One Direction heart-throb Harry Styles has enjoyed two romantic late-night dates with an ­American model.

On Thursday the star took Emma Ostilly out on the town before giving her a ­goodnight kiss on her doorstep at 1.20am.

And last night the blonde beauty, 18, sneaked into the boyband’s hotel after a gig in Auckland, New Zealand.

An onlooker who saw Harry and Emma in one of the city’s bars said: “They really seemed to have a ­connection and only had eyes for each other.”

Harry’s budding new romance comes just weeks after he ended his relationship with TV presenter Caroline Flack, 32.

It’s thought Harry, 18, first met Emma when she featured in the group’s video for their second single Gotta Be You, shot last Autumn in her home city of New York.

The model, with the same agency as Beyonce, was in New Zealand, where she is living, as One Direction arrived from Australia last week.

Harry met up with her on ­Thursday night shortly after the band arrived in Auckland for a concert.

Emma, wearing red skinny jeans, joined Harry at the trendy Gypsy Tea Rooms bar before going on to another bar.

“They were enjoying themselves, laughing and joking together,” said the onlooker.

“They seemed very happy and relaxed and you could tell they have a history together. The pictures show they are still close.”

Harry then gave Emma a lift in his ­chauffeur-driven car to the ­exclusive neighbourhood where she was staying.

Walking her to the doorstep, they kissed as she ­tenderly held his neck – in a picture that will break the hearts of his army of female fans.

The star later posted a snap of him with Emma online.

They were together again on Friday night when she ­visited him at the hotel where the band are ­staying.

“They went out again to a ­couple of bars in the city and then came back a few hours later,” said the source. “She ended up ­getting a lift home with ­Harry’s driver in the early hours of the morning.

“Who knows if this will lead to ­anything.

“One thing is for certain, his female fans will be ­keeping a close eye on what is ­happening.”

Yesterday the group, who have sold 1.5 million albums worldwide, played two gigs at Auckland’s Trust Stadium.

The band will play in Wellington today and are ­expected back in London this week.
