While launching her latest beauty venture, Adored by… Lottie Tomlinson, 26, shared a glimpse into how the former Love Island star is already being welcomed into the Tomlinson family fold and opened up about her brother Louis Tomlinson’s blossoming romance.
Zara, who rose to fame on reality TV before building a strong presence as a presenter and influencer, has recently gone public with her relationship with Louis Tomlinson, 33, the former One Direction singer. Rumours started about a potential romance between the pair in March, when eagle eyed fans noted that they followed each other on social media and Louis’ sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe all followed the documentary maker and Strictly star on Instagram.

She also follows them all back. The pair have been quietly dating for a few months, and according to Lottie, they’re “really happy” together.
Now, it is reported that Zara has flown off for a romantic getaway with her new beau. Insiders revealed that One Direction star Louis splashed out thousands of pounds to fly Zara 5,000 miles to join him while he’s working on his upcoming album.
Speaking at the launch event for her beauty line, Lottie confirmed exclusively to us, that she’s met Zara and has only good things to say about her. “Yeah, she is amazing and they are really happy. I’m really happy for him,” she said, clearly pleased to see her brother in a good place romantically.
The couple’s new status hasn’t stopped them from being roped into family life already. With Lottie being a mum to two-year-old son Lucky and five month old baby girl Flossie, she joked that Louis and Zara might soon find themselves on babysitting duty. “Hopefully, yeah,” she laughed when asked if the pair would be helping out.
Lottie has always been close to Louis, especially following the loss of their mother and younger sister in recent years. She’s spoken publicly about the importance of family and support, and it seems that Zara is fitting in well with the Tomlinson clan.
Lottie, who recently became a mum also opened up on balancing working and motherhood. After welcoming her baby girl in January, Lottie admits some weeks can leave her “exhausted”.
“I think it’s like an up and down thing for me anyway. There’ll be certain weeks where I feel like I’m juggling really well and I’m like, right, I’m doing it. I’m smashing it then there’ll be certain weeks where I just have not got the balance right and I’m exhausted.”
“Like this week’s work is heavy so I just need to, you know, take a few things back, push to next week and spend more time with the kids. I really just take it week by week, but it is really hard to find a balance, but my kids are my focus and they will always come first.”
It hasn’t been easy for Lottie after losing her mum, Johannah Deakin at the age of 43 in 2016 after a battle with leukaemia, followed just over two years later by the death of her sister, Felicité, 18 and the mum and influencer has opened up on how she is continuing to deal with the grief. “I feel like being with my family is just the best therapy for me,” she says.
“That’s all I’ve ever wanted and now that I’ve finally got that, it brings me so much comfort and it makes me feel closer to the people I’ve lost. It’s been like a healing thing for me.”
