The Sun first broke the news that Zara and Louis were dating, just weeks after her split from the Made in Chelsea hunk.
Sam has now seemingly moved on with another Love Island beauty, but this hasn’t stopped his best pal Pete Wicks from making a veiled swipe at his ex.
“I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen you this happy for such a long time and its not just me who noticed it,” Pete, 37, said as he swooned over Sam’s happiness.
“You’re a joy to be around, and something has just changed,” Pete added, swiping at Zara in a subtle way.
He then asked Sam: “Is there anything you want to tell us?”
Pete then flashed up a snap of Sam cycling around Richmond Park with a mystery woman.
“I absolutely love her,” Sam confessed.
“She’s called Tracy. She’s just someone I cycle with. She’s not my squeeze,” Sam then revealed.
Pete spoke about Zara last week when he and Olivia Attwood, 33, hosted KISS Breakfast.
Breaking his silence on Louis and Zara’s new romance, Pete was keen to keep his thoughts under wraps.

“I know them, I have a slight connection there and you know, I’m happy, I’m happy for them…
“That’s amazing, I’ve seen the pictures they’re walking through a car park, really romantic…
“I’m really struggling not to say anything but it is good gossip.
“I might tell you some more off air,” he said to Olivia.
This comes as The Sun recently revealed that 2023 King of the Jungle Sam recently swapped flirty messages with Love Island star Samie Elishi after they followed each another on Instagram.
A source said: “Sam found the split and its public fall-out very hard but Samie has put a smile back on his face.
“She is a stunning girl and he’s told a few pals about her. He seems excited.”
Meanwhile, just last week, Zara was looking smitten with her new man.
Zara and Louis jetted to Malibu, California, and gave fans a glimpse into their romantic break following a string of dates in the UK.
