Harry Styles sparks family plans with Taylor Russell as he turns 30

Exclusive sources close to Styles, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday, reveal to DailyMailthat he is poised for a new chapter in his life with Taylor Russell, seeking a retreat from the public eye as he embarks on what lies ahead.

In recent months, he has chosen to retreat to London's Hampstead Heath, where he reportedly owns two adjacent mansions valued at a combined $16 million.

Here, in the tranquil surroundings, Styles has been spending time with his partner, Russell, indulging in regular swims in the nearby bathing ponds.

Last September, amidst a sweltering heatwave in London, he caused a stir as photographs captured him taking a refreshing dip in the north of the city.

Away from public scrutiny, the pop star's choice of location intrigued many: Hampstead Heath's men's only bathing pond, historically known as a popular gay cruising spot.

Although nude sunbathing is no longer allowed on the sundeck as of last year, the open-air changing rooms and shared shower facilities remain accessible.

Styles, known for his embrace of gender ambiguity reminiscent of David Bowie, has amassed significant wealth, now estimated at $190 million.
