“There was consent in the eyes,” Simpson noted, and Capaldi confirmed. “There was consent, I could see it. He's the one who gestured to me from across the room.”
The “Someone You Loved” artist added that Styles had “lovely lips.”
Capaldi said he used to mention the moment on his dating profiles. “It was on my dating site. Like, one of my prompts,” he explained, before disclosing that he's not currently dating anyone. “I'm not seeing anyone. Single.”
“I'm no longer on the dating sites. People are getting offline,” he said.
Capaldi released his new EP Survive on April 17, which features the singles, "Something in the Heavens,” "Almost” and "The Day That I Die.” He's currently on tour through August with planned stops in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and London, among others.
His debut studio album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, dropped in 2019, followed by 2023's Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

In February 2023, Styles and Capaldi shared a kiss after Styles won four BRIT Awards, including Song of the Year. The affectionate moment was captured in an Instagram video by British radio DJ Greg James that shows Styles walking off stage after accepting his award and pointing at Capaldi.
Capaldi points back and the pair begin to walk towards one another before Capaldi grabs Styles' face and kisses him. "I just kissed Harry Styles on the lips. I'm fully erect," Capaldi joked as he sat down.
The two were both up for Song of the Year with Capaldi being nominated for his song, “Forget Me,” and Styles ultimately winning for “As It Was.”

In 2022, the Scottish singer told KISS FM UK that he once sent Styles a video at 5 a.m. but doesn't remember what he said.
“I don't know what it was, I was hammered,” Capaldi said. “But he said to me, ‘This feels like a you up text.' I could've sent him an unsolicited picture of my … phone.”
“I mean, he didn't say no. He seemed quite agreeable to the proposition,” he continued.
