Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are sparking engagement rumors, with the actress-director spotted multiple times rocking a massive diamond on her left ring finger.

The pop star, 32, and the 37-year-old Emmy nominee were spotted wandering in London in recent days, and Kravitz’s left ringer was adorned with a prominent diamond, according to photos published by multiple outlets Tuesday.

Representatives for the couple, whose romance was confirmed in August, did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment.

An insider in December told People that the “American Girls” crooner and “Blink Twice” director share “great chemistry,” and “just stroll around [Rome], meet up with friends and live a very relaxed life.”

An insider told the outlet earlier this year that they appear “very serious and focused on prioritizing time together.”

The relationship has also caught the eye of Taylor Swift fans, given she’s friends with Kravitz and much of her hit 2014 album, “1989,” is believed to have reflected on her own romance with Styles.

It was reported earlier this month that the “Big Little Lies” star is expected to attend Swift’s upcoming nuptials to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

This would be the third engagement for Kravitz, who was married to actor Karl Glusman from June 2019 until late 2020. She was engaged to Channing Tatum from October 2023 to October 2024.

Blake Lively wants court to hear Justin Baldoni’s comments about her weight

NEW YORK — Blake Lively wants a Manhattan federal court to hear Justin Baldoni’s alleged comments about her weight when their nearly 18-month legal battle comes to a head at trial next month.

The “Gossip Girl” star, 38, sued her 42-year-old “It Ends with Us” director and co-star at the end of 2024, alleging sexual harassment on the set of the domestic violence drama. Lively claims Baldoni’s camp then waged a retaliatory smear campaign to bury her claims. He filed a since-tossed $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, as well as a since-dismissed $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times for its deep dive into Lively’s side of the story.

Earlier this month, Judge Lewis Liman dismissed most of Lively’s claims, including those relating to harassment, as he dubbed her an independent contractor — rather than an employee — who could not file the complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Lively subsequently said she’s grateful that “the pervasive RETALIATION I faced” will still be on trial when they head to court on May 18.

In her initial complaint, Lively — who filmed the movie while postpartum after welcoming her and Reynolds’ fourth child — accused Baldoni of having “routinely degraded” her through “back channel ways of criticizing her body and weight.” She claimed he “secretly called her fitness trailer … and implied that he wanted her to lose weight in two weeks.”

In this month’s court documents, viewed by the Daily News, Lively’s camp argues: “Baldoni’s weight-related comments are plainly relevant to Lively’s FEHA retaliation claim,” referring to California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.

“The weight-related comments form part of the context in which Lively experienced and assessed Baldoni’s conduct and therefore bear directly on the reasonableness of her belief that she was opposing unlawful behavior,” the filing states.

Lively doubled down that she merely wants to convey her “state of mind” at that time and denied Baldoni’s claim that she’s just looking to frame him “in a negative light or suggest a propensity to engage in inappropriate behavior.”

The court documents added that, even if a given comment was not “itself harassing, or whether Lively could have reasonably believed it to be so,” it remains relevant as “‘sexual harassment claims must be viewed based on the totality of the circumstances.”

It’s unclear where Liman will come down on this particular issue.

Eminem celebrates 18 years of sobriety; Big Sean, others offer support

Eminem is celebrating 18 years of getting sober.

The Detroit rapper commemorated his 18th anniversary of sobriety on Monday by posting a photo of his newly earned sobriety coin.

“XVIII,” he posted, along with an emoji of a medal. The picture showed him holding up the coin while wearing a T-shirt featuring the cover of D-Nice’s 1991 album “To Tha Rescue.”

The comments on his post were full of supporters, from Questlove to Flavor Flav to Big Sean, who said “yessir! Keep it up” to his multiple-time collaborator.

D-Nice weighed in and zeroed in on Eminem’s apparel. “Congrats my man! BTW, Nice T-shirt!” he wrote.

Eminem’s sobriety dates back to 2008. On “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” a song off his 2009 “Relapse” album, he raps, “I just got my one year sobriety coin chip / when the bad get going, how bad does the going get?”

He detailed his struggles with drugs and alcohol in many songs, as well as in his 2025 documentary, “Stans.”

Last week, Eminem became a grandfather for the second time, after his daughter Alaina gave birth to her first child.
