Zara McDermott said she had a wonderful birthday, calling it the ‘best ever.’ She spent the weekend away with her boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson, along with his sister, Lottie, and some friends.

The former Love Island contestant had a relaxed 29th birthday, spending it with winter walks, a delicious roast dinner, and cozy time by the fire.

Zara seemed especially joyful, smiling brightly alongside Louis’ sister, Lottie, who is an influencer, and her close friend Charli Paton.

The reality star looked relaxed and comfortable in a black long-sleeved shirt and sweatpants, carrying a beautiful two-layered white birthday cake decorated with red ribbons.

Zara looked beautiful in an off-the-shoulder sweater, carrying a large bouquet of flowers. She finished her outfit with a winter coat and hat before heading out for a walk in the countryside.

She took a photo of Louis Tomlinson from One Direction silhouetted against a beautiful sunset over a lake, and then posed for a solo picture with the same stunning view.

The TV star also posted a cute photo of Lottie and her partner, Lewis Burtun, 32, relaxing on the couch during a night off from caring for their children, two-year-old Lucky and 11-month-old Flossy.

Zara shared a recap of her birthday weekend spent with loved ones, saying she feels grateful, cheerful, and cozy as she prepares to settle in for the Christmas season.

The influencer posted a cozy selfie with Louis from their Sunday winter walk, sharing how happy she was to spend her birthday with him and celebrate the last year of her twenties. ❤️

A lovely birthday message arrived shortly after Sam Thompson publicly confirmed his relationship with Talitha Balinska on Instagram, following initial reports of their romance earlier in the month.

Okay, so Sam from Made In Chelsea finally revealed he’s seeing someone new at the beginning of December! And honestly? It felt a little… pointed. Like, he was definitely trying to show his ex he’s moved on and is doing great. I’ve been following him for ages, and I could feel the shade being thrown, even if no one else noticed! It’s all so exciting, though – a new romance for Sam! I’m totally invested.

After months of dating, Sam and 25-year-old DJ Talitha became a couple. They were first introduced by Sam’s friend and business partner, Reza Amiri-Garroussi.

On Saturday night, Sam posted a happy photo on Instagram with the musician, showing them close together during a lovely dinner date in London.

Zara was getting ready to celebrate her 29th birthday with her new boyfriend, Louis, who used to be in One Direction. She shared a happy photo of them together on social media just hours after her ex-boyfriend had posted something of his own.

The former Love Island contestant, now making documentaries, began dating the musician in March, and their relationship has steadily grown stronger since they publicly confirmed they were a couple in August.

Zara and Sam were in a relationship for about five years, starting in May 2019 and ending in December 2024.

Sam was dating Zara, 28, but recently rekindled a connection with Talitha. They reconnected when Talitha unexpectedly appeared as a guest at his concert at the O2 Arena, and according to one source, they quickly became a couple.

On their podcast, Staying Relevant, the TV star told his friend Pete Wicks that he’s in a relationship and no longer available.

Oh my gosh, he was screaming that he had a girlfriend! Like, repeating it over and over! It was so cute, but Pete just had to ruin it, didn’t he? He joked that we’d lost him to ‘the dark powers of a woman’ – honestly, Pete just doesn’t get it! It’s amazing, okay?! He’s finally found someone!

When asked about proposing to Talitha, Sam said it was very relaxed and low-key. He actually described it as quite uneventful, but explained that was exactly the atmosphere he was hoping for.

I told them I really liked them while we were at dinner, and then I asked if they’d be my boyfriend. Now that it’s out there, I’m suddenly feeling really nervous!

He told her he really liked her and felt comfortable being himself around her. He explained that at 33, he wouldn’t have spent so much time with someone if he didn’t see a future with them, and then he asked her to be his girlfriend. She said yes, which he was thrilled about.

Pete immediately congratulated his friend, noting how much progress he’d made since last Christmas, when Sam and Zara had ended their five-year relationship.

He expressed their pride in Sam and noted that things had come full circle this year. Sam excitedly replied, “Christmas is back on! I’m so happy!”

Showing just how quickly their relationship is growing, Sam shared that Talitha has already bonded with his family. He’s planning a ski trip with her, along with his sister Louise Thompson and her fiancé Ryan Libbey, in the new year.

I was so happy to see Louise, from Made In Chelsea, seem to really get along with Sam’s new girlfriend, Talitha! She posted a cute picture in October of the four of them – Talitha, Sam, Louise, and her adorable son Leo – all roasting marshmallows together. It definitely felt like a family moment, and I’m thrilled for everyone!

Okay, so Pete was asking about Sam and Talitha making things ‘Instagram official,’ you know, posting cute pics together? And Sam, ugh, he totally threw shade! He basically said there was no point in doing that, which I’m pretty sure was a dig at his ex. It was so subtle, but I know what he meant! I’ve been following him for years, I can read between the lines! It’s like he’s saying his ex needed the validation, but Talitha… Talitha is just different. I’m obsessed with this whole situation, honestly.

Pete just wanted to double-check: will there be a photo of the cats, Talitha, and you all dressed in Christmas pajamas inside Santa’s grotto?

Throughout their relationship, Sam and Zara often posted photos together on Instagram. One Christmas, they famously wore matching pajamas and posed with their cats, Albus and Cedric, in front of the Christmas tree.

Honestly, when Pete asked about Talitha, Sam immediately shut it down. He basically said he’d already gone down that road with someone else and this time, he wanted to do things totally different. Like, a complete 180! It’s so exciting to see him wanting something new, something opposite of his past… I’m already obsessed with this new direction!
