Louis Tomlinson (yes, the cheeky lad from One Direction who could make crying into a hoodie look romantic) might have just gone official-ish with none other than Zara McDermott — Love Island alum, queen of filtered sunsets, and apparently a breakfast sleuth.
So here’s what went down:
The internet has been whispering for weeks that Louis, 33, and Zara, 28, were more than just two people who know how to pose with cocktails in moody lighting. They were spotted last month on what looked like a cozy lil’ date night in England, possibly discussing horoscopes, Spotify playlists, or whether Niall Horan still uses group chat emojis.
BUT NOW.
Zara just pulled off the most subtle Instagram soft launch in the history of celebrity sneaky links. On April 10, she casually tossed up an innocent-looking Instagram Story: a cute shot of her breakfast while chilling in Malibu.
Normal people saw:
– Eggs Benedict
– A nice table
– “Wow, Zara’s got good taste in brunch.”
But the FBI agents disguised as Directioners saw:
– A suspiciously familiar arm across the table.
– A cross tattoo that looks suspiciously identical to the one Louis has.
– Pancakes. Blueberry. Classic Louis behavior. 🍇🥞
Like girl, we see you. You tried to hit us with the ol’ “It’s just breakfast” move, but this isn’t our first celeb rodeo. We’ve been trained by years of Kardashian soft launches and Taylor Swift lyric Easter eggs.
Zara had Eggs Benny, Louis had pancakes, and now we all have confirmation that this romance is heating up faster than a Malibu skillet.
Stay tuned for the next move — maybe a blurry photo of matching shoes, or the ultimate Gen Z confirmation: a TikTok lip sync duet.
But until then, we’ll be over here zooming in on breakfast plates like it’s CSI: Malibu. 🕵️♀️🥂
