Former Love Island star Zara McDermott is enjoying a lavish break in Paris following her split from Sam Thompson, yet her followers flooded her with the same question
Zara McDermott looked gorgeous as she shared photos from her getaway to Paris, yet her fans couldn’t help but ask one thing.
The former Love Island star, 28, headed out for a lavish meal in the French capital wearing a stunning red mini dress with matching tights and heels. She had her signature long blonde locks down in loose waves and sipped on a cocktail. Looking radiant in the photos, as she said: “are you happy to be in paris?”
The post marks the second time that she has posted to Instagram since news of her split from long-term boyfriend, former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 32. They shocked fans when their romance came crashing down over the festive break, as they decided to spend Christmas and New Year apart. Neither Sam or Zara have commented on the split, leaving many questions for fans.
As it appeared Zara is focused on moving on, her post was flooded with the same question. One fan asked: “Where’s Sam?” Another added: “Where is Sam?” Someone else commented: “Have u or sam actually split up? Like any kind of statement to those who follow u both?” A fourth wrote: “I’m sorry but please tell me Sam is hiding under that table. I canny take it.”
Yet others came to the defence of the former couple. One follower said: “Catch a grip with the Sam comments. Zara is a boss!!! Let’s applaud her work, her positive vibe, her killing it!!!!” Another shared: “Do you people asking about Sam not realise he does work on HITS RADIO so thats where he is.”
Another fan wrote: “I know @zara_mcdermott and @samthompsonuk want to keep what is going on privately….but maybe they could both put a joint statement out but by not saying anything more ppl comment on they posts asking about what’s happening..see where I caming from….”
Zara and Sam had been in a relationship since 2019 and shared a stunning London home together, next door to Sam’s sister Louise Thompson, as well as their two beloved cats. Following the news of their split, Zara broke her four day social media silence to share a promotional post regarding an upcoming TV appearance. Captioning a repost from the BBC regarding The Wheel, Zara told fans: “The best day ever. So grateful to have been a part of this.”
There had been trouble in paradise for the couple as Sam rang in the new year by partying at London’s Kensington Roof Gardens with former Made in Chelsea co-stars Reza Amiri-Garroussi and Josh Patterson. Meanwhile, former Love Island star Zara had stayed at home with their cats. They also spent Christmas apart as Sam volunteering for a charity while Zara spent the time in Upminster, Essex, with her family.
Sam took to his Instagram Stories during a morning walk on New Year’s Day to share his excitement over 2025 amid the news of his split. “New year! 2025 baby come on let’s have it! I can’t wait. The New year is going to be amazing and you’re going to have the best year ever. And you know I’m always right,” said Sam before appearing to kiss his camera.
