Amidst the buzz surrounding the budding romance between former "One Direction" sensation Louis Tomlinson and reality TV star Zara McDermott, which seemingly gained confirmation this week, McDermott has taken social media by storm with her recent, breathtaking Instagram uploads.
Whispers of a potential coupling between Tomlinson and McDermott first emerged in March, when snapshots of the pair enjoying a seemingly intimate dinner at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh, England, were shared online. On Tuesday night, the couple subtly hinted at their relationship status by simultaneously posting video clips from the Stereophonics concert at The Wiltern theatre in Los Angeles, captured from the exact spot amidst the crowd on their respective Instagram stories.
Tomlinson, who shot to fame as a member of the quintet British pop band "One Direction" from 2010 until their hiatus in 2016, has ventured into solo territory since the band's split, releasing two studio albums: "Walls" in 2020 and "Faith in the Future" in 2022. On the other hand, McDermott gained prominence after participating in the fourth season of the hit reality TV series "Love Island" in 2018. She also made appearances on "The X Factor: Celebrity" in 2019 and starred in "Made in Chelsea" from 2019 to 2020. Since then, she has amassed a vast following on social media, where she thrives as an influencer and content creator.
Following the apparent acknowledgment of their relationship, McDermott's recent Instagram posts have garnered immense attention, chronicling her recent travels to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
In one post, McDermott rocks a long red bikini cover-up that reveals a coordinating red bikini top, captioning the photo taken on Saadiyat Island as "the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen." Another snapshowcases her in a playful orange bikini from Monday Swimwear, snapped at Rixos Marina in Abu Dhabi. The third post features McDermott donning a long, see-through lace black dress while clutching a glass of wine.
Since news of her rumored romance with Tomlinson, these three posts have been flooded with likes and comments. While it remains uncertain whether the couple intends to officially announce their relationship to the world or when, their recent social media activities hint that they aren't exactly keeping it under wraps.
