Well, surprise, surprise! A certain former boybander, who’s apparently still clinging to his youth at 34, was spotted at that World Cup semi-final match, and guess who was by his side? None other than his new flame, Zara McDermott, age 29, who’s giving us serious Jetsetter Barbie vibes as they jet off to cheer for England—who, let’s be real, didn’t need the extra support considering they got their little hearts shattered by Argentina’s 2–1 victory. YIKES.
Now, hold on to your drink because this is where it gets juicy. Zara has been spilling the tea about her struggles with beauty sleep while the lovebirds are apart. Apparently, she’s tossing and turning like she’s starring in a less-than-thrilling Netflix drama. Long-distance romances can be a real bear, especially when you’re flying back and forth like it’s some sort of celebrity marathon. In her latest YouTube confessional, she revealed her ‘sleepless nights’—can you imagine? Three shows in a month and counting? Please, she’s practically counting sheep while pining away for her man.
The couple has been dating since March 2025, fresh off her five-year stint with a certain presenter (sorry, Sam Thompson, but it looks like she’s found a new reason to avoid sleep). Are we shocked they’re trying to make this whirlwind romance work? Absolutely not! Just another day in Celeb Land, where love means never having to apologize for hopping on a private jet just to watch your partner’s dreams go up in flames. What a sweet little life they’re leading—if only it came with a side of actual wins!
