ZARA McDermott has shared a brand new loved-up selfie with her One Direction star boyfriend.
The former Love Island contestant was celebrating her 29th birthday with her singer partner Louis Tomlinson as they posed for the cosy picture.
Zara donned a woolly hat and coat for the wintertime selfie as she flashed her pearly whites whilst cuddling up to Louis in the snap.
Captioning the image, Zara wrote: “The best birthday ever with you & the final year of my 20’s !!”
The pair had spent the day together celebrating and marking Zara’s first birthday since they have been a couple.

This new image is a rare public show of affection from the couple with Zara and Louis often choosing to keep their romance away from social media.
Louis has never shared an image of the couple on his main social media feed.
But they appear more loved-up than ever thanks to their latest snap.
Commenting underneath the snap, one fan said: “Omgg you’re the sweetest couple. Happy birthday sweetheart.”
As another penned: “The cutest pic I’ve seen in a while!! U look so happy, I love it.”
A third also commented: “Happy birthday Zara!!! And this completely makes my morning! So happy for you guys!!”
It comes as her ex Sam also began to post his new romance to Instagram.
Sam is in the very early days of a romance with influencer Talitha Balinska but he has been quick to flaunt it online.
Sam began dating DJ Talitha back in October but he has now begun to post about the star after they also posed for a loved-up snap during a dinner with his Made in Chelsea co-star pals.
Sam announced at the beginning of December that he and Talitha had made things “official”.
Speaking to his best pal Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed they had taken their romance to the next level.
He said excitedly: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”
He also had a brief romance with Love Island star Samie Elishi earlier this year with them regularly being pictured snogging in public but it soon fizzled out.
Zara and Sam split in January 2025 when she chose to end the relationship after five years.
She began dating Louis just weeks later.
Zara and Sam were also plagued by a cheating shock when it was revealed that the BBC Three star had cheated on Sam during the early days of their romance.
She broke down in tears when begging for him back amid the infidelity in an infamous Made in Chelsea scene.
