Louis Tomlinson goes Instagram official with Zara McDermott as he sends fans wild with gushing comment
Zara McDermott recently 'soft launched' her romance with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson by sharing a photo of her breakfast featuring Louis' arm in the background - and now Louis has shared a gushing comment on his social media
Louis Tomlinson made his relationship with new girlfriend Zara McDermott Instagram official on Wednesday evening.
It comes just a few months after Zara's split from her boyfriend of five years Sam Thompson, who is also reportedly stepping back into the dating world. Sam and Zara first started dating in May 2019, with Sam telling OK! magazine Zara made the first move. Trouble hit paradise for the pair early on as it was revealed Zara cheated on Sam while on The X Factor: Celebrity and the pair split briefly.
Zara was seen grovelling in viral Made In Chelsea scenes as she begged for Sam to forgive her – he refused to at first but eventually decided to move past Zara's cheating and the pair reunited. The couple appeared stronger than ever after reconciling, with Zara moving into Sam's plush Chelsea pad. They regularly made fun social media videos together along with TOWIE star Pete. Sadly, their romance wasn't to last as it was revealed in December they had gone their separate ways.
The One Direction singer, 33, and the Love Island star, 28, sparked relationship rumours at the start of this year after she and Louis were seen enjoying a dinner and overnight stay together at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh following reports of Zara's new closeness with the star's half-siblings.
The pair jetted off to the US together earlier this month, weeks after they were spotted enjoying a meal together at a cosy Suffolk hotel. While on their trip, the pair shared matching photographs of a view from a Stereophonics concert and Zara 'soft launched' their romance by sharing a photo of her breakfast featuring Louis' arm in the background.
Zara and Louis are yet to discuss their romance publicly, but haven't held back on public displays of affection as they were recently snapped holding hands while out in America. Now Louis has sent fans wild as he shared a gushing comment on Zara's social media post.
Zara shared a picture of herself editing her new documentary series as she explained that she is feeling more 'confident' in front of the camera and gushed that she is 'unbelievably excited' for fans to watch. She captioned the post: " In the edit for my new series all about Thailand I'm so unbelievably excited about this one.
"I can't believe I've been making documentaries for 5 years now… every year that goes by I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much. I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too.
"I learnt SO much making this programme. I cannot wait @bbcthree (Thailand will be out later this year after my stalking documentary which will be out this summer)."
Louis quickly took to the comments and wrote: 'Proud of you x'. His comment hads had over 7,000 likes and over 700 replies so far. Neither Louis or Zara have posted images together on their social platforms but fans have been noticing the likes and comments on each other's posts.

However, she also said she had since had it covered up. Advertisement The clip posted to her account @chelusionx went viral with over 900k views and 27k likes. People were quick to share their thoughts on the tattoo in the comments. Advice from a Celebrity Tattoo Artist CELEBRITY Tattoo Artist Matt Roe has revealed his top tips on getting inked to Fabulous... WHAT TATTOOS LOOK BEST? Matt says: "Tattoos are a highly personal choice, and my preference leans towards black and grey over colour. This is a style I've specialised in for over decade of my career, after exploring a variety of styles during my initial six years in tattooing. "This choice evolved from a deep appreciation for the timeless aesthetic that black and grey tattoos offer. Beyond colour preferences, it can be rewarding to choose a design that holds personal significance or matches your aesthetic tastes, although it isn't strictly necessary. "From an artistic standpoint, well-balanced designs that harmonise with the body's natural contours and enhance your features will invariably stand the test of time. "I often draw inspiration from classic pieces of art or nature for my designs, as these themes are more enduring and less influenced by trends. Whether opting for a bold statement piece or a delicate fine line design, the right tattoo should always feel like it's meant to be a part of you." WHICH STYLE IS RIGHT FOR ME? Matt shares: "Identifying the right style for your tattoo starts with some initial research. It's worth dedicating time to explore different tattoo styles - traditional, realism, and geometric are just a few examples. "Pay attention to what visually appeals to you the most. Reflect on the types of art that resonate with you in other areas of your life and consider how these preferences might translate onto your skin. "Before choosing a tattoo artist, have a clear idea of your preferred style, as most artists have their specialisations. Requesting a style outside their expertise is like asking an oil painter to create a pencil drawing—they might manage it and could do well, but it won't showcase their tried-and-tested skills to the best of their ability. "Once you've narrowed down your preferences, a skilled tattoo artist should be able to suggest designs that complement your skin tone, body type, and the intended scale of your tattoo. "The key is to blend your personal taste with professional guidance to find a style that truly suits you." TATTOOS TO AVOID? Matt recommends: "It's wise to steer clear of designs that are overly trendy, or based on jokes and fads, as these can quickly become outdated. "Some might recommend opting for heavy bold tattoos as they have been known to age