They were together for over five years, which is practically a lifetime in the world of Made in Chelsea, but at the end of last year, Sam Thompson and his Love Island girlfriend, Zara McDermott called time on their romance.
Neither of them officially announced the split; the couple slowly but surely started appearing less and less on each other's social media before it became clear that they were no longer an item.
A few months later and rumours began to circulate that the Love Island 2018 bombshell was dating One Direction star, Louis Tomlinson.
Speculation started after fans noticed Zara and Louis followed each other on social media and even threw a few cheeky post likes each other's way – a MASSIVE hint some sauciness is afoot.
Reddit is now brimming with fan theories that the two have struck up a love affair with The Sun also reporting on the romance. Amidst all of that, Sam has now taken to Instagram to announce that he is ALSO going on a 'date.'
We haven't even paraphrased or mixed up his wording; the former MIC star posted a selfie on his Instagram story and wrote, 'Waiting patiently for my date...'
Like the suckers we are we gave a little gasp and excitedly tapped for the next story and it turns out that Sam was on a date, but we have a feeling it's purely platonic...
Well, if it's not platonic someone should really let Rochelle Humes know, as Sam's mystery date was with his I'm A Celeb bestie, Marvin Humes.
Neither Zara or Sam have soft launched any sort of budding new romances, let alone announced they're in new relationships, but if you ask us, it's only a matter of time.
