Charlie Puthis celebrating himself — and a longtime acquaintance — this year!
For his 31st birthday on Friday, the “Light Switch” singer shared some wholesome images taken in a photo booth withBrooke Sansone, a family friend who fans have believed to be his new girlfriend for months.
“🎶 Ohhhhh I’m NOT a loser…‘cause I didn’t lose her!!! 🎶 (Happy birthday to me.),” Puth wrote on Instagram.
The cozy black-and-white images show Puth holding Sansone close as they smile big, stick their tongues out at each other, and she makes a kissing face close to his cheek.
Representatives for Puth did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Sansone — a digital marketing and PR coordinator for a design consultancy, perLinkedIn, who also runs anInstagramaccount where she shows off curated outfits — shared the same image of her and Puth her own Instagram Story on Friday, with the caption “birthday boy” and a heart emoji.

Brooke and Charlie have also beeninteracting onlinefor at least several months, and back in September,joined each otherat Global Citizen Festival in New York City with family members. Earlier this summer,Brooke also shared an Instagram Storyof her and Puth smiling at a gathering.
Puth previously spoke to Brooke onInstagram Live in 2019, when he asked her about New Jersey and referred to her as “Brookie.”
Back in October, during an appearance on SiriusXM’sThe Howard Stern Show, Puth confirmed that he was in love and was “with somebody” who he has history with.
“She’s always been very, very nice to me,” Puth continued. “I would assume that when times inevitably are hard in the future — because what is life without valleys and peaks — she would be there for me as well.”
Puth later opened up a little bit more about why they work so well, and did not reveal his partner’s identity in the interview.
“Honestly, I get so scared of people now, like, I can’t really walk anywhere for whatever reason, and I think the more that happens, the more I just want to retreat to someone that I’ve known for a long time,” he said of the relationship. “I’m not really interested in going out like I used to and being crazy.”
