Love Island star Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson took their relationship to the next level by going Instagram official this evening after sparking up a romance earlier this year
Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson took their relationship to the next level and shared a sweet snap of them sharing a kiss on social media. The Love Island star and the One Direction singer have been dating for several months, but have been keeping their romance away from social media besides a few comments and likes.
She was previously spotted singing along at her boyfriend’s concert as the 28-year-old went to support her 33-year-old partner at his show in Zurich last month. The sighting comes not long after the loved-up couple were seen having fun together at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
And now, Zara took to her Instagram page to share a selfie she took of the two sharing a kiss. In the snap, seemingly taken on holiday, Zara smiled as she held his cheek and gave him a kiss. Louis looked happy as he held the camera. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen.

Friends and fans were delighted with the social media milestone and rushed to share their happiness for the couple. “Yaaaay,” Strictly Come Dancing’s Tasha Ghouri wrote.
Ellie Louise Leach added: “Soooooo here for this,” and another posted: “Love seeing you glowing and happy.” One fan joked: “I’m so happy that my boyfriend has a girlfriend.”
The couple first started romance rumours earlier in the year after being photographed on a cosy date in Suffolk. The moment in March came just a short time after Zara’s split from her long-term boyfriend, Sam Thompson.
Sam and Zara called time on their relationship for good in December 2024. They had initially met in 2019 after she shot to fame on Love Island.
They took a break but soon got back together and seemed to be hopelessly in love until it was announced they went their separate ways after five years together.
Despite Zara being in a new relationship, it’s been said that Sam isn’t so keen to date again. At one point, he dated Samie Elishi but they soon called time on their brief romance.
After their split, he was spotted back on celebrity dating app Raya. He later made the decision to stay single for some time.
Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast, Sam said: “I’m going to work on myself. No dating, I’m not ready and I’ve realised that.”
His sister Louise has already shared her wishes for his next partner as they need to be “classy” or “well-to-do”. Sam said: “Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.”
