Sam Thompson has revealed he sought therapy to cope with his breakup from Zara McDermott, after the pair ended their five-year relationship last Christmas.
The TV presenter, known for his usually upbeat demeanour, admitted to struggling with the separation, which was reportedly amicable and mutual. Speaking to Mail Online alongside his friend Pete Wicks, Thompson said: "I needed therapy to help me process that change in my life." He added that he had been neglecting friends and family due to work, warning against burnout.
Thompson also expressed his desire to become a father, stating he only dates with a long-term future in mind. He is now in a relationship with DJ and model Talitha Balinska, whom he met at a photo shoot in 2023. The pair reconnected earlier this year and went official on his podcast.
Meanwhile, Zara McDermott has moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. She shared a photo of them together on her 29th birthday, captioning it: "The best birthday ever with you."
