Ilya + enthusiastic eating

+ 1: Consistency is key

Wow. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I actually finally got this timeline done almost 6 months after I posted January 2012. That’s in part to album promo, the holidays, etc., but also due, in large part, to the scope and length of this timeline. As I’ve progressed through 2011 and into 2012, there are much more articles, tweets, pictures and videos to wade through and make sense of. 

But I think this one will be worth it.

August 2011 was what I call “bulletproof weeks.” February 2012 had a similar feel. Harry had “broken up” with Caroline at the very end of January (the same day he flew to America to start his American career wow what a coincidence) and Louis and Eleanor were barely half-assing it. These 4 weeks are so important, as I believe they were the last weeks they had where they were able to publicly display the reality and nature of their relationship without a lot of negative consequences. 

And they did not hold back.

NOTES: 

SKI TRIP PICTURE SOURCES: Louis and Eleanor left for France on their skiing trip the 7th and were gone until the 12th. Louis tweeted the only picture of him and Eleanor together on the last day around 11:15AM. He used twitpic to tweet the picture, which is notable because he only ever uploaded 5 pictures to his twitpic account. He tweeted one of his outfits during the X Factor boot camp in 2010, then didn’t use it again until the summer of 2011 when he tweeted another X Factor related picture while he was at one of the auditions. He then tweeted the 2 pictures he and Eleanor supposedly drew together in November 2011 and this ski picture. In addition, he tweeted a picture earlier in the week using yfrog, the picture service he used much more frequently up until that point. Why switch? Most notably, the picture he tweeted using twitpic was the only picture of him and Eleanor Louis’ account has ever directly tweeted. If you go through the other pictures posted directly on his Twitter, 90% of them are promo-related. Just putting that out there. 

VALENTINE’S DAY: To summarize, Harry did go out with Nick and Alexa after Nick’s show on the night of the 14th. In an article from the Daily Mail published on the 17th, it says "After Grimshaw’s show where he interviewed another one of his celebrity pals Alexa Chung, the pair went out on the tiles with Styles." Alexa was on Nick’s show that night and Splash News published the pictures the next morning. 

MARIO KART: See this post. I think it’s possible Harry & Louis were still irritated by the events of Valentine’s Night and weren’t afraid to let it be known. 

HARRY & NICK: This month marked the beginning of the very public Harry Styles & Nick Grimshaw friendship played out in the press. While they had hung out much less publicly before, the pap events and Harry’s call-ins to Nick’s show began during the days after the Caroline split and leading up to One Direction’s American tour. Most of the articles published around these events portrayed Harry as "out on the prowl” for new ladies. 

THE BRITS: See this post.

THEIR SCHEDULE: I just want to point out the craziiness of their schedule this month. They began the month on a promo trip to LA, Louis spent 5 days in France, had a night home, then was off to Sweden and France for 2 days with the band. The band got back late Valentine’s night, then had 2 full promo days in London, then went back to Italy for a day. Harry had LFW events for 2 days in a row. Then, the band went back to France for a day, had the Brits the next day, rehearsals the day after that, more LFW events for Harry, and then flew to America the next day. And the last 6 weeks have been the first time in 24 months they’ve had a time to catch their breath. 

AMERICA - THE FIRST 2 DAYS: The first 2 days of the American leg of the Big Time Rush tour were different than the days that followed. They were more subdued…especially the Detroit radio appearance. They seemed comparatively more careful, more willing to appease their handlers and reign it in. But after Detroit, something changed. 

AMERICA - WELCOME TO THE HARRY & LOUIS SHOW: Harry & Louis woke up in Toronto on the 26th without any fucks to give if people thought they were in a relationship. The next 4 days seemed a race to outdo the next with iconic moments and tweets and dates and they didn’t let up for anyone or anything.

“ How did you and Eleanor meet?

Eleanor was a friend of Harry’s. He worked with her friend at a local bakery. One day, Harry met up with his friend, Eleanor came, and we met.

 -What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for a girl?

I can’t really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.” x

“I’m a one-woman man with Eleanor. I can be a romantic — but not too sickly.

Aside from the fact that she’s hot, she had everything that I was looking for. She’s funny, loud and confident. I’m not the type of guy who enjoys being single. I’m happy with the way things are with Eleanor. I told her I loved her after five months. I didn’t just want up one day and think I was in love — I knew it in my heart.” x

“It’s a little daunting. At the end of the day if you want it to work, it will work. It just requires probably more effort. If your heart’s in it, then you’re not gonna mess about.