better, but from my experience, a well-tattooed fine line piece can outlast a poorly tattooed bold-lined tattoo this isn't to say one is better than the other but my advice would be to choose someone experienced and skilled in the type of tattoo you are looking for. "Also, consider the long-term implications of getting tattoos with names of partners or overtly aggressive motifs, as these might limit your personal and professional opportunities in the future. "Additionally, think carefully about the placement of your tattoo, especially if it may need to be covered for professional reasons. These might not be concerns you need to consider, given your lifestyle, but having them in mind before proceeding with a tattoo is advisable. "Ultimately, a tattoo should be something that you are confident and comfortable with for a lifetime, reflecting your true self without reservation. "When looking for an artist, it's best to find ones with good reviews and healed photos of their work. Try to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and who will listen to any concerns you may have about design and placement. You don't want to feel rushed into a decision that will be with you forever." One person wrote: "I'm sorry but you definitely got the better tatt, I'll never get over what you did to Hol." Another commented: 'Do you still have it." Advertisement "They are covered now but you can see them coming through," replied Chelsea. "I need to see them covered but what an absolute violation," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I remember watching this and crying." "I've just seen the clip… You definitely got the better tattoo,' claimed a fifth. Advertisement Someone else added: 'The sad part is this is one of the best tattoos in that show in terms of the technique and actual art. Even if the idea for a tattoo was good, usually the quality and aesthetic were way below the average."

EXCLUSIVE Brutal moment Louis Tomlinson SNUBS Sam Thompson at Soccer Aid proving their feud over Zara McDermott runs deep
Louis Tomlinson has been caught on camera brutally snubbing love rival Sam Thompson after the full-time whistle blew at Soccer Aid. In a video obtained by MailOnline from Old Trafford on Sunday, the One Direction star is seen embracing players and coaching staff from both sets of teams before conducting a TV interview. But the singer, 33, ignores former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, when he comes into view, turning his attention away and grimacing, before walking over to exchange pleasantries with other Soccer Aid stars. Insiders were anticipating an awkward encounter between the pair after Louis started dating Sam's ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott shortly after the Soccer Aid squads were announced. Documentary maker Zara, 28, who found fame on 2018's Love Island, went public with Louis in March and the couple have been travelling the world together, holidaying in Costa Rica and Los Angeles. MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara were over following a five-year romance on New Year's Day and the former Chelsea star has since moved on with another former Love Island contestant, Samie Elishi. Louis Tomlinson has been caught on camera brutally snubbing love rival Sam Thompson after the full-time whistle blew at Soccer Aid While Sam and Louis did their best to dispel speculation of a feud by avoiding each other during the Soccer Aid training and match, the video, taken by a fan, proves animosity between the pair rumbles on. An insider added: 'Louis is seen literally embracing every squad member on both sides, except Sam. And the fact he looks away as soon as he comes into eyesight says it all. 'Given the charity context of the occasion there was no way either Louis or Sam were going to let their emotions get the better of them, they were there to raise money and succeeded. But there's clearly no love lost between them.' They avoided each other during a training session in the buildup to the match at Soccer Aid HQ, Champneys in Tring and were stationed on different sides of the changing room at Old Trafford, as they managed to keep any possible tension at bay. Before Sunday's match, which raised over £15million for UNICEF, The Sun revealed Sam and Louis both attended a team bonding session at the squad's hotel to ease any tension. Sam raised over £2million for the charity by taking part in a gruelling challenge, transporting the Soccer Aid match ball from Stamford Bridge, West London, to Old Trafford, Manchester, a 260-mile journey, via foot and bike. He managed to complete the task but picked up so many injuries, the reality star was unable to feature prominently in the actual match. The England teammates did not appear on the field together during the game, which was eventually won by the Rest of the World team, after Louis was withdrawn at half-time and Sam was introduced as a substitute with minutes remaining. Speaking on his podcast, Staying Relevant, which he co-hosts with close friend Pete Wicks, Sam discussed overcoming a difficult start to the year by committing himself to his Soccer Aid challenge. Sam explained: 'I have never been so low but also so high at the same time... One of the things that I will say is that mentally I don't think there was a better time for me to do that. 'On Thursday, I left a lot on that road, I left a lot there and it was one of the most mentally freeing times I've ever had in my entire life. 'We rode and ran for the longest duration, all the way down the Welsh border and we finished in Liverpool, you know I'm a bit of a talker, but it was so hard, you just had to channel something. 'I left a lot of the year that I've had on that road, and I didn't speak for an hour and a half. I was riding the bike while crying for an hour and a half just tears streaming down my face just riding like I have never ridden before. 'I have never felt so emotionally depleted but also at peace.'
