A superstar model

Eleanor Calder is a British model, assistant stylist and former fashion blogger.

She studied at the University of Manchester and graduated with a degree in politics and sociology in 2014.

The glamourous ex-girlfriend of Louis Tomlinson has an impressive online presence – bosting 3.3million on Instagram, where she regularly shares travel snaps and her fashionable outfits.

One Direction connection

Louis revealed in 2012 how he met Eleanor through his bandmate Harry Styles.

He said: "Eleanor was a friend of Harry's [Styles].

"He worked with her friend at a local bakery.

"One day, Harry met up with his friend, Eleanor came, and we met."

After making it official, the pair made their first public outing in 2011 at Niall Horan's birthday party.

Rocky relationship

The couple were together for four years before deciding to split in 2015.

They reunited in 2017 and were reportedly considering tying the knot, before splitting again in 2022.

A source opened up to The Sun about how Louis' work schedule had driven them apart, as the One Direction star headed on a world tour.

The source said: "It put pressure on their relationship, Louis being away for so long.

"Other things have gone down between them and for now, at least, they have split up.

"They have mutual friends and a long history, so at the moment it doesn't look like a reunion at some point is completely off the cards. But now they are not together."

Louis' next romance

Since breaking up with Eleanor, Louis was spotted on a string of dates with Zara McDermott.

The pair were seen having dinner at a hotel in Aldeburgh, Suffolk in March 2025.

Although neither star has commented on the relationship, a source revealed all to The Sun.

The source said: "Louis whisked Zara away for a break in Suffolk and he absolutely charmed her, it's clear he thinks she's drop-dead gorgeous too.

"Louis is a proper gentleman so this trip was something he planned and put on for Zara. He was really thoughtful and wanted to make it special."
