Well, well, well… it seems Coachella has proven *yet again* that it can create some pretty viral moments for singers, both on and off the stage.

It’s always fun to see which of the world’s biggest celeb couples will abandon their bubbles to enjoy some nice music in the privacy of a 600,000-person festival. Exhibit A: Louis Tomlinson, who was spotted in the crowd with his rumoured new GF?!

We don’t think there will ever be a day that we won’t want to hear about a former One Direction bandmate’s relationship tea. On that note, we’re investigating whether the British babe is in fact off the market. Scroll on for a full breakdown of Louis Tomlinson’s love life.

Does Louis Tomlinson Have a Girlfriend?

While there hasn’t been any official confirmation, Louis has been linked to former Love Island star Zara McDermott.

A picture of the pair sharing a kiss was published by Daily Mail ahead of Coachella weekend two, fanning relationship rumours that had been circulating for well over a month.

In early April, fans noticed an overlap in the pair’s Instagram posts, with both Zara and Louis having shared clips from the same Stereophonics concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

Sources told The Sun at the time: “Zara has already met all the [Tomlinson] family, and they can tell that she has made Louis giddy. It’s the first time in a long time that they have seen him happy.”

“They think Zara is super wholesome and health-conscious, so they are happy he is with someone who shuns the party life,” the insider divulged.

Who Is Zara McDermott?

Zara McDermott is a 28-year-old English presenter, reality TV star and businesswoman.

She has appeared on several reality TV shows, starting in 2018 when she joined the cast of Love Island UK Season 4 as a bombshell. Zara later appeared in Made in Chelsea, competed in season 21 of Strictly Come Dancing and had her round with The X Factor: Celebrity.

After taking a career break to enter the Love Island realm, Zara became more interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of television and has since found success as a TV presenter and a documentary filmmaker. Zara played an instrumental role in the production of BBC’s 2020’s Revenge Porn, 2021’s Uncovering Rape Culture and 2022’s Disordered Eating.

Who Has Louis Dated Previously?

The former One Direction star has been linked several big names, including Hannah Walker, Danielle Campbell, Sofie Nyvang and Tamara Bell.

He famously dated model Eleanor Calder on-and-off for around 10 years, before the pair finally called it quits for good in 2023.

During a break from he and Eleanor’s romance, Louis had a brief relationship with stylist Briana Jungwirth in 2015, who he welcomed a child, Freddie Reign Tomlinson, with in early 2016.
