Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott appear to have confirmed rumours of a blossoming romance as they enjoyed a night out in Los Angeles together.

The One Direction singer, 33, and former Love Island star, are reported to be smitten after being pictured enjoying a getaway in Suffolk last in March, just three months after Zara’s split from Sam Thompson.

The pair have now posted similar videos to Instagram as they headed to see the Stereophonics at The Wiltern theatre in LA on Tuesday.

Zara and Louis shared the video minutes apart while the former Strictly Come Dancing star, 28, tagged the band and the venue.

Things appear to be going strong for the pair, with speculation suggesting that Zara has been introduced to Louis’ family including his makeup artist sister Lottie Tomlinson and twins Daisy and Phoebe.

A friend told The Sun: ‘Zara has already met all the family and they can tell that she has made Louis giddy.

‘It’s the first time in a long time that they have seen him happy. They think Zara is super wholesome and health-conscious so they are happy he is with someone who shuns the party life.’

Meanwhile, a source revealed that Zara’s ex, Made in Chelsea star Sam, is focusing on his career, but seeing her grow close to the former boyband member hasn’t been easy.

An insider told Metro: ‘Sam is hurting after seeing the photos of Zara and Louis on a date.

‘He’s been dealing with the heartbreak of his split from Zara – it’s only been a few months and they were together for five years as well as living together.

‘Seeing her move on so quickly isn’t easy, but he’s focusing on himself and has a lot going on in his career going forward.’

According to The Sun, Zara and Louis have been casually going on a series of dates and are seeing where things go.

A source told the publication: ‘Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her, it’s clear he thinks she’s drop-dead gorgeous too.

‘Louis is a proper gentleman so this trip was something he planned and put on for Zara. He was really thoughtful and wanted to make it special.’

After five years together, Zara and Sam reportedly called it quits in December, which is said to have come as the result of a difficult year as they both focus on individual projects.

While Zara has been busy working on documentaries, Sam had spent a significant amount of time in Australia for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’s spin-off show, Unpacked, last year.

Louis’ most public previous relationship was with Eleanor Calder, who he dated on and off from 2011 to 2022.

During a split from Eleanor in 2015, Louis briefly dated Briana Jungwirth, who gave birth to the couple’s child, Freddie, on January 21, 2016.
