A source told The Sun: “It’s been a tough time for Zara. The trip to Paris just helped her get away from it all.

Representatives for both Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson have been contacted by MailOnline for comment regarding their separation.
Fans have been speculating about the reasons behind Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson’s breakup, with many pointing to their lack of engagement as a potential factor.
The split comes just weeks after Sam shared a heartfelt birthday post for Zara, referring to her as his “best friend,” “soul mate,” and “person,” adding, “I’m afraid you’re stuck with me forever.” He also expressed how much he missed her over the past month.
