Inside Louis Tomlinson’s wild dating life as Zara McDermott ‘relationship confirmed’

Since joining One Direction as a fifth member in 2010, Louis Tomlinson has been one of the biggest names in music. Since then, he has had a few romances.

Louis Tomlinson is said to be dating former Love Island star Zara McDermott after the pair were spotted on a cosy “date” at a swanky restaurant. The pair were seen dining together at a hotel in Suffolk where onlookers said they were all smiles throughout their time at the eatery.

One observer observed, “They looked like they were the happy couple. The couple struggled to contain their laughter, according to the source, who claimed Louis was constantly making Zara “giggle” throughout the entire dining experience. During their dinner, it’s claimed Louis was the “proper gentleman” towards Zara.

Since finding fame in 2010 as one fifth of One Direction, Louis, 33, often keeps a low profile when it comes to his personal life and rarely shares an insight with fans. Instead, the Don’t Let It Break Your Heart hitmaker chooses to use his social media to promote his music projects, as well as his most recent 28 clothing collection.

But who has Louis dated in the past? Well, despite being part of the biggest boyband in the world, Louis has only had a handful of relationships that have been made public. Here, we take a look back at his love life and his past girlfriends, including a very famous actress.

Hannah Walker

Prior to finding fame, Louis dated Hannah Walker in March 2010. However, because he had to endure a long-distance relationship before he was able to become famous, the couple decided to break up just one year later. A source close to Louis at the time claimed that the relationship between him and Hannah “wasn’t working.”

Walker and Louis met when they performed in a college production of Grease together at Hall Cross Sixth Form College in his hometown of Doncaster, South Yorks. She previously referred to him as “two different people,” and she refers to him as “two different people” when she sees him on television. “One is the boy from Doncaster, and the other is Louis from One Direction.”

After their breakup, Hannah later confirmed that she and Louis were still their “best friends.” Louis responded to her post, writing: “Best, best friends. always .

Eleanor Calder

Eleanor and Louis first started dating each other in 2011, and the pair eventually became known as the “it couple.” Eleanor followed Louis around the country as he traveled with his bandmates, and they were frequently seen together at red carpet events. In 2012, the couple gave fans a brief insight into their romance.

As they watched Tom Daley take part in the 2012 Olympics in London, Louis turned to Eleanor and kissed her numerous times as they watched the athletes compete in awe. After three years of dating, Louis and Eleanor broke up in March 2015. A spokesperson at the time told US Weekly: “Louis and Eleanor split up two weeks ago.

They didn’t make the announcement because they wanted some privacy at this time. The pair reunited with one another in 2017 after their relationship ended,” they said. Three years later, Louis gave a rare insight into his life and and revealed he hoped to settle down with Calder.

If you’re enquiring about my marriage to her, what should I do? Yes, I think so! And more children, I suppose, “he told The Sun. Before One Direction’s debut single, What Makes You Beautiful, Louis explained that he had known Eleanor since then. Louis and Eleanor reunited in 2017 and even headed to Glastonbury festival with one another that summer.

On January 2, 2023, Eleanor sparked rumours that she and Louis had split up. Before ringing in the New Year, Eleanor treated her followers to a series of photos and videos from her 2022 adventures. Fans were quick to notice that Louis was conspicuously missing from all the shared memories. In one particular photo, the model is seen getting cosy with an unidentified man who’s seen planting a kiss on her cheek, while Eleanor beams brightly at the camera.

However, they decided to split up that month after five years. It put pressure on their relationship, Louis being away for so long, “a source said. They continued to tell The Sun that “other things have broken out between them, at least for the time being,” and that they have since split up. Because they have long histories and mutual friends, a reunion probably won’t occur at some point. But now they are not together. “

Briana Jungwirth

Following his initial split from Eleanor, Louis enjoyed a brief romance with American stylist, Briana in May of 2015. Two months later, it became clear that Louis and Briana were expecting a child together. Sources at the time claimed Louis was looking for a new home in Los Angeles and that they couldn’t possibly be “more excited.”

In January 2016, they welcomed their son, Freddie, with Louis confirming the news on social media. He said: “I’m pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday. He is healthy and pretty amazing. I’m very happy!” While Louis kept tight lipped throughout Briana’s pregnancy, he did speak on US television about fatherhood.

When congratulated by an interviewer, he said:” Thank you, yeah, erm, obviously it’s a very exciting time, so, err, I’m buzzing, thank you. “Louis had previously shared rumors about him and his son, Freddie, on social media, but has since protected his son.”

However, he did appear in Louis’ biographical film All of Those Voices as his young son quizzed him about his “excitedness for a concert.” Clips saw the youngster stood in the audience supporting his father with a large banner as he watched on in complete admiration for the Doncaster cheeky chap.

Campbell, Danielle

Weeks before welcoming his son, it emerged that Louis was dating American actress, Campbell, Danielle who appeared in the Disney movie, Starstruck. The couple were seen packing on the affection during a trip to Chicago. As rumours about their relationship continued to swirl, the pair kept a low profile.

This, however, changed in April 2016 when they went Instagram official. Louis took to Instagram, sharing a snap of himself kissing Danielle’s cheek alongside the caption: “Lucky.” Just one month later, they made their first official red carpet appearance, attending the Monaco Grand Prix.

That summer, Danielle was also on hand to support Louis as he and his bandmate Niall Horan played Soccer Aid for UNICEF at Manchester’s Old Trafford. However, Louis and Danielle stepped out at the Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards in October 2016 just days before they made the decision to declare it a day.

Zara McDermott

Strictly star Zara and Louis were seen together just weeks after her split from Sam Thompson. But before they were spotted in public, many fans noticed a telltale sign. Louis’ fans noticed that Louis and his sisters Lottie, Daisy and Phoebe all followed Zara on Instagram. She also followed his sisters which added to the speculation.

Former Love Island star Zara and Louis were seen giggling and holding hands while they dined on £100 fish and chips plus cocktails during the outing. “They looked every bit the happy couple,” one onlooker said of the hot new couple. Zara and Louis were spotted at Aldeburgh’s The Suffolk where rooms cost up to £315 a night.

The photographer who captured the two stars’ photos of them slicing their £100 brill and chips commented on how the pair appeared to be having a great time as they touched hands across the table. They noted how” Zara had a few cocktails “and” Louis was really making her giggle “as they spoke for ages in the swanky venue.

However, some fans believed that there may be something else happening behind the scenes. Taking to Reddit, fans aired their thoughts. One said: “Obviously, following a person on instagram doesn’t mean that people are in a relationship, lol, But, I just find it weird, and I am scared that this will be a new stunt. Especially since I’ve read about them many times. Louis is having a concert in London today, and I’m just waiting for Zara to be spotted there or that she post a story from the concert.”

Hinting that it may be a publicity stunt, they added: “Also we are overdue for a stunt from Louis, he has been publicly single for three years, I would not be surprised if we see him with a girl when his new album is released then they have to ‘break up’ when he goes on tour.” However some also believe that Louis and Zara’s connection could be work related. Zara has previously fronted a string of BBC documentaries and rumours have recently swirled suggesting that Louis’ younger sisters, Daisy and Phoebe could be set to open their doors for their own TV show.

In the past, Louis has previously slammed Love Island, the show which made Zara famous. When asked if he was watching the ITV show Louis said: “I’m not. Made the mistake of watching previous years but enough is enough. It’s not a good message for the younger people watching.”
