Zara McDermott’s Ex Sam Thompson Faces Awkward Soccer Aid Encounter

In a possible scenario, Zara McDermott’s former partner Sam Thompson might encounter an uncomfortable sideline encounter with Louis Tomlinson during Soccer Aid, as rumors swirl about her alleged secret relationship with the popular member of One Direction.

According to TopMob, Sam and Zara parted ways in December, following a five-year relationship. Not long after, the Strictly celebrity disclosed that she had left their residence in Chelsea.

Ever since the buzz started, I just can’t help but wonder if there might be a blossoming connection between Zara and the boyband sensation, Louis. The fan community on Reddit has been abuzz with speculative theories about their possible romance, all stemming from the fact that they follow each other on Instagram. Now, Louis only follows 336 accounts, so for Zara to be among them, it’s got me thinking… Could this be the start of something beautiful?

Following the rumors, it seems likely that Sam and Louis will find themselves in an awkward situation, having been named among the famous players appearing in this year’s high-profile Soccer Aid team.

In the upcoming charity football game in June, both individuals will represent England on the field. If the whispers about Louis and Zara prove correct, it might lead to some rather uncomfortable situations in the changing room.

They’ll be part of an illustrious team that includes Tyson Fury, Jill Scott, Grennan, and Paddy McGuinness, while Wayne Rooney is coming back from retirement to manage the group.

Among the various fan theories about Zara and Louis, it’s also been pointed out on Reddit that Louis’s siblings such as makeup artist Lottie Tomlinson, along with his twin sisters Daisy and Phoebe, appear to follow Zara as well.

A Reddit user posted: ‘There have been many whispers suggesting that Louis is dating Zara McDermott.’

She and he have just begun reciprocating their connection on Instagram. Interestingly, she also keeps an eye on his entire family on the platform, and they return the favor by following her as well.

Someone mentioned: ‘Today, Louis is performing in London, and I’m keeping an eye out for Zara attending the concert, or posting updates about it on her stories.’

Some spectators, however, remained skeptical, suggesting that the meeting might have been related to her work on a new documentary centering around his siblings instead.

They wrote: ‘Additionally, I’ve heard whispers that she might be involved in the supposed TV show the twins are attempting to produce. Let’s hope it revolves around that!’ or

They wrote: ‘I’ve also picked up on some chatter suggesting her inclusion in the rumored series the twins are trying to launch, so let’s keep our fingers crossed it focuses on that.’

As a lifestyle expert, let me share my thoughts: It seems quite common these days for folks to label their interactions as ‘dating,’ yet following each other on social media doesn’t necessarily equate to dating. Frankly, it’s not uncommon for someone to follow numerous individuals. So, don’t be too quick to jump to conclusions!

A representative for Zara has been contacted by TopMob for comment. 

At this month’s BRIT Awards, Zara and Lucien Laviscount sparked rumors when they were seen showing affection during the high-profile music event.

At the entire event, the recently-single Zara found herself sitting beside the charming character from Emily in Paris, basking in the affection he showered upon her throughout.

According to a source, Lucien appeared to be taking action. Throughout the evening, he engaged in conversation with her, leaned in to speak softly into her ear, and danced with her on the dance floor.

It was evident that he was deeply attracted to her, and it appeared as if Zara found his presence delightful, given her constant grinning and giggling.

Casually, Sam, her former partner, found himself sitting at nearby tables while Love Island’s radiant beauty adorned a breathtaking white dress featuring intricate feathers and an audacious thigh-high slit, captivating the room.

He sat down at an exclusive table on Hits radio alongside his good friend Pete, reality TV personality Olivia Attwood from Love Island, and actress Gemma Atkinson.

However, it was just Lucien, the 32-year-old, who caught Zara’s attention. His eye-catching all-white attire coordinated flawlessly with Zara’s own white dress.

But it was only Lucien, aged 32, who stood out to Zara in his immaculate white outfit that complemented her white gown.
