Louis Tomlinson's fans are buzzing with speculation that his relationship with girlfriend Zara McDermott is getting serious, after the Love Island star shared an intimate Christmas vlog.
Fans Spot Major Relationship Milestone
In a YouTube video posted on Thursday, the 29-year-old documentary maker offered a life update, discussing her career and her romance with the 34-year-old former One Direction singer. However, keen-eyed viewers quickly identified the location of one segment as the home belonging to Louis Tomlinson's grandparents. This detail was interpreted by many as a significant step, suggesting Zara is being welcomed into the singer's inner family circle.
"Recording at Louis' grandparents' house to shush the weirdos, oh this queen is here to stay," one enthusiastic fan commented on the vlog. The sentiment was echoed by others who saw the location choice as a clear sign of long-term commitment.
Loved-Up Clues and Birthday Celebrations
Adding further fuel to the speculation, Zara later gave a glimpse of her mobile phone's home screen, which displayed a affectionate picture of the couple together. Followers were quick to connect this personal touch with the family home setting, seeing a pattern of deepening intimacy.
The Christmas vlog followed a cosy birthday weekend Zara shared with Louis in December, which she described as the "best birthday ever." The celebration included winter walks, a roast dinner, and time spent with Louis's sister, Lottie Tomlinson, and friends. Zara marked her 29th birthday with low-key festivities, sharing snaps of a two-tier cake and a huge bouquet of flowers.
A Relationship Going From Strength to Strength
Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson confirmed they were officially an item in August of this year, after reportedly beginning to date in March. The pair have been spotted on a string of dates, and their relationship appears to be growing stronger.
This new romance for Zara comes after her five-year relationship with Sam Thompson ended in December 2024. The TV personality and the Made in Chelsea star had gone public with their relationship in May 2019. Zara has since moved on with the musician, and the latest vlog has convinced many of his dedicated fans that she is a permanent fixture in his life.
