Is Harry Styles Jewish?

Harry Styles is not a Jew. Styles, of the British boy band One Direction, is not Jewish.

Although there have been rumors that he is partially Jewish, his father says that he is not. In August 2013, Harry Styles of One Direction stopped by one of Manhattan’s most popular kosher restaurants, Le Marais. Styles was seen wearing a blue knit yarmulke with his name on it. The kippah was a gift from director Ben Winston. Harry Styles also has a tattoo spelling his sister Gemma’s name in Hebrew.

However, Styles father Des Styles posted the unequivocal answer to the question of Harry Styles' Jewishness on Twitter writing, “Still lots of queries asking if H is some % Jewish? No idea where any rumours came from in but, categorically, he is 0% Jewish. Not at all.”

According to Wikipedia, Harry Edward Styles was born February 1, 1994 and is from the village of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England. His mother is Anne Cox (née Selley) and father is Des Styles.
