Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski had been “getting to know each other for some time” before their make-out session on the streets of Tokyo came to light.
Over the weekend footage emerged of the 29-year-old singer and supermodel, 31, kissing openly near a car while dancing together on a street in the Japanese capital.
While the video came as a surprise to fans, it has been reported that the couple have been getting to know each other for a while now.
A source told The Sun: “Harry and Emily are enjoying getting to know each other.
“Getting filmed kissing in Tokyo and then that footage being shared with the world wasn’t what either of them expected – but they aren’t hiding anything.
“Harry and Emily have been getting to know each other for some time now. They spent some time together out of the public eye this year and are just enjoying each other’s company when they can while Harry is on tour.”

The Standard has contacted Harry Styles and Emily Ratajkowski’s reps for comment.
The reports come after the pair sparked dating rumours after MailOnline obtained video of the pair dancing together on a street in Tokyo and kissing openly near a car.
Styles appeared to be wearing a black suit with a white shirt, while Ratajkowski wore a short red puffer coat and a black skirt.
“I did not see this coming,” one person wrote, while another simply tweeted: “Quietly sobbing.”
A third joked: “Please delete this video of my boyfriend.”
Styles is currently on his aptly titled Love on Tour world tour and performed in Japan’s capital city earlier this week.
The former One Direction star most recently dated actress Olivia Wilde, 39, before their November break-up.
Model and actress Ratajkowski split from her filmmaker husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, 34, last September. The pair share two-year-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear.
She was recently dating comedian Eric Andrew and posted a photograph of them together while semi-nude on Valentine’s Day. However, she hinted at the end of the “situationship” three days later.
Previously, Ratajkowski attended Styles’ concert in Paris last June and was seated alongside his ex Wilde, and recently hung out with the Booksmart director at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
