Sam Thompson had an emotional and heartwarming moment with his sister Louise this Valentine’s Day as they celebrated a different kind of love.
Following his breakup with Zara McDermott, Sam spent the day with his sibling to mark the occasion in a special way.
The siblings, who live next door to each other, shared a glimpse of their touching celebration through an Instagram post.
Louise’s Heartfelt Gesture with Her Book and Sam’s Reaction
Louise, 34, posted a beautiful video that captured the intimate moment, revealing how she had transformed her home for the occasion.
Candles filled the floor, and individual pages from her memoir hung on strings from the ceiling.
In the video, Louise invited Sam, 32, over to read a page from her book that was dedicated to him in the acknowledgements section.
Sam was surprised and touched by the gesture, admitting he hadn’t seen it before.
As he read the emotional passage aloud, he became visibly moved.
The excerpt thanked him for his unwavering support, especially during tough times, and praised him for always being there for her despite the challenges they faced.
Sam fought back tears as he read lines like, “Thank you for asking me how I was doing on repeat even if I could only respond with the word ‘anxious’ 10,000 times.”
Sam and Louise’s Special Bond: More Than Just Family
Sam, trying to hold back his emotions, hugged Louise and expressed his appreciation.
“Oh, I didn’t even think I was going to cry,” he said, wiping his eyes.
“Aww mate, that’s so sweet, and I’m like your older brother.”
Louise echoed the sentiment, saying it was a relief to have an older brother now.
Their bond was clear, and Sam reflected on how he’s always been the one to check in on her and provide emotional support.
The emotional moment ended with Sam asking if he could keep the page, joking that he wanted to frame it.
The sweet video revealed just how strong their sibling relationship is and how much they support each other.
Louise’s Difficult Health Journey and Valentine’s Day Reflection
Louise has been very open about her health struggles, especially after nearly dying while giving birth in 2021.
Her experience left her with PTSD and severe post-natal anxiety, and she’s been candid about the emotional toll it took on her.
In her Instagram caption, she reflected on this Valentine’s Day, calling it a celebration of “a different kind of love” – one focused on family, acknowledgment, and the love of books.
She also mentioned how some of her family members still hadn’t read her full memoir, likely due to the painful parts of her story.
Louise cleverly used this moment to get them involved in reading it in smaller, more manageable pieces, which made for a heartwarming gesture.
Fans React to the Candles and Louise’s Cozy Setup
While fans were moved by the heartfelt gesture, some expressed concern over the candles set up under the hanging pages.
Comments flooded in, with some fans joking about the fire hazard, with one person commenting, “Am I the only one who is getting anxiety over those candles on the floor?” Despite the worries, most people admired the effort and thoughtfulness behind the setup, with many calling it “the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.”
Sam and Zara McDermott’s Breakup and What Comes Next
As Sam shared this tender moment with Louise, his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott was in Thailand, looking stunning in a red swimsuit as she posed on the beach.
Zara, 28, had recently moved out of their shared home in Chelsea after their breakup in December.
She shared stunning photos of herself sipping coconut water and cooling off in the ocean, with a caption that read, “Coconut queen.”
While Sam spent time with his sister, Zara was dealing with her own emotional day, sharing a cryptic post about feeling better after a difficult moment.
She had been working on a new documentary in Thailand, and the stunning scenery seemed to provide some comfort.
Sam Opens Up About His Breakup and Family Dynamics
Sam also gave his first public insight into his breakup with Zara during a podcast appearance.
When asked about dating someone his family didn’t approve of, he quickly made it clear that it was a nonstarter.
He mentioned how important his family’s opinion is, especially his sister, Louise, who always makes her thoughts known.
“Most of the time when we break up, it is my fault in my sister’s eyes,” Sam admitted.
“She’ll look at me and go, ‘What have you done?’ every time.”
In the end, it’s clear that Sam and Louise’s close-knit relationship continues to be a source of strength for both of them as they navigate their personal lives and challenges.
