Five years since one of reality TV’s hottest couples, Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott went public with their romance, they appear as smitten as ever.
The pair, who live together in west London, are the proud parents of two cats and could be set for their next big milestone, according to a source.
Sharing that Sam is hoping to pop the question to his long-term girlfriend soon, our source said the ex-Made In Chelsea star will be getting down on one knee within a matter of months. “Insiders say Sam is very close to proposing to Zara and think he will do it by the summer. They talk about getting married all the time and what their wedding would be like,” they explained.
“They’re torn over having a traditional English wedding or doing something abroad somewhere like Ibiza and just having all their friends and family out there for a few days. They both love a party and want to be able to celebrate in style.”
The couple began dating after former Love Island star Zara messaged Sam via Instagram in 2019, but they hit a bump in the road a year later when Zara admitted to being unfaithful, leading to a temporary split.
