to his bow.

DUA RULES AT FEST

DUA LIPA gave an electric performance at the Sunny Hill Festival in the capital of Kosovo on Friday.

The annual event, which she organises with her family, also saw her sing on stage with her dad Dukagjin.

Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “This festival is something my family and I created with so much love for our city Pristina.

“And to see it come to life like this is beyond anything I could’ve dreamed of.”

The New Rules hitmaker also revealed that she has been granted Kosovan citizenship.

The singer was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents and briefly lived in Pristina when she was a child.

Posting a number of snaps from the weekend, including a selfie with her certificate, she wrote: “Got my Kosovo citizenship the night before then partied hard at Sunny Hill Festival the night after!!!”

HEIDI READY FOR SUGA HIT ON TV

HEIDI RANGE is set to lift the lid on her tumultuous time in the Sugababes in explosive BBC documentary Girlbands Forever.

The singer will sit down with interviewer Louis Theroux to recount her days in the pop group, which has had six members over the years, including the original (and current) line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, as well as former members Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah.

A source close to the project, which follows last year’s Boybands Forever, said: “Heidi has never spoken about what went on.

“Louis reached out to her directly and she finally agreed to take part a couple of weeks ago. It was an emotional interview and one that viewers will want to watch.”

Last year, the Sugababes were handed a gong at the Mobo Awards, but Heidi’s mum hit out after her daughter was “white-washed” from the nomination video.

She wrote on Instagram: “I can’t believe the cheek of it. Sugababes didn’t have a hit till Heidi joined. It is so false and disrespectful the way they are carrying on.”

Mutya hit back: “When I wasn’t in the group and the girls was doing big things without me, do you think I was getting upset about not being mentioned?”

A spokesman for the original trio declined to comment.

Forget the Suga – things might be about to turn very sour again.

THE Gentlemen actor Tom Rhys Harries has just landed the starring role in DC Studios’ Clayface, the villain and ally of Batman.

But I can reveal the Welsh hunk is also a leading man in American songwriter Amy Allen’s life.

The pair soft-launched their relationship on Instagram, with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy sharing snaps of their holiday to Spain.

A source told me: “Tom and Amy are in the honey-moon phase and are the new power couple in town.

“Tom is a rising star in the film industry and Amy has fast become the first person pop stars want to work with.”

Earlier this year, Amy scooped the Grammy Award for Songwriter Of The Year – the first woman to win the gong since its introduction in 2023.

Amy penned Sabrina Carpenter hit tracks Espresso and Please Please Please as well as co-writing Adore You and Matilda for Harry Styles.

Sounds like Tom and Amy will make sweet music together.

OLIVIA RODRIGO pulled off a dazzling performance at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.

The Good 4 U hitmaker wore a sparkly silver halter neck corset and mini skirt as she took to the stage on Friday.

Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP ROCKY are set to top the bill at the festival tonight.

In June, Olivia headlined Glastonbury, describing it as the “best weekend there ever was”.

I was there and can vouch for that.

CRUZ BECKHAM is taking his new band on tour next month, branding his indie music style as “nepo rock”.

With the amount of celeb offspring in music, nepo rock could be here to stay . . .
