Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott put on a loved up display as they strolled hand-in-hand through Worthy Farm as Glastonbury Festival kicked off on Thursday.
The One Direction singer, 33, and Love Island star, 28, cut low key figures as they were spotted soaking up the Somerset sun at the iconic music event.
Louis wore a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap.
Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail.
It comes just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad’s only trip and weekend of partying.
The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.
A source told The Sun: ‘Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her.
‘It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other.
‘He disappeared just before it ended so he could go back stage and be reunited with her, but it was heartwarming to see him being a dutiful, loved up boyfriend.’
The singer is attending the festival following what appeared to be a frosty crossing of paths with girlfriend Zara’s ex-boyfriend Sam Thompson at the annual Soccer Aid event on June 15.
In a video obtained by MailOnline from Manchester’s Old Trafford following the event, Louis is seen embracing players and coaching staff from both sets of teams before conducting a TV interview.
But the singer ignores former Made In Chelsea star, 32, when he comes into view, turning his attention away and grimacing, before walking over to exchange pleasantries with other Soccer Aid stars.
Insiders were anticipating an awkward encounter between the pair after Louis started dating Zara shortly after the Soccer Aid squads were announced.
The documentary maker, who found fame on 2018’s Love Island, went public with the singer in March and the couple have been travelling the world together, holidaying in Costa Rica and Los Angeles.
MailOnline revealed Louis and Zara were over following a five-year romance on New Year’s Day.
The TV personality subsequently moved on with another former Love Island contestant, Samie Elishi, although their short-lived romance has since ended.
While Sam and Louis did their best to dispel speculation of a feud by avoiding each other during the Soccer Aid training and match, the video, taken by a fan, proves animosity between the pair rumbles on.
An insider added: ‘Louis is seen literally embracing every squad member on both sides, except Sam. And the fact he looks away as soon as he comes into eyesight says it all.
‘Given the charity context of the occasion there was no way either Louis or Sam were going to let their emotions get the better of them, they were there to raise money and succeeded. But there’s clearly no love lost between them.’
They avoided each other during a training session in the buildup to the match at Soccer Aid HQ, Champneys in Tring and were stationed on different sides of the changing room at Old Trafford, as they managed to keep any possible tension at bay.
Before the match, which raised over £15million for UNICEF, The Sun revealed how they both attended a team bonding session at the squad’s hotel to ease any tension.
Thompson raised over £2million for the charity by taking part in a gruelling challenge, transporting the Soccer Aid match ball from Stamford Bridge, West London, to Old Trafford, Manchester, a 260-mile journey, via foot and bike.
He managed to complete the task but picked up so many injuries, the reality star was unable to feature prominently in the actual match.
The England teammates did not appear on the field together during the game, which was eventually won by the Rest of the World team, after Tomlinson was withdrawn at half-time and Thompson was introduced as a substitute with minutes remaining.
