Zara McDermott Sparks Explosive ‘Cheating Rumours’ After Sudden Split from Sam Thompson

Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson, one of reality TV’s most talked-about couples, have reportedly ended their relationship after several years together. According to sources, their painful breakup stems from allegations that the 28-year-old Zara was unfaithful to her partner.

The couple’s journey has been marked by ups and downs, starting five years ago when Zara was linked to music executive Brahim Fouradi during her time on The X Factor. This connection reportedly played a role in the couple’s temporary split, leaving their relationship on shaky ground.

The brief break-up came after the affair rumors emerged, but after 16 months of dating, Zara and Sam decided to give their relationship another chance. Despite the hurdles, including the affair speculation, the couple worked hard to repair their bond.

Their journey was even documented in the following season of Made In Chelsea, showing how they managed to patch things up and continue their relationship. Brahim Fouradi, a prominent figure in the music industry and former A&R director for Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment, had been involved with Zara during her time on The X Factor.

Although Sam and Zara made efforts to rebuild their relationship, a source told MailOnline that the trust issues caused by the cheating scandal lingered. “The trust was never quite the same after the cheating scandal, and as time passed, they simply just drifted apart,” the source explained.

The insider added, “It just felt like they were delaying the inevitable.” Despite their best efforts, it seems the couple could not fully recover from the damage done to their trust, ultimately leading to their decision to part ways.
