Louis Tomlinson, Zara McDermott ‘confirm romance’ with first outing

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson was spotted having a private dinner with rumoured partner Zara McDermott in March.

The couple has made their first public appearance, seemingly ‘confirming’ their rumoured romance.

The pop star, dressed in black hoodie and tracksuit trousers, was spotted holding hands with the TV star as they were on their way to grab lunch at Soho Beach House in Malibu.

Previously, the pair had dropped hints about being each other on their social media platforms by posting pictures of the same show from the same night.

Zara had recently posted a snap of her breakfast in Los Angeles on her Instagram story, which eagle-eye fans were quick to spot featured Louis sitting across the table.

Louis and Zara had recently left their long-time relationships before moving on to this new phase of their lives as the singer is also coming out of the grief of losing his bandmate, Liam Payne, who died in October 2024.

Who was Louis Tomlinson’s longest relationship?

Louis Tomlinson’s longest relationship was with Manchester-born fashion influencer Eleanor Calder, who he dated on-and-off from 2011 to 2022. The two eventually split in 2022 for the last time.
