Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott have confirmed their relationship. The Love Island contestant shared a photo on Instagram on Monday of her and the former One Direction member kissing. “I love you,” Tomlinson wrote with the photo.
There had been speculation about a relationship between the 33-year-old Tomlinson and the 28-year-old McDermott. In July, the singer wrote on X that the speculation about his relationships and family was affecting him. “It’s just too much and too hurtful to see,” Tomlinson said.
His mother died of leukemia in 2016, and his sister died of an overdose in 2019. Tomlinson has a ten-year-old son from a previous relationship with stylist Briana Jungwirth.
Tomlinson was a member of the band One Direction until 2016, known for hits such as What Makes You Beautiful, Live While We’re Young, and One Way Or Another. The band members then pursued solo careers. Tomlinson released his debut album Faith in the Future in 2023.
