Zara Larsson is "dating a couple of people"

Opening up about her dating life, the blonde beauty shared: "I'm dating a couple of people. I'm not exclusively anyone's."

And Zara has insisted she's not currently obsessing about anyone in particular, revealing a 25-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio is the only person she has ever had a crush on.

She told the Metro newspaper: "My only crush is Leonardo DiCaprio - when he was 25. That person is not in this world anymore."

The 'Lush Life' singer also bemoaned the sexist attitudes that continue to follow female singers and their personal life.

Zara said: "People are so quick on judging women - yet they put male rock stars on this pedestal. If a girl was doing all these things, she would be f***ing slated."

The Swedish star revealed she has taken inspiration from fellow musician Rihanna, who she says has broken the mould.

Zara explained: "She doesn't let anyone tell her what to do. She's her own boss. I don't know her personally, but we all know she's a stoner, she curses, and that she has an active sex life - good for her."

Zara suggested she'd like to follow in the footsteps of the 'Work' hitmaker.

She said: "I don't have anyone telling me what to do - my record label just let me be me."

Meanwhile, Zara revealed earlier this month she "always" carries a spare pair of underwear in her bag, because she would never wear the same knickers two days in a row.

Asked if she wears the same underwear for more than 24 hours, the teenager star said: "I don't do that.

"I always have an extra pair in my bag and if I don't I would rather go without panties."
