The pair were seen in the UK capital earlier this month, as they were spotted for the first time since The Sun exclusively told how they were in "crisis talks."
The pair reportedly had a blazing row that prompted Zara to walk out and head to her family's house for a period of time.
It then sparked discussions on how they could salvage their five-year relationship.
Now Zara has teased she needs to keep a particularly close eye on her man in a run-down of her must-have items.
