Zara McDermott recently ‘soft launched’ her romance with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson by sharing a photo of her breakfast featuring Louis’ arm in the background – and now Louis has shared a gushing comment on his social media
Louis Tomlinson made his relationship with new girlfriend Zara McDermott Instagram official on Wednesday evening.
It comes just a few months after Zara’s split from her boyfriend of five years Sam Thompson, who is also reportedly stepping back into the dating world. Sam and Zara first started dating in May 2019, with Sam telling OK! magazine Zara made the first move. Trouble hit paradise for the pair early on as it was revealed Zara cheated on Sam while on The X Factor: Celebrity and the pair split briefly.
Zara was seen grovelling in viral Made In Chelsea scenes as she begged for Sam to forgive her – he refused to at first but eventually decided to move past Zara’s cheating and the pair reunited. The couple appeared stronger than ever after reconciling, with Zara moving into Sam’s plush Chelsea pad. They regularly made fun social media videos together along with TOWIE star Pete. Sadly, their romance wasn’t to last as it was revealed in December they had gone their separate ways.

The One Direction singer, 33, and the Love Island star, 28, sparked relationship rumours at the start of this year after she and Louis were seen enjoying a dinner and overnight stay together at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh following reports of Zara’s new closeness with the star’s half-siblings.
The pair jetted off to the US together earlier this month, weeks after they were spotted enjoying a meal together at a cosy Suffolk hotel. While on their trip, the pair shared matching photographs of a view from a Stereophonics concert and Zara ‘soft launched’ their romance by sharing a photo of her breakfast featuring Louis’ arm in the background.
Zara and Louis are yet to discuss their romance publicly, but haven’t held back on public displays of affection as they were recently snapped holding hands while out in America. Now Louis has sent fans wild as he shared a gushing comment on Zara’s social media post.
Zara shared a picture of herself editing her new documentary series as she explained that she is feeling more ‘confident’ in front of the camera and gushed that she is ‘unbelievably excited’ for fans to watch. She captioned the post: ” In the edit for my new series all about Thailand I’m so unbelievably excited about this one.
“I can’t believe I’ve been making documentaries for 5 years now… every year that goes by I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much. I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too.
“I learnt SO much making this programme. I cannot wait @bbcthree (Thailand will be out later this year after my stalking documentary which will be out this summer).”
Louis quickly took to the comments and wrote: ‘Proud of you x’. His comment hads had over 7,000 likes and over 700 replies so far. Neither Louis or Zara have posted images together on their social platforms but fans have been noticing the likes and comments on each other’s posts.
