Zara Larsson checks out the skyline of New York City during a visit to the Empire State Building on Thursday afternoon (August 29).
Earlier in the week, the 21-year-old musician stopped by People to chat about her new music and confirmed that she had split with her model boyfriend, Brian H. Whittaker, following split rumors.
“It’s fine, because I am single right now, and I’m excited about that because I’m young, I’m cute and I’m out here and I have to live my life. I haven’t been single since I was 14,” she shared when asked about having romance in her life.
Zara added that relationships are hard work.
“I’m very busy, so I don’t really live it out, but it’s just nice to know that you don’t have — because a relationship, just like friendships and with families and all your relationships in life, you gotta work on it and you gotta put time into it and you gotta nurture it and all of that,” she says. “It takes a lot of energy.”
We all know that Zara Larsson has the hottest boyfriend ever — model Brian H. Whittaker — and we know she met him through social media.
Now, the Swedish singer is opening up about how the two connected online after sending him a saucy tweet.
“I saw it [the photo of him] on Twitter and I was like ‘who is THAT?’, he is so cute! That was two years ago,” Zara explains during a radio interview on the Kyle & Jackie O show. “Then someone was like, here’s his Instagram, so I followed him…and then he saw the tweet, and said ‘oh it’s me, hey!’”
Zara adds that that was pretty much all it took for the two to head towards coupledom.
“So basically it goes down in the DM and we started talking and we saw each other and now two years later he’s my boyfriend.”
We love this story!