[The hate towards her] is really strange and the majority (of fans) don’t have hate towards her.  It gets a little frustrating seeing that, especially when I’m in a happy relationship. But at the end of the day, I am happy and Eleanor is happy, so there’s not really that much more that matters. x

“-You’ve been with your girlfriend Eleanor for a year. What do you love about her?

She studies politics at university and when she sits and talks about that, I find it really attractive. I think it’s important for both of you to have independence. I feel like if she didn’t have that and wasn’t striving for a good career, it’d be weird.

-Do you worry about her meeting other men at uni?

She’s gorgeous, but no, I don’t. We both trust each other— I spend a lot of time out of the country on tour. She often flies out so I see her a lot. I think the key to a good relationship is being best friends too. I spend more time with her and the band than I do with anyone else… She’s really great.” x

”Eleanor’s really down to earth. She makes me fish finger sandwiches and it’s great to do something normal after the madness of the tour. All my mates are at university, and it’s a life I haven’t had a chance to enjoy, so it’s great to turn up and sample a bit of it.“ x

″I think it was probably tough at first for her, taking up such a big commitment, being in a limelight. But she handles it great and we’re really really happy together” x

“-How are things with you and your girlfriend Eleanor?

Without sounding too soppy, I’m incredibly happy. The great thing about our relationship is I was already in the band when we started seeing each other. It makes things easier, because she knows the way it is. She’s great with it. She’s really easy-going with that sort of thing, which is so important.

-Are you a romantic?

Definitely, yeah.

-Is marriage on the cards for you two one day?

Who knows. It’s still early days, but as I say I’m very, very happy.

-Does it annoy you that some so-called fans think you and Eleanor aren’t real?

Yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious when you see us together that we’re real. Think of the amount of time I spend with her - it’s crazy I even have to say it’s genuine. But the truth is, these people aren’t our real fans, that’s the way I look at it anyway. So many people come to singings with presents for Eleanor, but you got this small number who want to say bad things.”x/x

“I’m sure if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that every now and again I’m quite outspoken. I think it’s important to speak your mind, and I’ve had a few rants recently. You know, people who have been horrible to my girlfriend Eleanor and to my mum, and I just don’t think people should be able to get away with it. I don’t go to bed and worry about it, I just think that people if they want to be like that, should be put in their place.” x

“-Describe your perfect day.

I’d like to go back home and do the kind of things I used to do before the band. I’d go and have a kick around with my friend Stan and my other friends from school. I’d spend some time with my family and have dinner at my grandma’s house and then have the evening to chill out with my girlfriend.

-What’s your favourite way to relax away from all the stress?

I like having a bath, then lying in bed watching a good film. If I’m watching a film with my girlfriend I don’t mind a rom-com, but when I’m on my own I like action movies that keep you on edge.

-What qualities are most important in a potential girlfriend?

Someone who doesn’t take life too seriously and likes to take a risk. I like to do things on the spur of the moment. I decided to go to Ibiza for one night recently so I jumped on the plane and my girlfriend came with me. I love that ‘lets just do it’ attitude. It’s also important that someone totally trusts you and is your friend above anything else. They’ve also got to have a good sense of humour because the only way I can pull girls is by making them laugh”

The most romantic thing Louis has ever done is buy his girlfriend a ticket to LA because she was missing him x

“ @niallspudding: @Louis_Tomlinson do you know you’re very lucky to have eleonor? xx

@Louis_Tomlinson: @niallspudding I think it everyday :) x “

2013

“It’s so great, couldn’t be better. I sometimes worry that she might want to go and find a boyfriend who’s there every day. Obviously, it’s not easy having a long-term relationship in this job, but it frustrates me when people say it’s impossible. It’s definitely doable, it’s down to the people and whether they want to make it work enough. 

-Do you go to extreme lengths, flying across the continents to see each other even for a short time?

Absolutely. Whenever there’s a gap in the schedule, that’s always my first thought. Not many days have to go by before I really start missing her, so sometimes - even if it’s just the odd day - I’ve flown back from the show, had a day in London and then flown back again. 

-That’s a commitment!

Yes, but it keeps you sane. It’s important to have that one person I can confide in and be close to. We trust each other completely and the relationship wouldn’t work if we didn’t. We’re really loved up” x

”Things really bother me when they upset my family or Eleanor. I think I’m quite thick-skinned but if you’re going to do or say that, f*** you. She gets pretty intimidated by it all. I mean, who wouldn’t? She can’t have Twitter or anything like that. I can’t expect her to deal with some of the stuff so easily. But I couldn’t be happier with her.” x

“Every night before go sleep I always talk to my girlfriend, Eleanor.” x

“-For your girlfriend specifically, how does she handle your die heart One Direction fans when they see her, when they tweet her, in concerts? 

