Zara Larsson Confirms She's Single After Splitting With Brian H. Whittaker

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.”

Zara and Brian dated for over two years and they first met after she slid into his DMs on social media.
