Sam Thompson fans say 'they know what he's doing' as ex Zara McDermott moves on (2025)

Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson paid no mind to his ex Zara McDermott's new romance as he shared a slew of new photos, sparking a big reaction from fans online

Sam Thompson's fans were quick to comment on his new picture taken with one of his cats as he broke his silence on Zara McDermott's romance with Louis Tomlinson. His ex Zara was recently pictured with 1D singer Louis after weeks of rumours on their potential romance.

It was finally confirmed when they were seen holding hands during a stroll in Malibu. The duo seemed comfortable with each other as they made their way to Soho Beach House where they enjoyed a cosy late lunch by the ocean. After pictures were released of the duo, Sam broke his silence with cosy pictures of his own.

The very first one was taken with one of the cats he shares with ex Zara while other pictures were of him golfing, enjoying drinks with friends, selfies with friends and family, as well as holiday pictures.

He made sure to include pictures of him with his best friend Pete Wicks as well as a selfie taken with his sister Louise Thompson. The post wasn't complete without a shirtless picture where he showed off his side profile.

Sam simply captioned the snaps with a smiley face emoji and fans rushed to the comment section to comment on his "glow up".

One user said: "Was gorgeous before, but the glow up now is insaneeeeeeee," while another fan posted: "Sam! We hope you know how much you’re loved, and an inspiration to so many people."

Another fan was amused by the photo taken with his and Zara's cat, writing: "The first photo.. we know what you’re doing," as one responded: "and we're here for it."

"You look like you're in your thriving era Sam! It's lovely to see!" one commented.

Meanwhile, TOWIE star Pete recently commented on Zara's new romance with One Direction singer Louis after seeing the snaps of them looked loved-up in Malibu.

Speaking on KISS Breakfast, where he and Olivia Attwood took over from Perri Kiely and Jordan Banjo for the week, Pete said: "I know them, I have a sight 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..."

Zara was previously in a relationship with Made In Chelsea star Sam - with who she split from in December. The couple were together for five years and Pete was jokingly considered their "third wheel".

The TOWIE star featured on many of their TikTok skits and even joined them on may outings, date nights and more.
