Who is the mystery girl in Zayn’s new music video? Meet Grace Dumdaw

The stunning actress in Zayn's new 'Love Like This' music video is Grace Dumdaw.

Why did fans think Selena Gomez was in 'Love Like This'?

Weeks before the music video was released, fans speculated that the mystery lady in the teaser clips could be none other than Selena Gomez amid those dating rumours earlier this year.

It was reported in March that the two stars had been spotted kissing on a date after following each other on Instagram - but Selena declared she was single in a TikTok shared last month, finally putting those rumours to bed - and they've also recently unfollowed each other.

However, this hadn't stopped fans from wondering if the pair recorded something together, as the naturally brunette superstar shared pictures swapping her dark brown locks for blonde during a recent trip to Paris.

But, of course, this was just a fan theory!

Others believed that Zayn could be ‘soft-launching’ a new girlfriend as he featured his ex Gigi Hadid in his ‘Pillowtalk’ music video in 2016 shortly after they had started dating.

However, this is not the case this time around.
