For Zara McDermott, the past year has been marked by significant personal transformation. The television presenter and documentary maker ended her five-year relationship with Sam Thompson at the end of 2024.

Zara McDermott Makes a Clean Break from Her Past
Zara has taken a clear step towards a fresh start by deleting all photos of Sam Thompson from her social media accounts. This removal marks a definitive end to their shared digital history, which included playful skits, affectionate snapshots, and heartfelt posts accumulated over their five years together.
This social media cleanse is seen as a deliberate choice to focus on her future and leave the past behind.
A New Chapter with Louis Tomlinson Begins
Zara’s new life with Louis Tomlinson is well underway. Insiders reveal the couple is “smitten” and that Zara has effectively relocated to Louis’s mansion. After her breakup with Sam, she temporarily stayed with her family, but the distance from Louis’s residence and their strong desire to be close led to a natural progression of moving in together.
A source shared, “They’re in the honeymoon phase and want to be with each other as much as possible.” Their relationship has been quite public, with sightings together at Glastonbury, trips to LA and Costa Rica, and Louis attending Zara’s professional events to show support.
Sam Thompson’s Reaction and Moving On
After the split, Sam Thompson has been candid about the difficulty of the breakup, admitting people could “see a sadness behind his eyes.” He reportedly made a cryptic remark about how quickly Zara moved on after her relationship with Louis became public.
Despite this, Sam has been moving forward, sharing experiences about a “terrifying” first date and crediting his best friend, Pete Wicks, for support. More recently, he has been seen exchanging flirty messages with Love Island’s Samie Elishi.
A Quiet Statement on the Past Dynamics
Zara has addressed the situation only indirectly, choosing to concentrate on her career and personal growth. She stated, “The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.” She highlighted that she now values “real relationships” over social media appearances, reflecting a significant shift from her earlier years in the public eye.
This statement suggests a conscious decision to move away from public drama toward a more private and grounded life with Louis.
