“I put on the RBC Classic … and I could not believe the 18th hole when Scottie Scheffler was making a comeback against Matt Fitzpatrick. Did anyone see the crowd?” Russo began for his “What Are You Mad About” segment on Wednesday’s edition of ESPN’s “First Take.

“They were singing ‘USA, USA’ walking down the 18th fairway! This is not the Ryder Cup. We’re not fighting Britain in a war for crying out loud! In a golf tournament? At the RBC? [Fitzpatrick] freaking lives in Miami!.. This is not the ’80 Olympics!

Scheffler and Fitzpatrick both have starred in each of the previous three Ryder Cups, with Fitzpatrick’s European team winning the last two. Fitzpatrick and Scheffler faced off in Friday foursomes in the most recent event.

It is hardly the first time USA chants were heard at a regularly-sanctioned golf event. The aforementioned DeChambeau heard USA chants while going for his second U.S. Open against McIlroy. Scheffler went 1-4 in his five matches at Bethpage Black in September, beating Rory McIlroy 1 up in their Sunday singles match. Fitzpatrick squandered a 5 up lead to Bryson DeChambeau to finish all square.

The New York Ryder Cup crowd was blasted by media, and golfers, alike, which had been a concern even before the event. However, that criticism came due to much more than simple USA chants.

McIlroy was hit with the worst of it, whether it was telling him his wife was “a four,” asking about Amanda Balionis amid a previously rumored fling (with his wife mere feet away), dropping F-bombs, or constant reminders of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

Thankfully for Fitzpatrick, he didn’t get hit that hard. But the crowd still made it known who they were backing.

Perez Hilton reacts to report claiming Zoe Kravitz & Harry Styles don’t “share a bed” after “nearly a year” together

Published

Perez Hilton reacted to a report suggesting that Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles didn’t “share a bed” after “nearly a year” together. In an April 22 article published on his website, Hilton expressed surprise at the pace of their relationship,

He wrote:

“Harry Styles is taking it slow with Zoe Kravitz! Really slow…Since August 2025, the duo have been publicly linked together, and since then, they’ve taken their relationship to new levels…But not so fast — they don’t even actually share a bed yet! Huh??…Very strange, for sure…Especially since they’ve been together for nearly a year!”

In his report, Hilton went on to outline how the couple had frequently been seen together in public. He stated that the couple had “multiple appearances out and about together looking all loved-up and holding hands.” They had even traveled together on several occasions, and were even spotted together at “airports” ahead of flights.

Despite these visible signs of closeness, recent insider information suggested that the pair still maintained separate sleeping arrangements.

Hilton then detailed a specific incident in London. He shared what an onlooker claimed to have observed in the couple’s routine after a coffee date on April 19. According to the insider, Harry Styles escorted Zoe Kravitz to a hotel and dropped her off before returning to his own residence alone.

“Harry and Zoe might be spending time together by day but at night they’re sleeping apart. They were so loved-up in Hampstead, so it was odd the date ended with her going to a hotel and him heading home on his own,” Hilton added, citing what the insider told The US Sun.

The article further noted that, according to the same source, Styles maintained a courteous and attentive demeanor throughout their time together. Hilton relayed that the insider described him as “a proper gent,” adding that he returned the following day to pick Kravitz up for another outing, suggesting continued effort and interest in the relationship.

Reacting to the couple’s alleged living arrangement, Hilton said:

“But each to their own! Some couples do choose to live and sleep in separate arrangements! Hopefully, there aren’t any underlying issues going on here,” he remarked.

Zoe Kravitz sparked engagement rumors after she was photographed wearing a striking ring on her left hand while sharing a kiss with Harry Styles in London. The images, published on April 21 by The US Sun, fueled speculation about a possible next step in their relationship.

The actress had also been seen wearing the same ring during a previous outing with Styles on April 19.

According to a report published by People on April 21, the couple’s relationship dated back several months.

They were first linked in late August 2025. At the time, they were spotted walking arm in arm in Rome. At the time, a source described how Harry Styles had been spending time with Zoe Kravitz during her professional commitments.

“He’s been spending time with her while she’s been on her [Caught Stealing] press run,” the source said (as per People Magazine)

By September 2025, the pair appeared to grow closer. They were photographed together in New York City, where they reportedly met Zoe Kravitz’s father, Lenny Kravitz, for lunch.

An insider detailed the relaxed and positive atmosphere of the meeting, noting that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves

“Everyone looked like they had a great time. She’s also been introducing Harry to friends. This feels more than casual,” the insider told People.

In December, another source described how the couple had been spending significant time together in Italy,

“Harry’s been spending long stretches of time in Rome this year. Zoe has joined him several times since late summer,” the source said.

The same insider also offered insight into the couple’s dynamic, emphasizing their shared preference for a low-key lifestyle and strong personal connection. The insider said that the couple “just stroll around, meet up with friends, and live a very relaxed life” and had “great chemistry.”

In early 2026, a source explained that while both Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles had “busy schedules that don’t always line up,” they were making deliberate efforts to stay connected.


While engagement rumors continue to circulate, neither Zoe Kravitz nor Harry Styles’ representatives has issued any official statement.
