Fans suspect infidelity played a role
After five years together, reality stars Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott have reportedly ended their relationship. While Sam had openly discussed the idea of marriage with Zara, fans believe his hesitation to propose may have been influenced by Zara's infidelity in 2019.
Sam's reluctance to pop the question
Despite their discussions about marriage, Sam Thompson never proposed to Zara McDermott. Fans on Reddit have suggested that Sam's uncertainty about marriage could be linked to Zara's past infidelity, with one fan commenting, "It always sensed Sam wasn't sure."
Family struggles and moving on
Reports suggest that Sam's family, especially his sister Louise, found it challenging to forgive Zara after her infidelity with music executive Brahim Fourad in 2019 during her time on The X Factor: Celebrity. According to a source, the couple never fully recovered from the betrayal, making it difficult for their relationship to progress.
