Who is Zara McDermott Dating?
Zara McDermott’s relationship status changed big time in 2025. You might have spotted it all over your feed: she’s now officially dating Louis Tomlinson, the former One Direction singer. Rumors were swirling around for months—paparazzi pics at hotels, both liking each other's posts, the whole “soft launch” with sneaky social media shots.
But in August 2025, Zara just went for it and hard-launched their romance with a full-on PDA selfie on Instagram. It’s her and Louis, sunglasses and smiles, caught mid-kiss, with that classic celeb understated red heart emoji in the caption. The response? Fans lost it in the comments—lots of “LOVE YOU GUYS” and “the hard launch!!!” and even actress Ellie Leach chimed in, super supportive.

Why Did Zara McDermott and Sam Break Up?
After five years, Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson called it quits in early 2025—not with a dramatic scandal, but slowly, quietly drifting away from each other. Even though they’d pulled through her 2019 cheating scandal, it was a “tough year” in 2024 that did them in. Sam was busy making waves in the media, always laughing, always on the move. Zara’s life looked different—documentaries, building her brand, taking bigger risks. It just… wasn’t lining up, no matter how much they tried.
Around Christmas, the split was clear. Sam posted pics from Australia, volunteering, and then wild in London for New Year’s, while Zara kept things low-key with family. Friends mention the gap was more about feeling “not prioritized,” clashing goals, rising tensions—each heading in separate directions. No bad blood, just two people growing in ways that didn’t fit together anymore. On X, the account @BritishTalks shed light on the 2025 breakup of Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson, offering a reflective analysis of the couple’s highly publicized split.

Louise, Sam’s sister, filmed her support for Zara even after everything, making fans go “aww” about the drama.
