Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson fuel romance rumours with sly videos on holiday

Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson have fuelled romance rumours by posting videos from the same concert.

The Love Island star, 28, and One Direction singer, 33, first sparked dating speculation last month when they were spotted together at a restaurant on the Suffolk coast.

The duo added further fire to the gossip as they shared videos from the same Stereophonics gig in Los Angeles on their Instagram Stories on Wednesday.

They posted clips of the band performing onstage just minutes apart, with McDermott tagging the group and the location as The Wiltern theatre.

Earlier in the day, McDermott - who recently split from Sam Thompson after five years together - revealed she was in LA as she shared a photo of the Crumbl cookies’ line with the Kardashian-Jenner clan, writing: “When in Rome.”

The Sun reported that Tomlinson and McDermott have been on a number of low-key dates over the past few weeks and have been speaking for a while.

“Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her, it's clear he thinks she's drop-dead gorgeous too,” a source said.

“Louis is a proper gentleman so this trip was something he planned and put on for Zara. He was really thoughtful and wanted to make it special.”

They added that the pair are taking things slow and that one good thing they share in common is how close they are with their families.”

McDermott and Thompson split in December and sources claimed that Thompson has struggled seeing the photos of his ex with the boyband star.

An insider revealed to Metro: “Sam is hurting after seeing the photos of Zara and Louis on a date.

“He’s been dealing with the heartbreak of his split from Zara – it’s only been a few months and they were together for five years as well as living together.

“Seeing her move on so quickly isn’t easy, but he’s focusing on himself and has a lot going on in his career going forward.”
