Louis Tomlinson has gone public with his new girlfriend Zara McDermott

The pair has been romantically linked for the past few months, but have kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

However, Louis recently supported Zara by praising her latest project.

The reality star opened up about her new documentary series on Instagram and said she's feeling so proud of how far she has come.

"In the edit for my new series, all about Thailand. I’m so unbelievably excited about this one. I can’t believe I’ve been making documentaries for 5 years now… every year that goes by, I feel my confidence in front of the camera, in my producing (and in myself!!) growing so much.

Zara added, "I feel really proud of this, of our amazing team for creating such a special series with so much depth to it, exploring some pretty serious topics but also capturing the fun too. I learnt SO much making this programme. I cannot wait."

Louis commented on his girlfriend's post and said he's so proud of her.

Fans couldn't help but notice the sweet remark and many said it was the perfect way for the pair to confirm their relationship.

Zara McDermott was previously involved with Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson.

The couple broke up just before last Christmas.

An insider told The Sun that Sam and Zara split up following months of arguments.

The couple’s relationship ended after Zara realised she wasn’t a ‘priority’ for Sam.

“Zara never felt like she was the priority with Sam. He always seemed to find someone or something to put before her.”

“They are both selfish in their own right and want to be successful in business as individuals, but of course that comes at a price."
