Sam Thompson is said to be dating again after his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott reportedly moved on with Louis Tomlinson. The curious couple sent shockwaves through the showbiz industry when they were papped on a romantic date recently. However, Zara, 28, is not the only one to have moved on.
A source told the Mirror that Sam, 32, is dating too, revealing: “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.
“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."
Speaking about Zara and her reported new relationship, they continued: "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.”
Zara and Louis Tomlinson have fuelled speculation they are dating after being spotted at a cosy dinner in Suffolk. The Strictly Come Dancing star - who split from Sam in December - was seen on a date with the One Direction singer, but the pair are said to be taking things slowly as they get to know one another.
