i can’t believe people don’t think it’s possible that H&L’s relationship was hidden with beards and pr stunts. whether it’s to hide someone’s sexuality, boost gossip, promote a project... fake relationships are still, and always have been, common in the entertainment industry.
For instance: Cher Lloyd, a competitor on the same X Factor season as 1D, came forward about being pressured into a fake relationship (mind you, Cher Lloyd is literally married). but they didn’t care, they wanted to link her to a famous male celeb to create more buzz around her.
George Michael was a member of Wham! who was linked with countless amounts of females throughout his career. he struggled with his sexuality, as he was portrayed as straight in the media and publicly dated women, but has stated that he always knew deep down he was a gay man.
there’s lots of links between George Michael and Louis. Lou included an article in his JLY lyric video about George Michael’s legal action against his 22 year long contract with Sony. Need I say more? @KEVINANDCARR0TS have a video detailing it all, watch!!
Mark Feehily of Westlife was labeled as a womanizer & given beards while trying to hide his relationship with a member of another band. Sounds familiar? Westlife was also on the X Factor, signed with S*mon, and was controlled under M*dest Management. The parallels are uncanny.
Jaymi Hensley of Union J came out as gay in 2012. After fellow bandmate George Shelley discussed his sexuality, Hensley spoke on his experience w/ Sony & the struggles of being gay in the music industry. They are denied their right to come out for fear of losing their fans/sales.
Musician Barry Manilow hid his relationship with his manager for 40 years!! While hiding his relationship and sexuality, in the 80s he had a highly publicized “relationship” with TV production assistant Linda Allen.
In 2013, Harry was rumored to be dating Cara Delevingne, who was closeted at the time. Later, she revealed that she was told she needed a male beard (...someone like Harry? 
) because she wouldn’t be successful if she was anything but straight... need I say more?

The fact of the matter is that closeting, fake relationships, and pr stunts ARE STILL prevalent in the industry!! It’s not at all a stretch to think that larry was real & hidden. Harry’s brand was the womanizer, Lou’s brand was the relatable guy with the long term hometown gf.
I don’t even wanna jump into the mess that is elounor or any of Harry’s “relationships”. I just find it shocking that so many people fail to recognize the truth! People think larries reach to fit some sort of narrative, but when you look at all this... is it still reaching?
