Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott had some of their fans and closest friends scratching their heads over one of the latest snaps from their tropical holiday.
The couple have been lapping up the sunshine on their romantic getaway to the Maldives over the past couple of weeks.
Made in Chelsea star Sam, 30, was even tickling people with his mocking of influencers as he larked around their luxury ocean-front villa with Zara, 26, posing for pictures in his girlfriend’s bikini.
However, Sam’s latest Instagram upload took on rather a soppier tone as he posted a picture of him and Zara kissing in front of a gorgeous sunset backdrop.
The couple was dressed more formally in a patterned shirt and dark trousers for Sam, while Zara even popped her foot during the smooch as she modelled a blue and white floral dress.
‘Sam the sunsets out get the tripod we need to do a kissing picture! 😂 [sic]’ he quipped in the caption.
The radio presenter then added in more sincere comments: ‘Jokes aside what a 2 weeks we’ve had. Travelling seeing the most beautiful sights with my best friend and soulmate.
‘I’m so lucky. Love you so much, goose. Memories I’ll never forget ❤️❤️❤️❤️’
Considering their clinch in the image, as well as Zara’s hand resting on Sam’s torso with her ring finger just concealed, the photo had followers doing a double take, thinking it was an announcement of their engagement.

‘Genuinely thought this was a proposal photo, was about to start a wish list for the stag! 🍻’ wrote Sam’s pal and Made in Chelsea co-star Josh Patterson underneath Sam’s upload, joining in the wave of confusion in the comment section.
‘Ahhhh I thought this was an engagement announcement 😆,’ posted one follower, while another added: ‘Not me thinking this was a proposal post.’
‘I need to stop thinking every Sam and Zara post I see is an engagement post 🥺😭,’ vowed a different follower.

‘I thought this was a post to say Sam proposed,’ chimed in another, while one fan admitted: ‘I have never wanted a couple I don’t know to get engaged more than you two!! Fully invested in this lol 😆’
However, others were urging people to butt out of Sam and Zara’s relationship.

‘The pressure for Sam to propose is ridiculous. Ever thought that they may not actually want to get married?’ asked one follower in the comments.
‘It’s the 21st century people… leave their wonderful relationship alone and let their love just be ❤️’
The couple have been dating since early 2019 with Sam telling Metro.co.uk back in 2021: ‘Wedding bells are definitely on the horizon and I think we’ll have children in the not too distant future. I’m about to become an uncle very soon.

‘I’m looking forward to that and honing my skills as a budding parent with my nephew.’
He also laughed over the ‘messy pranks’ he often pulls on his girlfriend, explaining: ‘We’ve been together for more than two years and she says, “If we’re going to be having kids and getting married, you’re going to have to change.” I tell her, “I’m sorry, this is the guy you’re in love with. This is how it’s going to be.”‘
Metro.co.uk has contacted Sam Thompson’s reps for comment.
