The cheerful image showcased the couple on what she referred to as “the most magical trip of my life.”
The lovebirds were all smiles as they posed for a selfie in the wing mirror of a safari van.
Zara, 29, was seen wearing a tan Miu Miu baseball cap and gold earrings, while Louis, who was behind the wheel, sported a white T-shirt and sunglasses.
She captured a lush backdrop in her photo and wrote: “Visited Costa Rica, a country I've dreamed of visiting since my teenage years.
“It was the most magical trip of my life!!”
Back in May, we reported that they were spotted on this trip.
At that time, The Sun disclosed that Louis had taken Zara to a secluded villa on the coast of Santa Teresa, where he was recording new music.
Zara, who split with Sam Thompson last January, was then seen sharing a kiss with her new pop star boyfriend.
Following Zara’s recent post, Louis’ sister Lottie, who has previously shown support, quickly responded to the upload with red heart emoji icons.
One fan commented on the couple: “He’s smiling, you make him so happy, Zara.”
Another posted: “Oh, I love seeing him happy.”
A third remarked: “Louis is finally happy, oh my gosh.”
Other images included Zara’s professional accomplishments with her BBC Three documentaries and her fashion brand Rise, alongside stylish dress poses and capturing family moments while traveling on a private jet for their 30th wedding anniversary.
NEXT STEPS
Last month, we reported that the couple had advanced their relationship by spending the holiday season together.
Zara joined the Night Changes hitmaker, his son Freddie, and his extended family, including sister Lottie and twins Phoebe and Daisy, for this special time.
On their new podcast, Tea With The Twins, Phoebe and Daisy stated: “This is a big year for us — it might be our biggest Christmas yet. Everyone is coming.
“The new addition this year is Flossy [Lottie’s second child with fiancé Lewis Burton], who was born in January, so we have a new member in the family.
“And we have another new member as our brother has a new girlfriend, so it will be nice. I think there will be 16 of us total.”
A source close to the former singer and TV presenter confirmed they would be together for Christmas, adding: “They want to be together and try not to be apart for too long.
“Their relationship is serious; it’s not just a fling. It’s built to last.
“Zara gets along very well with Louis’ family, especially his sisters, so he wanted her to be there to celebrate with them.
“Both have had work commitments recently, so they’re eager to spend quality time together.”
Our insider noted: “Since it’s Louis’ birthday on Christmas Eve, the plan is for Zara to spend that day with him and then Christmas Day with the Tomlinsons. Afterward, they will visit Zara’s family.
“They both cherish their families immensely, which is something that drew them to each other, making it a Christmas to remember.”