Yeah, it’s tough to deal with but she’s a great girl and she gets it” x

“-How do you keep your feet on the ground, amid all the success and fame you have?

I try and see my girlfriend as much as possible. She’s at Manchester University so I like going down there, to her student digs, because it’s really nice way to get away from all the craziness of being in One Direction. 

-Do you think it’s even more important to make sure you see her and your family when you’re living this crazy, pop-star life?

Yeah, I think it’s so important to keep in touch with the people who matter to you. I can’t bear to be away from Eleanor, my mum or my sisters for too long. If I had a normal job, I’d see them all the time but I don’t see them that often so when I get the chance to I’ve got to make sure I do.

-Is jealousy ever an issue, especially when you have hordes of girls throwing themselves at you?

It can be, and that’s why I’ve always been so vocal about my relationship with Eleanor because obviously there are opportunities of being in a boy band - if you wanted lots of girlfriends. But I don’t, so that doesn’t bother me because I’m very, very happy with Eleanor.” x

“Louis Tomlinson, 21, one of the three members of the band in a serious relationship, nods when I ask what his dream is.

‘Absolutely honestly? It’s sitting in my garden at home with my girlfriend on a lovely quiet morning, having a cup of tea.’” x

2014

“It was an incredible trip. As soon as we back I said to my girlfriend, ‘I’ve got to take you out there one day because I think it would be such a great experience.’ For anyone, in fact. I was genuinely sad when we left because those people were so cool. They totally blew me away, and their attitude in the face of such poverty was pretty incredible. They have this real sense of community, which, in a way, is all they’ve got”. (About his experience on his trip to Ghana for Comic Relief).

“Away from football I also went on a songwriting trip to LA with Liam, and spent some time with my girlfriend and our dog. Just doing really nice, normal stuff”.  (About what he did during his time off).

“The movie premiere was a real laugh too! That was a big deal, and the huge crowd at Leicester Square was amazing. I remember saying to Niall, ‘Mate this is just the best, can you believe how far this band has come, this is Leicester Square!’ It was a very proud day for us - all our families came, my mum, my little sisters, and my girlfriend”.  (About the This Is Us movie premiere in Leicester Square). x

“I know she loves me. When you’ve met your life partner, you always know, and Eleanor is mine.” x

2015

“-What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?

So once with one of my ex girlfriends I made my back garden into a winter wonderland for Christmas, with like fake snow and stuff.” x

2017

“That’s my girlfriend!!!” - Louis after saving Eleanor from being attacked at the airport.

“Thank you for always supporting Eleanor . She’s fucking amazing isn’t she !!” - Louis’ message to twitter fan account of Eleanor

“I know me mum wouldn’t want me to walk around being gloomy all the time, so I try my best just to pick myself up when I can. Of course, there are times … and that’s why Eleanor has been so fantastic for me.” x

“Who was the last person you texted?

Probably my girlfriend Eleanor” x

“There’s a couple of songs that me and my girlfriend really like that’ll never be used for anything, so they’re kind of just for us. That’s really nice.

-Are they ones you’ve written for her?

A lot of the album’s about her, really. I wanted to make the album feel chronological, because that’s how I wrote it. You can hear my journey as an individual over these three years - leaving the band, then going out on to the really crazy party scene, and then I’ve kind of ended up full circle back with Eleanor, who I love dearly.” x

“I spent, you know, 18 months… 2 years of my life just kind of really different to the past - just went out all the time, parting, drinking all the time, whatever.  And then I kinda realized that I was a bit of an idiot during those times, and I found my way back to my girlfriend.” x

"I want the album to feel chronological essentially, so, like, this album’s pretty much about the last three years of my life. You know, the break of the band, and then me going into that party mode all the time, which wasn’t really me, and then, like, you know, kind of understanding that, and getting back together with Eleanor.” x

"I think once you hear the stuff on the rest of the album, you’ll know which songs are about the fans, you’ll know which songs are about me girlfriend.” - Louis on whether someone could walk up to him and tell him his songs are about them 

“-You said you’ve written a song about your fans. Can you tell us anything more about that one? It’s kinda collective. It’s kinda like me and everyone in this song that kinda says: ‘we’ve done this together’. So you know you can kinda lay that back to my girlfriend, to the fans, to my friends. It’s kinda just everyone who’s helped me along the journey, really.“ x

”[Back To You] is not written from personal experience. ‘Cause ironically I’m back together with my ex-girlfriend now, and I’m very happy” x

“The song (BTY) is about… they might not be great for each other but for whatever reason through whatever hardships they just keep coming back to each other.

