Harry Styles' Goddaughter Ruby Winston Featured On Hit Single

Harry Styles

Harry Styles’ goddaughter Ruby Winston, who is just a young elementary school student, has already made her mark in the music industry with a hit single. The now 7-year-old lent her voice to the opening words of Styles' track 'As It Was,' saying, 'Come on Harry, we want to say goodnight to you!'

Styles shared that Ruby used to call him every night before bedtime, and when he missed a call, she sent him a voice memo that eventually found its way into the song. The singer revealed that he was captivated by the recording and decided to include it in the track.

Ruby is the daughter of Ben Winston, a close friend of Styles and the executive producer of various popular shows. Styles and Winston's friendship dates back to the One Direction days, with Winston working on the band's videos and documentary film.

Ruby was born on December 5, 2016, and her birth was announced by Winston on Instagram with a heartwarming photo. Styles even lived with Winston and his family in suburban London for over a year, creating lasting memories.

Ruby's adorable intro on 'As It Was' has become a standout moment in Styles' discography. The voice recording, captured in a private setting, adds a personal touch to the song.

Despite the song's success, Ruby's appearance at the Grammy Awards alongside Styles was ruled out by her father. Winston expressed pride in his daughter's contribution to the hit song and looks forward to the day when she fully comprehends the impact of her involvement at such a young age.

Ruby welcomed a younger sister, Grace, on October 10, 2019, making Winston a proud father of two daughters. He shared his joy on social media, celebrating the arrival of his second child.

With Ruby's early success in the music industry and her supportive family background, she is poised for a bright future ahead, carrying on the legacy of her father's work in the entertainment industry.
