The Same Old Love singer, 30, shared the stunning throwback photo with her fans on Sunday.

Selena showed off her hourglass figure and bright blonde tresses as she posed in a multicoloured pink and purple string bikini.

The songstress showcased her natural beauty by keeping her make-up palette light.

She posted the mirror selfie on social media and captioned it: “TBT to blondie sel. Summers coming! So many exciting things coming!”

Her post comes weeks after eagle-eyed fans spotted the ex-One Direction star, 30, was following Selena on Instagram.

Zayn is selective with who he follows on social media and there was a flurry of TikTok speculation when a Manhattan hostess claimed to have seated them at a table.

A US source said: “Selena and Zayn walked in holding hands and were kissing. Most restaurant staff and restaurant-goers didn’t notice them.

“It seemed like they were comfortable together and it was clear that it was a date.”

What makes the pairing slightly awkward is that Selena is friends with Zayn’s ex, model Gigi Hadid, who is the mother of his daughter Khai, two.

The long-term on-off couple split in 2021 following a row between the singer and her mother Yolanda, which led to him being dropped by his US label, RCA Records.

During one of their earlier break-ups in 2019, Gigi was linked to one of Selena’s exes, streetwear designer Samuel Krost, but she insisted they were just mates.

The new relationship could be a ­positive fresh start for Zayn, after his ­family wanted him to relocate from New York to his native Bradford amid concerns over well-documented cannabis use and anxiety struggles.

A source added: “Zayn’s life has been turbulent in recent years and his loved ones are hopeful that Selena will help ground him and be a calming influence.

“They’re well suited and are both quite spiritual, so could be a great match in the long run.”
