Taking to Reddit, fans of One Direction's Louis Tomlinson have shared theories he and Zara could be connected.
The pair now follow each other on Instagram, and eagle-eyed fans spotted that Louis's sisters, including make-up artist Lottie Tomlinson, and twins Daisy and Phoebe, follow Zara too.
In the post on the web forum, One Louis fan : “I've read a lot of rumours that Louis is in a relationship with Zara McDermott.
“They recently started to follow each other on instagram. She follows all of his sisters, and they follow her back.”

“Obviously, following a person on instagram doesn't mean that people are in a relationship, lol,” they add. “But, I just find it weird, and I am scared that this will be a new stunt. Especially since I've read about them many times.”
“Louis is having a concert in London today, and I'm just waiting for Zara to be spotted there or that she post a story from the concert,” they added.
But other fans weren’t completely buying the new speculation, believing that it was more likely to be connected to Zara’s work as a documentary filmmaker.
“He's been 'publicly single' for so long now, I've really been hoping stunt relationships were over,” dismissed one fan.

“I also heard rumors that she's part of the rumored series the twins are trying to get going, so fingers crossed it's more about that.”
“I’ve heard about the link with a documentary as well. Zara has been involved in a recent change in the law as it’s now illegal to threaten to share images without someone’s consent,” said a second.
Sam Thompson sparks concerns as fans say he ‘looks and sounds so low’ after Zara McDermott’s cosy Brits display with actor
“I can see something like that appealing to Louis, even though it’s revenge porn that is the basis of Zara’s law change.”
“I‘m seeing a lot of people posting that they think they are dating. Just because he followed her? Weird! I’m sure he follows a lot of people,” noted a third.
“Yesterday, people were saying, ‘Watch. She will be at his show today.’ I haven’t seen any evidence of that. And he said in the past that he has no time for anyone that has anything to do with Love Island 🤣.”
But others weren’t so sure, with another saying: “I think there is a documentary about the Tomlinson’s being produced since the sisters are interested in being England’s version of the Kardashians. Zara has worked on documentaries, maybe she is involved with that.
“Also we are overdue for a stunt from Louis, he has been publicly single for three years, I would not be surprised if we see him with a girl when his new album is released then they have to “break up” when he goes on tour.”

The new theories have swirled shortly after Zara was seen “getting close” to Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount at the Brit Awards.
According to DailyMail, Zara and Lucien were seen sitting and talking together throughout the ceremony, with Lucien getting flirty.
They said: “Lucien was making his move. He was chatting her up all night, whispering in her ear and dancing with her He seemed really smitten.
"Zara clearly enjoyed his company as she couldn’t stop smiling and laughing.”
Meanwhile, Sam was seated at the Hits Radio table with his best mate Pete Wicks, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, and actress Gemma Atkinson.
Despite their flirty display, a representative for Zara was quick to shut down the rumours, “categorically denying” anything romantic between her and Lucien happened.
Zara split from Sam Thompson after five years together in December, and although neither are yet to address the break-up directly, it’s believed it was largely down to their increasingly busy schedules keeping them apart.
A source previously lifted the lid on the reasons behind the split, telling : "Sam and Zara have ended their relationship.
"It's been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways; they still care and have a lot of love for each other.

"But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.
"There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it's just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects."
