Engaged couple Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are reportedly considering New Orleans as the destination for their upcoming wedding, with sources indicating the pair want a ceremony that breaks from traditional Hollywood expectations.
The Grammy-winning singer and the "Batman" actress, who got engaged in April, have been scouting potential venues in the Louisiana city, which holds deep personal meaning for Kravitz . The actress spent part of her teenage years living there with her father, musician Lenny Kravitz, after spending her early childhood in Los Angeles with her mother, Lisa Bonet .
Close friends of the couple believe the city's rich musical heritage and cultural significance make it the ideal setting for their nuptials. According to insiders, the pair are intentionally avoiding a lavish celebrity affair in favor of something more distinctive and personal .
"Harry and Zoë might have a string of celebrity friends and a Hollywood lifestyle but their wedding won't be like that," a source told The Sun. "They're a cool couple and want something unique" . The source added that Kravitz's family ties to New Orleans, combined with the city's renowned musical history, have positioned it as a leading contender for the celebration.
The engagement news followed months of speculation after the couple was first linked in August 2025. They have since been spotted together in Rome, London, and New York, maintaining a relatively private relationship despite their high profiles .
Lenny Kravitz purchased a historic Creole cottage on Dauphine Street in New Orleans in 1994, further solidifying the family's connection to the city. The 1825 property underwent extensive renovations before being sold in 2012 for $655,000 .
While wedding planning appears to be underway, sources suggest the couple is not rushing into preparations. In May, an insider told People that Kravitz, 37, has remained "pretty low-key about the engagement" and is not actively discussing wedding details . The couple has been prioritizing quality time together amid their busy schedules, with Kravitz recently attending the opening night of Styles' "Together Together" tour in Amsterdam .
Styles, 32, has previously expressed his desire for marriage and family. In a March interview, he outlined a five-year plan that included building lasting relationships and starting a family . The singer reportedly proposed with a diamond ring valued at nearly $1 million .
The wedding would be Styles' first marriage and Kravitz's second. She was previously married to actor Karl Glusman in 2019 at her father's historic Parisian mansion .
The couple recently enjoyed a rare public outing together, spotted on a romantic picnic at Hampstead Heath in London during a break from Styles' Wembley Stadium residency . The relaxed date came shortly after a brief onstage scare when Styles choked on water during his June 26 performance, quickly recovering and reassuring concerned fans .
Sources indicate the couple is taking their time with wedding preparations while continuing to support each other's professional commitments. Kravitz is expected to join Styles at select tour stops when her schedule permits, and those close to the pair describe their relationship as harmonious and mutually supportive .
While no official date has been announced, the New Orleans option reflects the couple's desire for a celebration that honors Kravitz's personal history while showcasing the unique cultural character of a city known for its vibrant music scene and distinctive charm.
