But she's not the only one dipping her toes back into the dating pool.

A source close to Sam revealed to the Mirror: "Sam has been making jokes about his life since the break up, and that's not really something you'd be doing if you were experiencing total heartbreak. Of course they were sad, but they sort of accepted it a long time ago."

The insider shared that Sam has gone on dates but isn't tied down, noting: "Sam has been going out and having fun again, he's not dating anyone but he's been on dates. He's been around the Chelsea lot and hanging out with Pete [Wicks] a lot. He's really enjoying himself at the moment but doesn't want to be tied down."

‌

The source also dished on Zara's love life, stating: "Zara likes being in love - she went on Love Island, after all! Like most of us, she likes being in a happy relationship and if they're someone who understands what it's like to be in the public eye, that's even better. She feels like she's hit the jackpot with Louis."

However, things are moving slowly between the Strictly Come Dancing star and the One Direction singer as they get to know each other. Details about Zara and Louis' budding romance are still under wraps.

‌

However, speculation began a few weeks ago when observant fans noticed they had started following each other on social media. Louis' sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe also follow the documentary maker and Strictly star on Instagram, with Zara reciprocating the follows.

Zara reportedly informed Sam about her relationship with Louis before it became public knowledge. She moved out of the home she shared with the Made In Chelsea star earlier this year.

‌

The reason for their split appears to be diverging paths, with a source at the time suggesting they were both concentrating on their careers.

Sam, the 2023 winner of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, is focusing on his popular podcast with friend Pete Wicks, while Zara is working on a new documentary and maintaining her successful influencer career.

Not long before Christmas, Sam and Zara, both known from Made in Chelsea, ended their five-year-long relationship. Recently at 28, Zara has been seen getting close to Louis, and insiders claim the duo shares common values.
