Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott have finally confirmed they are an item.
The One Direction star and former Love Island contestant were first linked in the press earlier this year, after the two were reportedly seen dining out together in Suffolk.
Since then, Louis and Zara have repeatedly popped up in the comments of one another's Instagram posts, but have remained tight-lipped about the rumours that they're dating.
That is, until Monday, when Zara posted a picture of herself and Louis on her Instagram page sharing a kiss in the sunshine, accompanied by just a heart emoji.
Louis initially rose to fame as one-fifth of the chart-topping boy band One Direction, who first became known on The X Factor in 2010.
In the years since, Louis has embarked on a number of different ventures, including a short-lived stint playing for his hometown's team, Doncaster Rovers; a solo music career (which has so far seen him release two albums, the most recent of which topped the UK albums chart in 2022); and even judging the TV talent show on which he first found fame.
Zara, meanwhile, first appeared on the fourth season of Love Island in 2018 and, like Louis, subsequently competed on The X Factor, albeit the celebrity version.
More recently, she's fronted a number of documentaries for the BBC, exploring topics like revenge porn, stalking and social media.
In 2022, she competed on Strictly Come Dancing, where she was the fifth celebrity to be eliminated.
Louis has previously dated model Eleanor Calder, stylist Briana Jungwirth (with whom he shares a nine-year-old son, Freddie) and former Disney actor Danielle Campbell.
Zara was previously in a relationship with fellow reality star Sam Thompson for five years until they parted ways towards the end of 2024.
