Zara McDermott gives sweet nod to her blossoming romance with Louis Tomlinson in new Instagram video
The Love Island star, 28, and former One Direction member, 33, are believed to have started dating in March following on from her split with Sam Thompson.
And proving their romance is going from strength to strength, Zara appeared to share a subtle nod to Louis as she wore a necklace with the initial 'L' while speaking to fans on Instagram stories.
While Zara or her jewellery didn't mention Louis by name, her delicate gold chain with the letter 'L' rather than her own initial certainly alluded to her blossoming romance.
Zara's reference to Louis comes after the singer announced that he was quitting X on last week due to 'conspiracy chat' about his personal life.
The Just Hold On hitmaker said that comments about his new relationship with Zara McDermott, his son and even his late mother have driven him off the social media platform.
Louis and the former Love Island star went public with their romance earlier this year after her split from Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson.
The singer also referenced his son Freddie, eight, in the X post. Louis shares Freddie with his ex Briana Jungwirth.
The pair welcomed their son in 2016 following a brief fling.
Meanwhile Louis tragically lost his mum Johannah Deakin in 2016 to leukaemia when she was just 43 years old.
Louis penned in his X post: 'The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum.
'It's just too much and too hurtful for me to see! Thank you to everyone who always has my back!'
And back in May he had posted saying: 'Haven't really used this (X) much for a while. Seems to be such a weird place these days...
'Anyway feeling really good about the next record. Staying positive.'

The post comes after last week Zara showed her support for Louis as she was spotted at his concert in Zurich.
Last Friday, she proved their relationship is going from strength to strength as she was seen enjoying his gig in the Swiss city.
In a TikTok video shared by user @katiexstyles, Zara could be seen singing and dancing along to one of Louis' songs from a private box.
Dressed in a simple white crop top, the reality star appeared in great spirits as she joined in with the crowd's excitement.
It came just weeks after Zara was spotted dancing with Louis in the crowd at Worthy Farm during Skepta's set at Glastonbury.
Louis could be seen with his arms wrapped around Zara who flopped her head back onto his shoulder while enjoying the music.
A fellow festival-goer captioned the post: 'Glastonbury is mad because you can be dancing to Skepta and boom Louis Tomlinson is next to you.'
Others couldn't get over the couple's kooky PDA and rushed to the comments: 'Literally is Zara well in this? LOL': 'It's so funny'.

And back in May he had posted saying: 'Haven't really used this (X) much for a while. Seems to be such a weird place these days...'
In an interview before she travelled to Somerset for the festival, Zara also broke her silence on her split from Sam Thompson, 32.
The couple, who featured on Made In Chelsea together, had enjoyed a five-year relationship before calling time on their romance in January.
Zara made headlines after swiftly moving on with One Direction star Louis, with the pair spotted enjoying a date together in early March.
Their romance continued to blossom as they jetted off on holiday together, before Louis and Zara's ex Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid last month.
A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier.
The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara later admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'.
She told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.'
The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'.
'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added.
'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.'

'One of our own' - fans on Son exit
We asked how you were feeling about the departure of Son told us:Diana: A True Spurs legend. I am so sad he is leaving hopefully he can come back and get a great send off. Hope he does well in the MLS but wish he wasn't To me, Son Heung-min is, and always will be, 'one of our own' because he represents everything that is good about Tottenham Hotspur, everything the club traditionally stands for especially, in this sometimes strange age. Perhaps his loyalty, outward love of the club and continuous endeavour should be noted above all else - a rarity in the modern era - or his abundance of skill. But it is his demeanour both on and off the pitch that will see him celebrated forevermore not only by supporters of Spurs but, I should think, by fans of all other clubs across Great Britain and the world.A lovely chap, whose smile and distinctive laughter alone would, more than likely, unite a room full of strangers. He not only had time to give to absolutely anyone but a genuine desire to do so. Very few people have believed in Tottenham Hotspur and the community quite like he has and his absence from N17 will be widely felt for some time. There can be no doubt whatsoever that he is a 'legend' and I will miss him Sonny has been immense for Spurs and I'm so happy he capped it with the trophy. It's probably the right time to go leaving with his legacy and our gratitude. Will always be remembered as a legend!Thom: Many players score and make great goals but very few are distinguished by the ability to express joy in playing the game and to inspire joy in fellow players and fans. Sonny did just that and his legacy will I admit I'm quite sad at the news. Son has been more than a great player for us. He's been a great Captain and ambassador. But at least he's going on his terms. That's the very least he deserves and Spurs fans should be grateful to have watched him at his prime. Seeing him lift the Europa League trophy, that amazing goal against Burnley, his partnership with Kane. Thank you for the great memories Sonny!! You'll be dearly missed!
