Glastonbury has always been known for unexpected moments, but festivalgoers got more than they bargained for last weekend when Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson were spotted getting cozy in the middle of the crowd.
Among the music, mud, and madness, the new couple were caught on camera enjoying each other’s company—completely in their own little world during Skepta’s set.
PDA in the Crowd as Glastonbury Fans Do a Double Take
The video, which quickly made its way to TikTok, shows the Love Island alum leaning back affectionately into the former One Direction star’s arms, looking relaxed and happy.
“Glastonbury is mad because you can be dancing to Skepta and boom Louis Tomlinson is next to you,” one festival-goer captioned the viral clip.
But while some fans were thrilled, others couldn’t help poking fun at their very public affection.
Comments like “Is Zara well in this? LOL” and “It’s so funny” quickly filled the post.
Zara Reflects on Life After Sam Thompson
Before heading to Somerset, Zara gave a candid interview where she finally spoke out about her breakup with Made in Chelsea co-star Sam Thompson.
After five years together, the pair called it quits in January.
But it didn’t take long before headlines shifted to her new romance with Louis, who she was spotted on a date with just weeks later in March.
A Holiday, a Football Match, and One Awkward Reunion
Things moved quickly between Zara and Louis—they jetted off on holiday not long after getting together.
But the real test came during last month’s Soccer Aid event at Old Trafford.
That’s where Louis reportedly ran into Zara’s ex, Sam, for the first time.
Despite what were described as “peace talks” at the team hotel, Louis allegedly blanked Sam after the match, making for an awkward encounter.
Zara herself wasn’t at the event, but her absence didn’t stop the drama from unfolding.
Zara Opens Up About Public Scrutiny
Zara has admitted that the attention on her personal life has been overwhelming at times.
In an interview with The Sun, she said the constant spotlight on her relationships has been “frustrating,” adding, “The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.”
She also shared how she’s stepped back from the glamorous social media lifestyle she once embraced, saying she now prioritizes real relationships over perfect pictures.
A More Grounded Perspective on Fame
Now 28, Zara says she’s a completely different person from the one who entered the spotlight at 21.
“I don’t care about social media as much as I used to,” she admitted.
“I value real support, real relationships, and being that for others too.”
It seems like fame hasn’t gone to her head—and she’s more focused on the people in her life than ever before.
Family Approval From Louis’s Inner Circle
If there were any doubts about Zara’s place in Louis’s life, they were put to rest this weekend.
She was seen cuddling up to Louis’s sister, Lottie Tomlinson, during the festival—posing arm-in-arm in matching festival energy.
Lottie, who has a tight-knit bond with her brother, seemed to give the relationship a solid stamp of approval.
Fans Are Here for the Zara and Lottie Bond
Lottie shared several snaps from their Glastonbury adventure on Instagram, featuring her, Louis, Zara, and her fiancé Lewis Burton.
But it was her moment with Zara that had fans buzzing.
“YOU AND ZARA OMG,” one comment read, while another gushed, “You and Zara are my favorite duo!” Some even joked they cared more about Zara and Lottie than Louis himself.
A Relationship That’s Gaining Strength
Despite the public jokes and awkward reunions, Zara and Louis appear to be going strong.
From romantic holidays to dancing in muddy fields and winning over family members, their relationship seems to be evolving naturally—with all the ups and downs that come with celebrity dating.
What’s Next for Zara and Louis?
Only time will tell how things unfold, but for now, Zara and Louis are enjoying life in their own rhythm.
Whether it’s arm-in-arm at a festival or skipping social media clout for real connection, they’re proving that sometimes, love really does show up when you least expect it—even in the middle of Glastonbury.
