Louis Tomlinson Just Hard Launched His Relationship With A ‘Love Island’ Alum
In an uncertain world, there is one thing we will always be interested in, and that is the love lives of the One Direction bandmates. So, you can imagine our thrill this morning when we woke to the news that Louis Tomlinson and his rumoured girlfriend, Zara McDermott, hard launched their relationship on Instagram.
The news came via Zara’s own Instagram page, where she posted a single photo of the pair kissing, with Louis tagged and a simple love heart caption. Though she shared the photo, but with his arm visibly stretched out of frame, it’s clear that he took the photo and we don’t know why that detail melts us even more. He is wearing sunglasses and she appears to be wearing a swimming costume underneath a ruffled white tank top, so it looks like they are on a cute getaway together.
The pair has been linked since March 2025, when they reportedly went on a getaway together to Aldeburgh, Suffolk in England, according to Metro UK. Fans were quick to notice that Zara and Louis also posted from the same location on April 8, while attending a Stereophonics concert, then two days later, she soft launched the relationship when she posted a photo of her breakfast, with the photo showing Louis’ unmistakable cross tattoo in the top corner of the photo.
Who Is Louis Tomlinson’s Girlfriend, Zara McDermott?
Fans of Love Island, Made in Chelsea, or you know, TikTok, probably recognise Zara McDermott for her time on the shows and her past relationship with MIC star, Sam Thompson. The pair regularly posted funny TikTok videos together and with Sam’s sister, Louise, who is one of the original stars of Made in Chelsea.
The pair were together for five years and perhaps the most memorable (and memed) moment in their relationship was during a fight on Made in Chelsea. During the infamous scene, she begs for his forgiveness after telling Sam she had cheated on him, and when he said he can’t forgive her, she emotionally asks for him to forgive her. The moment was even mocked by Sam himself in 2020, and though fans were confused, he assured them that she had given full permission for him to post the video.
Who Else Has Louis Tomlinson Dated?
Before Zara, Louis Tomlinson had three public relationships. The first was an on and off relationship with model Eleanor Calder and the pair was linked for 11 years, between 2011 and 2022. Following their break up, he then dated Briana Jungwirth, who he shares a son with, and Danielle Campbell.
