Louis Tomlinson Takes Relationship with Zara McDermott to New Heights with Costa Rica Getaway

Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has reportedly whisked his girlfriend Zara McDermott away for a romantic holiday in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. The singer, who is currently recording his new album in the Central American country, arranged first-class travel for McDermott to join him from London.

The couple, who went Instagram official earlier this year after their relationship became public in March 2025, appear to be growing increasingly serious. This romantic getaway marks a significant step in their relationship, with Tomlinson bringing McDermott to join him during his work commitments abroad.

The timing of the trip meant McDermott had to miss attending the TV BAFTAs in the UK. Their blossoming relationship follows McDermott's split from reality TV star Sam Thompson, who has also reportedly moved on with someone new.

Their paths may cross again soon, as both Tomlinson and Thompson are expected to participate in an upcoming charity event for UNICEF's Soccer Aid, which could create an awkward situation given their connection through McDermott.
