As we move on to the next page, let's take a moment to reflect on the previous one. Sam Thompson, the 33-year-old Made in Chelsea star, recently revealed a special item that his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott took with her after their split in January. Both Sam and Zara have now moved on to new relationships, but there are still remnants of their five-year romance lingering around.
During an episode of the Staying Relevant podcast, co-hosted by Sam and Towie star Pete Wicks, Sam shared a fond memory of an item from his wardrobe that now resides with his ex. When asked what he would wear to a fancy showbiz event, Sam joked that he would go for the "shock value" and wear his Crocs, adding "get the jelly shoes on". Although Pete seemed excited about the idea, he pointed out that Sam hasn't worn his Crocs in a while, to which Sam revealed that Zara had taken them.
Pete's reaction of "oh God" and a haunted look in his eye made Sam admit that he needed a new pair of Crocs as he currently didn't have any. It's been a year since their split, but it seems like there are still small reminders of their past relationship.
Sam is no stranger to wearing Crocs to fancy events, as he famously sported a pair at the 2023 NTA awards. He definitely has the track record for pulling them off, whether it's at home or on the red carpet.
In the same podcast episode, Pete confirmed that he is now in a relationship with model Talitha Balinska. He shared how they reconnected when she was invited to his live show at the O2 Arena and when he asked her to be his girlfriend, it was a "super relaxed" and "boring" moment, just the way he wanted it to be.
Meanwhile, Zara and her new beau, One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, seem to be going strong as ever. They have been spotted at various public events together, and it's clear that they are happy together.
In a recent interview on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast, Louis opened up about how his love life influences his music. He revealed that he is a deeply romantic person and that it's easy for him to write about love because of his creative nature. However, he struggles to write in a fictional sense and prefers to draw inspiration from real-life experiences. He also mentioned that his current state of being in love has a strong influence on his music.
