Poker face Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are pictured together for the first time since DailyMail.com’s amazing interview with the actress’s former nanny.
The pair both looked gloomy as they dined at LA restaurant Pace Wednesday night, with onlookers telling DailyMail.com that the usually tactile pair barely exchanged a glance over dinner.
After dinner they went to see the band Wolf Alice play at the Wiltern Theater.
Wilde, 38, wore a simple black mini dress and boots, while the flamboyant singer Styles, 28, chose a blue knit tank top and checkered jeans for the early evening meal.
Though the actress laughed and chatted with friends who came to eat with the couple, an observer told DailyMail.com that the As It Was singer was serious during the meal — which lasted just over an hour — and seemed withdrawn.
The pair even sat apart as they left, when Styles got into the driver’s seat and Wilde jumped in the back and let a male friend drive a shotgun.
Located close to Styles’ LA home, Pace, an Italian restaurant in Laurel Canyon, has a “cozy, romantic” atmosphere and serves a menu of pasta and pizza made with “locally sourced and organic ingredients.”
Wilde was previously photographed at the neighboring Canyon Country Store — also on Nov. 13, 2020, just three days after allegedly dumping ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis, leaving him distraught.
The new photos come after days of embarrassing revelations from Sudeikis and Wilde’s former nanny who witnessed the bitter breakup firsthand.

Wilde had insisted the split was a mutual decision and came in January 2020, but the nanny has challenged the 38-year-old’s timeline, saying it came much later and was far from mutual.
On Wednesday, DailyMail.com published photos of the ex-couple together in Malibu on September 8, 2020, where Wilde can smile fondly at Sudeikis and wear her vintage emerald and diamond engagement ring.
While Wilde insisted that her relationship with Sudeikis ended long before she began dating Styles in October 2020, the nanny pointed to the couple’s Labor Day beach trip just two months earlier when she saw her wearing her engagement ring.
She began filming Don’t Worry Darling with Styles a month later and was seen ‘dizzy’ around the British star on set by the nanny.
Then, in early November 2020, Wilde moved out of the family’s $4 million home in the Silver Lake area of LA, citing an on-set Covid outbreak, and settled at the $1,650-a-night Paramour Estate Hotel in LA.
Wilde then ended her engagement to Sudeikis — leaving him in shock and distraught — before going out with Styles in January 2021 when they were photographed together at his agent’s wedding in Montecito, California.
The 38-year-old actress and film director has always insisted she and Sudeikis split up in early 2020, telling Vanity Fair last month, “Our relationship was over long before I met Harry.”
She added that it was a ‘horse**t’ idea that she had ‘left Jason for Harry’ and claimed the couple had decided to co-parent for as long as possible during Covid to make it easier for their children .

Although Olivia seemed relaxed and happy talking to their friends outside the restaurant, Harry kept the same very tight lips and didn’t seem to smile once when they were seen outside.

But the nanny, who has looked after Otis, now eight, and Daisy, six, for three years, said her September 2020 beach trip with the couple and their children proves this isn’t the case.
Look at her ring on Labor Day Weekend (2020). We were in Malibu on Labor Day Weekend,” she told DailyMail.com.
“This was just before she started seeing Harry. She’s wearing her engagement ring from Jason and smiling while at the beach.”
Sudeikis proposed to Wilde in 2013 after three years with a diamond ring surrounded by a halo of emeralds.
Olivia said of the ring’s history at the time: “All they know is that he passed through Paris around 1921. I love imagining the story of this ring. Who had it? It’s a bit of an aqua emerald, not a deep dark green. Jason said it reminded him of my eyes, which is very sweet.’
Despite her claim that the relationship was over, Wilde reportedly didn’t discuss her wedding plans until October 2020, according to the former nanny.
The sitter said she had detailed plans for daughter Daisy to act as flower girl at the ceremony that was supposed to take place “within a year.”
