Sam Thompson has expressed his gratitude for his sister Louise’s unwavering support following the reported breakup from his girlfriend Zara McDermott.
The 32-year-old television personality, known for his appearances on *Made in Chelsea* and *I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!*,
recently opened up about how important his family has been during this difficult time.
Although neither Thompson nor McDermott have officially confirmed the breakup, rumors of their split have been circulating since last month,
with several clues suggesting that the couple has gone their separate ways after five years together.
Thompson, in an interview with *The Mirror*, alluded to the breakup, emphasizing the comfort he finds in his family during tough times.
In the interview, Thompson shared that one of his greatest sources of comfort is spending time with his sister, Louise. He explained that despite his fast-paced life, whenever things become challenging, he finds solace by visiting his sister’s home. “It’s amazing having Louise there, and she’s an amazing mum,” he said, referring to Louise, who has a son, Leo. “One of my biggest comforts, if I’m ever going through a hard time, is my neighbours next door.”
Thompson continued, explaining that the warm, chaotic environment of his sister’s household brings him a sense of peace. “I live my life at a very fast pace, and there’s a lot going on, so when I go to their place, it’s just such a family unit and it’s a beautiful place to be.” He added that Louise’s husband, Ryan, along with his nephew Leo, contribute to a bustling but loving atmosphere that helps him cope with the pressures of his life.
Thompson also touched on his mental health, revealing that despite his upbeat persona, he occasionally struggles with the emotional toll of his work and personal life. “I talk to people about struggling a lot actually,” Thompson admitted. “I go to therapy, I’ve been going to therapy for years, I do loads of stuff. For someone like me, it’s really better to talk about how I feel, and I’ll never, I’ll never stop that.”
His sister Louise appears to have played a crucial role in confirming the rumors surrounding Sam and Zara’s split. Shortly after the news broke, Louise shared an intriguing post about performing a “bury and burn ritual” to mark the end of what she described as “one of the best and worst years” of her life. When a follower expressed concern that Louise might drop Zara from her circle if she had indeed split from Sam, Louise liked the comment, which many fans took as a subtle confirmation of the breakup.
This was not the only public sign that indicated trouble in the relationship. Earlier this month, Sam appeared on his podcast with co-host Pete Wicks, where he revealed that it had been “a tough month” for him. The timing of this comment, coupled with reports of a heated argument between Sam and Zara at the TRIC Awards in June, has fueled speculation that the couple had been struggling for some time before finally parting ways.
In a more recent development, Zara McDermott seemingly took to TikTok to share a cryptic message that many interpreted as a dig at Sam. She reshared a video showing someone staring out of a train window, with the caption: “Me reminding myself that not everyone has the same heart as me, but still can’t understand why they did what they did because I would have never done it to them.” Fans quickly speculated that this could be Zara’s subtle response to the breakup and the emotions that have followed.
Thompson and McDermott first began dating in 2019, after meeting through Instagram. Their relationship, which was largely followed by the public due to their social media presence and appearances together, has been a subject of interest for fans throughout the years. Despite their ongoing relationship challenges, Thompson’s bond with his family—particularly his sister Louise—has remained a strong foundation for him during this tough period.
As Sam continues to navigate this personal challenge, his openness about his struggles and the importance of family support has garnered praise from fans. With his sister by his side and his commitment to seeking help for his mental health, it seems that Thompson is focusing on healing while the details of his breakup with McDermott remain in the public eye.
