Zara McDermott expressed her unwavering support for boyfriend Louis Tomlinson in an affectionate Instagram post celebrating the release of his new music. The former Love Island contestant, 28, and the 33-year-old singer, who first went public with their romance earlier this summer, shared a sweet selfie that marked the beginning of their relationship following Zara’s split from Sam Thompson.
On Tuesday, as Louis launched his new single “Lemonade,” Zara took to her Instagram Stories to share the album cover, captioning it with a heartfelt message: “I love you so much darling!” This release is also part of the build-up to Louis’s upcoming third solo album, “How Did I Get Here?,” set to drop on January 23, 2026.
In a recent statement, Louis shared his excitement for the new era of his music career, stating that he feels he’s finally becoming the artist he aspires to be. He described the record as “the record I always deserved to make,” emphasizing the importance of honesty in his songwriting. “I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music,” he expressed.
As their relationship progresses, Zara has reportedly moved into Louis’s north London mansion, relocating from her parents’ home after leaving the Fulham residence she shared with her ex. Sources indicate that the couple is deeply in love, enjoying their time together and aiming to maximize their shared moments when not working. Zara has been creating social media content from Louis’s home, a reflection of their growing commitment to one another.
The duo’s relationship has garnered support from family and friends, with kind comments on their posts showcasing a strong bond. Having officially started dating five months ago, their romance comes after Zara and Sam Thompson ended their relationship in December due to personal and professional commitments.
Despite the bittersweet memories from past relationships, both Zara and Louis seem to be cherishing their time together, and their joyful connection paints a hopeful picture of mutual support and affection. As they both forge ahead in their respective careers, this new chapter in their lives signifies an exciting turn filled with love and promise.
