Louis Tomlinson and Love Island UK star Zara McDermott seem to have made their relationship official. The duo first sparked romance speculation back in March, when they were seen dining together at a hotel in Suffolk, England. Things appear to be progressing smoothly as it's rumored that former One Direction singer Louis, 33, has already introduced 28-year-old UK reality TV show star Zara, to his family.
Zara recently ended her relationship with fellow reality TV star, Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson, 32, after a five-year run, which concluded last year. However, Zara seems to have validated the dating rumors by posting a picture of Louis on her Instagram. On Thursday (April 10), the pair seemed to be relishing a brunch date in Malibu, California .
She uploaded a snapshot of their meal, featuring blueberry pancakes and eggs Benedict. While Louis' face was not visible, his arm - adorned with distinctive tattoos - was noticeable in the corner of the image, reports the Daily Star . Hints about their joint US trip also surfaced as both Zara and Louis shared footage from a Stereophonics concert at The Wiltern theatre in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
They posted strikingly similar clips during the gig, seemingly shot from the same location. Zara and Sam were last seen together at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh in March. Stealthy shots taken by a fellow patron, and published in The Sun , showed them savoring fish and chips along with cocktails.
An insider claimed: "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. They share the same values and are both incredibly close with their families." The same insider added that Louis is very protective of his sisters, just as Zara, who also films documentaries for the BBC, is protective of her younger brother Brad.
The pair are reportedly taking things at a leisurely pace, relishing their time together. Ahead of Zara's US trip with Louis, she posted an array of stunning snaps from her family holiday to Dubai. She moved back in to her parents' home in Essex, England after moving out of the home she shared with Sam in London, following their split.
Close pals of Zara's report that Louis has brought joy back into her life after parting ways with Sam. According to MailOnline, Sam has meanwhile been cozying up to Netflix darling Lucy Syed..
