Sam Thompson admitting a proposal to girlfriend Zara McDermott isn’t happening anytime this year despite previously confessing he would pop the question by the end of this year.
The Made in Chelsea star, 28, who began dating Zara in 2019, admitted he’s “wary” of his girlfriend’s age, 23, and said, “we’ve got the rest of our lives to be boring”.
Speaking to the MailOnline, the TV personality opened up about being pressured to pop the question and explained that he’s in no rush to walk down the aisle.
Zara, who found fame on Love Island 2018, moved into Sam’s West London abode at the star of lockdown – and the pair recently enjoyed a luxury getaway to Mykonos.

Speaking to the publication, he explained: “A lot of people, especially in this industry, they meet each other and then it’s marriage after a year. I just don’t believe in that.
“We’re so young still, especially Zara she’s 23. There’s so much life to live.
“I don’t mean sh**ging around or anything like that, I mean to follow what you love and not have any restrictions around you.

“I’m very wary of Zara’s age but also mine as well and not wanting to tie things down. We’ve got the rest of our lives to be boring and sit at home and be husband and wife.”
Sam added: “A lot of people don’t agree with me. It’s so much pressure. People are constantly asking ‘When are you going to put a ring on it?’
“I love her and I want to be as careful and as cautious as possible because I don’t want to f*** it up.”

Sam bashed celebrities who “want the Hello! magazine deals, so strap on a ring within five seconds,” insisting he isn’t going to follow the pack.
His recent comments come weeks after Sam opened up about popping the question to Zara during a chat with Celebs Go Dating’s matchmaker, Paul C Brunson.
Sam, who appeared on the show twice but failed to strike up any romance, was asked by Paul: “I have one question, have you proposed to your girlfriend?”
“I will, I will,” he replied.
