Following huge successes in their careers, insiders say Sam Thompson is hoping to take things to the next level with girlfriend Zara McDermott
He became a national treasure last month when he won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – and now sources say Sam Thompson could be gearing up for an even bigger 2024, as he’s keen to put a ring on the finger of his long-term girlfriend, Zara McDermott.
FORGIVENESS
An insider tells Closer, “Sam is still on such a huge high from his jungle win and finally feels that everything in his life is working out. He has never been in such demand career-wise and has had so many offers since getting home, as well as receiving so much love from the public. But he knows none of this would be possible without the support Zara has given him over the years – she has really believed in him and given him that confidence to just go out there and be himself.
“Being away from Zara for all that time has made Sam realise how much he needs her and loves her. Friends are convinced there’ll be a proposal soon.”
Sam, 31, and Zara, 27, began dating in 2019 after the Love Island star messaged Sam on Instagram. They hit a road bump later that year, however, when Zara admitted to cheating on Sam while starring on The X Factor: Celebrity. with their relationship breakdown playing out on Made In Chelsea.
But just months later the pair confirmed that they were back together, with Sam saying in an interview, “I think in any walk of life you can’t move forward unless you forgive. Forgiveness allows you to heal.”