-And you’re not one of them? Are you telling us that?

I’m definitely not one of them. I’ve got an unbelievable girlfriend that I’m not pissed off that I’ve come back to” x”

“I would never describe Eleanor as that person in that relationship. That relationship (in BTY) is very intense. Maybe they’re not right for each other, maybe they are… And that’s certainly not the case for me and Eleanor. I mean, she’s ace! I could see where you’ve drawn the similarity but that’s where it ends. I’m sure you’ll see when the album comes, there’s a bit of soppiness to follow. ” x

“There’s the song that’s probably my favourite I’ve ever written, that’s very personal to me, called “Always You” that I’ve got on the album. -What’s it about? It’s about Eleanor, my girlfriend.“ x

"There’s another song on the album called Always You and it’s kind of about my story of travelling the world and just being a f*****g idiot and going, ‘Of course it was always you’. Here’s the thing, when you listen to my album, you won’t have to read between the lines. You’ll know what’s about Eleanor, you’ll know what’s about me, you’ll know what’s about the fans, you know it might hint a little bit about the relationship with my mum. I want to make everything as honest and obvious as possible” x

”-Whose opinion do you rely on the most after you’ve completed the track? Who do you wanna play it first? Who I rely on it’s a difficult question but I always, always make a habit of playing my music to my girlfriend, to my best friend Oli, to my friends like lets say for a lads trip and I say like ‘guys, what you think of this’ coz it’s very important to me” x

“I just took my girlfriend for her birthday to Amsterdam and it was absolutely lovely! 

 -Do you make holiday friends?

Honestly, I’m not.. my girlfriend’s really good at that… ” x

“-Can you tell me what your view is on these people who are obsessed by a “Larry” conspiracy?

I’ve never actually been asked about it directly. It’s a funny thing. People can believe what they want to believe. It comes across as a little bit disrespectful to the ones that I love, like Eleanor. It’s like anything, if you google a conspiracy on iphones, you’re gonna get a conspiracy. It’s one of those things people love to buy into, but in reality, obviously there’s no truth to it, obviously. x

“Last person you texted?

Eleanor, my girlfriend” x

"There was definitely a time when I probably had some of the smelliest feet in the country coz I didn’t wear socks… It was one of those things like early days of going out with me girlfriend - you know what I mean - going around to her mum’s house. They’re very nice family, posh family, and I was thinking: “I’ve got to take my shoes off, really, but my feet… ” It was really difficult but luckily now as you can see I’m a big sock wearer! The feet are safe!!!

This is the inner Doncaster/Yorkshireman in me - I went through a stage of - and I mean this in the least yobbie way - borrowing, taking, stealing, whatever you want to call it different things, random things from places. There was also this hotel we stayed in in Sweden, where there’s like - it’s not real, but it looks like this stuffed goose. Took that, that’s in me girlfriend’s mum’s house now.” x

“-What was the last text that you’ve send? That’s gonna get me in some trouble… Let’s have a look… It’s to me girlfriend saying: ‘Haha’. That’s a bit boring and trivial, isn’t it? There you go.” x

"I wrote this song (Miss You) about a time in my life when I was going out partying every night. In hindsight throughout that time I was pretty numb and just going through the motions. Deep down it was always in the back of my mind that what I really missed was the girl that I loved.” x

“It does really upset me to see all this shit about Eleanor. She has been my rock throughout an impossible time !!” x

2018

“He [Louis] also dated actress Danielle Campbell before getting back with Eleanor, who he says he would happily bring on to the panel now Robbie and Ayda have led the way” - x

2019

“There have been times where me and my girlfriend listened to the [1D] albums. Those moments are special and each song takes you back to a certain place. I couldn’t be prouder” x

” -First person you talked to today? Well it’ll probably be me girlfriend Eleanor.

I’m lucky to have really really good people around me. My family are amazing, I got great friends, me girlfriend’s amazing, my boy’s amazing, so I ’ve got so many people around me to make me constantly feel good and responsible. That keeps me going, definitely.

-You did get back with your girlfriend Eleanor quite soon after your mum died. And I wonder if she was an important part of you being able to have a little bit of solidity in a difficult time?

