A source tells PEOPLE their relationship evolved while making the drama.
"What started out as a close friendship, quickly turned romantic," the source says. "Everyone saw it coming. During breaks, he's hasn't been able to stay away and visited her trailer."
Styles, 26, was seen visiting Wilde's trailer during filming, standing just outside the door wearing a mask while Wilde, 36, leaned out to chat with her star. Wilde was seen smiling several times as the two remained in costume for the movie.

In Styles' recent cover story for Vogue's December issue, Wilde explained why she was so excited for the "Watermelon Sugar" singer to bring his enthusiasm to her "incredibly stylistic" movie. Don't Worry Darling counts on Academy Award nominee designer Arianne Phillips (A Single Man) for costume design.
“She and I did a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film, because we knew that he has a real appreciation for fashion and style," Wilde said of her and Phillips' reaction. "And this movie is incredibly stylistic. It’s very heightened and opulent, and I’m really grateful that he is so enthusiastic about that element of the process—some actors just don’t care.”
“To me, he’s very modern,” said Wilde of Styles, “and I hope that this brand of confidence as a male that Harry has—truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity—is indicative of his generation and therefore the future of the world. I think he is in many ways championing that, spearheading that. It’s pretty powerful and kind of extraordinary to see someone in his position redefining what it can mean to be a man with confidence.”
