The Sun first broke the news that Zara and Louis were dating, just weeks after her split from the Made in Chelsea hunk.
Sam has now seemingly moved on with a Love Island beauty, but this hasn't stopped his best pal Pete Wicks from making a veiled swipe at his ex.
"I genuinely don't think I've seen you this happy for such a long time and its not just me who noticed it," Pete, 37, said as he swooned over Sam's happiness.
"You're a joy to be around, and something has just changed," Pete added, swiping at Zara in a subtle way.
He then asked Sam: "Is there anything you want to tell us?"
Pete then flashed up a snap of Sam cycling around Richmond Park with a mystery woman.
"I absolutely love her," Sam confessed.
"She's called Tracy. She's just someone I cycle with. She's not my squeeze," Sam then revealed.
Pete spoke about Zara last week when he and Olivia Attwood, 33, hosted KISS Breakfast.
Breaking his silence on Louis and Zara's new romance, Pete was keen to keep his thoughts under wraps.

"I know them, I have a slight connection there and you know, I'm happy, I'm happy for them...
"That's amazing, I've seen the pictures they're walking through a car park, really romantic...
"I'm really struggling not to say anything but it is good gossip.
"I might tell you some more off air," he said to Olivia.
This comes as The Sun recently revealed that 2023 King of the Jungle Sam recently swapped flirty messages with Love Island star Samie Elishi after they followed each another on Instagram.
A source said: "Sam found the split and its public fall-out very hard but Samie has put a smile back on his face.
"She is a stunning girl and he's told a few pals about her. He seems excited."
Meanwhile, just last week, Zara was looking smitten with her new man.
Zara and Louis jetted to Malibu, California, and gave fans a glimpse into their romantic break following a string of dates in the UK.

The Chase star Mark Labbett 'fell asleep' during Celebs Go Dating date
Mark Labbett, best known to The Chase fans as quizmaster "The Beast", was reportedly spotted committing the faux pas during a date with a mystery woman while filming Celebs Go Dating "The Beast" from The Chase, real name Mark Labbett, found himself in an amusing pickle on Celebs Go Dating after reportedly dozing off during a date. Labbett, 58, well-known for his sharp intellect and straight-talking on the hit ITV quiz show, seemingly succumbed to sleepiness while the cameras captured the moment mid-date. The latest series of Celebs Go Dating, which was filmed last month, saw an insider reveal that there wasn't much spark between the quizzing legend and his suitor. An anonymous tipster dished: "Mark was yawning a lot and drifted off briefly. It was a bit of an awkward moment. It's safe to say there wasn't much of a spark between them." Previously weighing as much as 29 stone, Mark Labbett tied the knot with second cousin Katie in 2014 but called it quits after six years. He then dated TV host Hayley Palmer in 2023; however, the couple split after just one year together, reports the Express. Discussing his break up with Hayley, 43, Labbett confided in The Sun: "She's a lovely lady and I was very lucky to date her for a year, and as I said: it's me, I got old." He continued: "There's been no one since Hayley. I'm not saying there won't be another one. But I'm certainly not looking." Delving into his love life, Labbett reminisced: "I was single, not coincidentally, for a long, long time when I was a 29st maths teacher who knew it was quite hard to attract a partner then. So I'm quite comfortable without a partner." Mark's representative quipped a witty retort when questioned about the drowsy date: "If his date was as boring as you have suggested, I'm surprised he didn't take a pillow with him!". Celebs Go Dating chose to remain tight-lipped regarding the incident.

