It comes after Zara and Louis were spotted sharing a smooch in Los Angeles.
The One Direction singer and Love Island star finally went public with their new relationship on Tuesday having been spotted on a lunch date.
However, there could be trouble in paradise brewing for the new couple, with body language expert Judi James telling MailOnline how their kissing style relates to an uneven dynamic in their relationship.
Analysing the pictures, Judi explained: 'This is a very passionate PDA but is also lacks balance.
'Louis appears to have rushed out in his socks to plant a lingering and intense-looking kiss on Zara.
'His forward lean, his closed eyes and the way he grips at the sleeve of her top make this the kind of ritual that says he’s reluctant to let her out of his sight.'
In contrast she said Zara’s 'non-verbal display looks cooler though.
'Her head leans back slightly as his tilts forward and there is no sideways tilting to make the kiss more lingering.
Zara and Louis first sparked romance rumours in March when a fellow diner at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh spotted the couple on a date
'Her response to Louis’s intense arm grasp is to raise her hand but without any sign of reciprocal touching or hugging here.'
Judi's comments echoed her sentiments from another outing earlier in the week, when she revealed that Louis looked to be the type to 'fall in love quickly', in contrast to 'cautious' Zara.
While Zara and Louis' display may have raised some alarms for Judi, the PDA no doubt still came as a blow to Zara's ex Sam Thompson, 32, whom she split from on New Years Day after a five-year romance.

The new couple shared videos from the same area in the theatre just minutes apart, with Zara tagging the venue and band.

Zara isn't the only one to have moved on, with MailOnline recently revealing that Sam has 'grown close' to a stunning Netflix star as he bids to move on from their relationship.
MailOnline revealed the Made In Chelsea star, 32, was spotted with Lucy Syed, 28, at new Chelsea nightclub The Rex Rooms last month and, according to sources, they have spent time together on more than one occasion.

Sam, who presents the podcast Staying Relevant with pal Pete first connected with Lucy on Instagram and has since liked her glamorous pictures.
A source told MailOnline the attraction between Sam, who recently signed up to celebrity dating app Raya, and Lucy was 'instant' and friends are happy the London-born influencer was able to put a smile back on the TV star's face.
A friend said: 'Sam and Lucy were sharing direct messages over Instagram before they decided to meet up at a pub and then continue their night at The Rex Rooms.
'They looked really close in the club, chatting and cuddling up together.
'But their closeness continued after they spent the night partying together and the pair's connection has certainly put a smile back on Sam's face.
'Sam is enjoying being single again and dipping his toe back into the dating pool.'
