It was recently reported that TV stars Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott have called time on their five-year relationship.
It’s believed the couple were growing apart over the final year of their relationship. Fans had noticed the pair mentioning each other on social media less and less, but hoped there was nothing more to it.
However, neither Sam nor Zara have actually spoken out about their rumoured separation. And fans want to know why.
But now in an exclusive chat with Entertainment Daily, brand and culture expert Nick Ede has offered his opinion as to why they may have decided to remain silent…

Expert Nick Ede weighs in on Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott ‘split’
Nick explained: “I think this is a time for them to keep quiet and respect each other’s privacy. Both have large public profiles and will want to address their split when they are ready.”
However, it could be a good thing that neither have actually spoken about it. As it could hint they are trying to fix things behind the scenes.
The reported split comes months after it was believed the couple were having ‘crisis talks’ about their relationship. Something which they also never acknowledged.
Nick continued: “It could be a case that they are looking at ways of rectifying the relationship. There are more than the two of them in the relationship and so a split would be huge for them, their friends and also brands.”
According to Nick, the silence of Sam and Zara could be to have a “cooling of time” to try and “get the magic back”.