Katie said she loves to get feedback from her daughter PICTURE PERFECT Katie Price reveals daughter Princess, 17, approves her raunchy OnlyFans photos before she uploads them KATIE Price, 47, has revealed she likes to show her raunchy OnlyFans photos to her daughter Princess, 17, before she uploads them. The mum-of-five famously started her subscription channel back in 2022, when she wore a nun's habit and a sash reading 'My body my rules' at the launch event. 3 Katie Price says she gets her daughter Princess, 17, to review her racy OnlyFans pics before she uploads them Credit: Paul Jacobs/ 3 Katie and Princess are very close Credit: Instagram Earlier this year, Katie revealed exclusively to The Sun that she can earn 'around £50,000 on a good month'. However, until February 2027, the taxman will take 40% of this as part of her first bankruptcy order. Speaking about her raunchy account on Katherine Ryan's podcast, What's My Age Again, Katie revealed that she often gets feedback from her daughter. She told the Canadian comedian: "I show Princess and she's like, 'mum, that's so good, that picture'. This and that. "This is what's funny about Princess. This is probably why we get on.' She went on: "She does her days where she goes out and does her pictures for her Instagram and she's like, mum, can you get eight outfits for me? I said, what, your clothes? "No, your clothes. I went, why do you want to use my clothes? Because your style, you do it better. So, she uses my clothes for her Instagram pictures." Katie recently revealed that she had been encouraging Princess to sign up for Love Island. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, she said: 'I keep saying to Princess, 'why don't you do Love Island?'' Revealing her response, Katie continued: ''No… because otherwise I'll be known as a Love Islander'. I said, 'No you won't, everyone knows you anyway'.' An told The Sun how Princess and her ex - who never revealed his identity during the romance - split on good terms. A source said: "She always kept the romance out of the public eye and it will be the same with her split. "They just grew apart - they were each other's first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings. "He's still on good terms with both Katie and Peter. "Princess is really concentrating on her career right now and there's no place for a man.' Princess' ex has unfollowed her on social media but does still follow all of her family members. It's been a week of highs and lows for Princess, who revealed she'd passed her driving test and showed off her £10,000 car. She proudly declared in the caption: 'I bought my first car' but was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. But Princess has now put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: 'These comments are so funny. "To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx."

Full-time dentist set to compete with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at US Open weeks after losing dad to cancer
Golfer admitted it promises to be an emotional weekend AMAZING PLAQUE STORY Full-time dentist set to compete with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at US Open weeks after losing dad to cancer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DENTIST Matt Vogt is determined to extract as much joy as possible from his emotional homecoming, as he makes his US Open debut just a couple of months after losing his father to cancer. The fact that the tournament is being played at Oakmont in Pennsylvania - where Vogt caddied for six years as a youngster before earning a college scholarship - makes the event even more poignant. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Matt Vogt is a full-time dentist Credit: INSTAGRAM @thedentistsatgc 5 He will tee it up at the US Open golf major for the first time Credit: AP 5 Vogt will go up against giants of the sport like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler Credit: Getty Vogt, 34, was born and brought up a few miles from Oakmont. So he is guaranteed plenty of support this week, especially as TV stations in the US have been portraying his story as a modern-day fairytale. At 6ft 6in, the big-hitting amateur will not be hard to spot. And he expects to experience an emotional roller-coaster over the next few days. His dad, Jim, died from colon cancer just a few weeks before Vogt earned a spot in the US Open field the hard way - winning a regional heat, and then finishing top of the pile again in a hotly-contested final qualifier. Back-to-back 68s at Wine Valley in Washington saw him finish ahead of plenty of seasoned PGA Tour players. So he has plenty of game, despite the fact he has never even considered turning professional himself. Vogt alternated between smiling broadly and fighting back tears, as he explained what it meant to be teeing off in a Major championship just a few yards away from where he used to hang out in the caddyshack. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He commented: 'Oh, wow. Oh my goodness. I don't know where to start. "I just hope that what has happened to me will be an inspiration to anyone who is going through a tough time, wondering when the next good thing will happen. Inside Bryson DeChambeau's US Open preparation with 'fun side quests' on helicopter and racing Indy500 cars 'I think everyone knows about my dad's passing, and it's bound to be on my mind a lot this week, especially with it being Father's Day on Sunday. 'Even walking up the ninth fairway today after signing some autographs for some little kids - which was pretty awesome, by the way - I kind of looked up and thought about it. 'Anyone who's lost a parent, you feel these brief spurts of emotion, from time to time. "He had colon cancer. I wear the blue ribbon for that, and I say a prayer every night for people who have been affected by cancer. 'It's a horrible, horrible thing. He got that diagnosis last year, and it wasn't good. "Over the past few months before his passing, you could see it was starting to take a toll. So it's emotional, but honestly, I know he's in a better place. 'He was beginning to suffer, and that's something no one ever wants to see. "Although I wish he was still here with us, there's a sense of peace among our family. And I hope he's at peace as well, because it was hard. 'And for me, I have a 15-month-old daughter now, and the last few months, I feel like in a way I've gone from a boy to a man, and like matured as a person and as a dad.' Vogt, who has played in the US Amateur and Mid-Amateur golf tournaments, has been inundated with good luck messages from his patients, fellow dentists, other players - and the local caddies, who are all rooting for him. 5 Vogt knows he will have plenty of colleagues rooting for him Credit: INSTAGRAM @thedentistsatgc
