Zara McDermott says beau Sam Thompson will propose soon but they're putting off children

Zara McDermott has revealed she thinks boyfriend Sam Thompson is readying himself to get down on one knee and pop the question.

However, she has ruled out the pair having kids anytime soon, admitting becoming a parent isn't currently in her "frame of mind".

The former Love Islander, 25, used to believe she'd have a big family, but says it's not something she's thinking of just yet and has instead turned her attention to walking down the aisle to wed her Made In Chelsea beau.

Zara said she thinks her and Sam, 30, will have an intimate wedding ceremony someday soon and is pinning her attention firmly on that instead of growing the family.

"When I was younger, I used to think that I wanted like loads, now it's not even like in my frame of mind. You will not expect any children from me for a long time," she told Mail Online.

"We have a lovely little nephew next door, so we get our baby fix and then give it back."

On the subject of a potential wedding, Zara added she wouldn't be living with him if she couldn't see herself tying the knot.

But rather than go all out for an extravagant do, she said she'd prefer a more low-key event as she couldn't deal with the stress that comes with wedding planning.

"I think something really small, and just intimate and personal, where my really close family and friends can come," she confessed. "That's what I would want to do as a wedding."

Zara and Sam first became an item in 2019 and last year Sam gushed over how his belle was "the one" despite a rocky start after Zara cheated on him.

However, they have since gone from strength to strength and Sam told FUBAR Radio in September last year: "We’re great man. I don’t understand how I’ve still got a girlfriend, but I do still have a girlfriend.

“I wake up every morning and go, ‘it’s got to be a dream’ and I was like, ‘no it’s not, she’s still there’. And that’s with all the pranks included as well, bless her."

He then told host Bobby Norris: "I think this is it mate!"
