Sam Thompson has broken his silence following his split from Zara McDermott. The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, had been in a relationship with Love Island's Zara, 28, since 2019 and lived together in a lavish London home. They share beloved cats and live next door to his sister Louise Thompson, yet their romance has come crashing down. Sam and Zara called time on their relationship after spending Christmas and New Year apart.
Following the news of their split, Sam took to Instagram on Monday morning to share a motivational video with his fans, captioning it: "Good morning for us all incoming." Speaking on his Instagram Stories, Sam discussed the rainy weather with his followers before declaring "but I feel you're going to have a really good day. You're going to have a really good week - and I'm never wrong.".
In the video, Sam goes on to say: "Lets have it! And there is a new episode of Stayin' Relevant out, so check that out. Pete's in a good mood for this one." It comes after he posted a video to his Instagram where he bragged about 2025 being the "best year ever" in the wake of his split. He shares a cheery video with his followers. In the animated clip, Sam walked along a street as he said: "New year! 2025 baby come on let's have it! I can't wait. The New year is going to be amazing and you're going to have the best year ever. And you know I'm always right." He ended the clip by kissing his camera.
I'm A Celebrity winner Sam rang in the new year by partying at London's Kensington Roof Gardens with former Made in Chelsea co-stars Reza Amiri-Garroussi and Josh Patterson. Meanwhile Zara had stayed at home with their cats. A week earlier, Sam had been handing out presents and volunteering for a charity on Christmas Day, while Zara spent the time in Upminster, Essex, with her family.
