Harry Styles of One Direction may be only 19 years old but he knows that he likes his women with a bit more experience, older. He is now believed to be dating Kimberly Stewart, the 33-year-old daughter of music icon Rod Stewart.

Word of a new romance started making the rounds over the weekend, after the two were photographed going out for dinner with her entire family.

The next day, Harry left the Stewart compound to go and grab coffee and, as we also reported at the time, Kimberly was in the car with him, though she made a real effort to not be seen.

If there were any doubts left about their relationship, one insider confirms for E! News that they’re really dating.

Apparently, she is “exactly his type.”

“They were introduced by a mutual friend who set them up,” the source says of how the two met and clicked.

“Kim is very strong willed, she goes for what she wants and Harry appreciates that. It is a very new thing and we'll see where it goes,” the source continues.

During the family dinner, which seems to have served the purpose of introducing Kimberly’s new lover to her family, the two acted like a loved-up couple, another source says for the same publication.

“Kim and Harry sat next to one another [and he was] very cuddly with her. He had his arm around her,” the tipster shares.

Kimberly has a daughter by actor Benicio del Toro, while Harry was linked to a string of gorgeous – and, yes, older – women since he shot to international fame with the One Direction band.

Most recently, he dated Taylor Swift for a short while, but he dumped her because she turned out to be “a real pain,” allegedly. She’s been single since then.
