Sam Thompson, aged 32, was left surprised and upset after finding out that his ex-girlfriend Zara had started dating shortly after their five-year relationship ended in December. A source disclosed to The Sun that Sam was devastated by the news, as the breakup had a profound impact on him. Taking a break to focus on himself, Sam felt blindsided and embarrassed by Zara’s quick move to date someone new. Coping with the aftermath of the split has been challenging for him, and he has been leaning on work, friends, and family to distract himself.
During this tough period, Sam’s close friends, including Pete Wicks, have been supportive, especially after recent events. Despite the difficulties, Sam is determined to move forward and leave the past behind. He is looking ahead to upcoming projects, such as the Staying Relevant Live event with Pete at the O2, viewing it as a significant step in his career. Amid efforts to engage in activities he enjoys, Sam is optimistic about the future and sees this as a fresh start for himself.
Meanwhile, Zara McDermott, aged 28, has moved on from her relationship with Louis Tomlinson following her split from Sam earlier this year. Reports confirm that she has purchased a new property near their former shared home, valued at £500,000. The proximity of their new residences may lead to awkward encounters in local establishments.
In another development, Sam discussed his breakup on his podcast, Staying Relevant, seeking advice on dealing with emotions post-relationship. Zara, on the other hand, has been seen enjoying a romantic date with Louis in Suffolk, sparking further speculation about her new relationship.
