Sam Thompson has dropped a revelation no one expected — admitting that after his breakup with Zara McDermott, she allegedly made off with one of the possessions he loved most.
Yes… the item in question was not jewellery, furniture, or something sentimental.
It was his beloved Crocs.
And fans can’t decide whether to laugh or gasp.
👀 The Missing Item That Sparked the Confession
During the latest episode of his Staying Relevant podcast, Sam, 33, was chatting with co-host Pete Wicks about what he’d wear to a red-carpet fashion event.
Sam joked he’d opt for Crocs for maximum shock value.
Pete immediately cut in:
“You haven’t worn the Crocs for ages because you…”
Before Pete could finish, Sam delivered the twist:
“Yeah… Zara took them.”
Pete’s stunned “Oh God” said everything.
Sam added, half laughing, half wounded:
“I actually don’t have any Crocs now. I need to buy a new pair.”
Apparently, the foam shoes were among Sam’s most treasured comfort items.
Now?
Gone. Vanished in the breakup.
💔 Life After the Split
Sam and Zara lived together in west London during their five-year romance before announcing their breakup in January — a shock to fans who had followed their journey closely.
Since the split, both have taken very different paths:
✔️ Sam is thriving
He’s travelling, podcasting, working, and — most recently — falling in love again.
✔️ Zara is moving forward too
She’s now dating none other than One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, a pairing that sent social media into meltdown.
❤️ A New Love Goes Public: Sam & Talitha
Sam’s Crocs confession comes just days after he finally went Instagram official with his new girlfriend, DJ and model Talitha Balinska.
The pair met during a photoshoot for Sam’s eyewear brand, but only recently made their romance public.
On the podcast, Sam couldn’t contain his excitement:
“I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”
He explained how he asked Talitha to be exclusive:
“I told her, ‘I really like you and you make me feel comfortable.’
Then I asked, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said yes.”
The relationship appears serious, with Sam admitting he wouldn’t be dating someone for this long if he didn’t see a future.
👀 Meanwhile, Zara’s New Romance Heats Up
Zara’s relationship with Louis Tomlinson continues to make headlines, with fans stunned by the unexpected pairing.
Both Sam and Zara are now firmly in new chapters of their lives — but Sam hasn’t quite escaped all remnants of the past.
Because according to him…
One thing from his old relationship is still missing:
his Crocs.