Yes, she was and has continued to be absolutely vital to me. We got to see me mum as well together before she passed. It was really special, really special. Yeah, I love her to bits, man!!! When you’re going through the most devastating time, you need people around you that you love and that hopefully love you, you know what I mean. It’s a nice feeling, man, to find her again, so to speak.

-I read something the other day about couples that break up for a period and come back together are often the strongest. So, Louis, do you think she’s the one, someone who you’d like to marry, who you’d like to settle down with?

I do think she’s the one, yeah, I do, I do, yeah.  She’s amazing for me. And also I think, when you go through quite a hard time together, that gives you a different level of a relationship. It’s deeper than it was before. So I’m very lucky, man, very lucky. She’s a top girl.” x

“-What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?

I’m actually quite romantic, you know? I am, I am. When I first met me girlfriend - I’m a horrific cook, a very very bad cook. I give it a go, you know what I mean, I try. So I said to her: I’ll make you a nice meal. I made her a meal, and honestly… She did all the polite things and said it was lovely. I obviously tasted it too - it was awful, it was awful! Really poor! It was like some chicken wrapped in some like parma ham stuffed with a little bit of mozzarella - very ambitious for the level of cook I am.” x

“Tomlinson recalls how once, for his long-time girlfriend Eleanor Calder’s Christmas present (they broke up in 2015, but reunited in 2017), “I made this winter wonderland in my garden in London, with fake snow and a massive ice rink… I was like, ‘Surprise!’ as if I’d win best boyfriend of the year. In hindsight it was stupid, but fun at the same time”. x

“The singer says new tune We Made It is also partly about the times he slinked off to girlfriend Eleanor Calder’s digs, despite being a global superstar.

‘The lyrics are about a time when I was visiting my girlfriend Eleanor at university in Manchester, drawing on that experience of being on the road in a world tour then going to my girlfriend’s halls and living that life with her,’ he said.

Louis briefly broke-up with Eleanor, 27, but they are back together and she remains his biggest cheerleader.

‘She is dead proud of me,’ he said.’ x

“Oh absolutely, definitely! Me best mate and me girlfriend - they are the two people who always hear the songs first, I always get their opinion on. I mean, naturally, when the topic of lyric is about Eleanor - you know what I mean, I’m hoping she likes it. And she does, yeah, yeah!”  - Louis on whether he’s asked Eleanor’s opinion on We Made It before anyone else 

2020

About his song ‘Walls’ -  “ Walls is more specific. It’s about coming home having been on tour, soon after we’d split. I found some of my girlfriend’s clothes in the cupboard and it hit me what I’d done.” x

“Louis new single, Walls, recounts his experiences of love and loss. It is a clearly autobiographical reflection on his life over the last decade, which has seen him fall in love with his childhood sweetheart, Eleanor Calder, before splitting in 2015, and reconciling two years ago. In the years in between he fathered his first child, a son, with a US stylist but the pair soon separated and his romance with model Eleanor is now so strong marriage rumours have begun to swirl, although he’s quick to insist they are premature. 

He explains: “Yeh I saw some of that. It isn’t true, but the luxury with Eleanor is I’ve known her since before our first single What Makes You Beautiful, so she’s felt the whole growth of everything. As I’ve got to understand it, she has too, and I have the benefit with her that we’ve seen it for what it is.

So is marriage a possibility? He adds: “One day, yeah, I’d imagine so. If you’re asking me if I’m going to marry her? Yes, I think so! And more kids, I’d say so.” x

“She’s been amazing. With any monumental time in your life you need people who understand and love you. She makes my life easier.”

In 2015 they split up for nearly two years during which time Louis became a dad to Freddie, now four, following a brief fling with LA stylist Briana Jungwirth.

The track Too Young is almost an apology to Eleanor for that period (“I’m sorry I hurt you, darling… I cut you off cos I didn’t know no better”), but Louis says the time apart taught him some tough lessons and has made them stronger.

“I think we both agree that we needed [that break]. I was too immature for a relationship of that seriousness. But I had to learn that and be an idiot first.

“A lot of young men won’t understand until they have hindsight. The responsibility of meeting someone you could spend the rest of your life with at 18 is too much for most immature men. I was very immature at that → age and didn’t understand the feelings or importance.”

He and Eleanor guard their privacy ferociously and very deliberately haven’t made themselves a public couple. They don’t go to places where they’ll get papped or post pictures of each other on social media.

“Me and Eleanor have been together ages and I don’t have a lot of private photos for myself,” he says. “Even on a night out there’ll be some f**ker taking my picture and it goes everywhere.
