Sam Thompson reveals he is ‘not ready’ for a relationship after Samie Eilishi split as his sister encourages him to go for someone ‘classy’

BBG News

Sam Thompson expressed in a recent podcast release on Wednesday that he isn’t prepared to start dating once more after parting ways with Samie Eilishi, as he shared candidly about his feelings.

Over the weekend, TopMob dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through the fandom – it seems my two-month whirlwind with that Love Island sensation, 25, has come to an end. I’ve been utterly captivated by their charm and grace, but alas, it appears our love story may have lost its sparkle.

As a dedicated follower, I recently learned that the ex-star of Made In Chelsea shared an interesting tidbit about his love life. His sister, Louise, has expressed her thoughts, hoping I’ll find someone sophisticated or affluent in my romantic pursuits.

On the “Staying Relevant” podcast with his good friend Pete Wicks, Sam confided that due to his recent split, he is currently not planning to engage in a new relationship for some time.

He mentioned that Louise suggests I date Emma Watson, the actress known for her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.

Laughing, Pete replied: ‘I think you have more chance with the ginger fella’.

Sam mentioned, ‘Ron! Louise suggests I aim for a British actor instead, as she feels it’s a bit unique and not exactly ‘classy,’ but rather upper-class.’

Pete joked: ‘Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.’

Affirming his decision to focus on personal growth, Sam straightforwardly stated, “I won’t be dating at the moment. I need time for self-improvement; I’m not ready yet, and I’ve come to understand that.

In April, he began a relationship with Samie, and following Olivia Attwood’s birthday celebration, they were seen sharing an intimate kiss.

He had not been involved in a public romance since parting ways with his long-term girlfriend, Zara McDermott, who is now dating One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, at the age of 28.

It was verified that the couple chose not to advance their relationship because of their demanding work commitments. Lately, Sam has been successful in raising more than £1.6 million for UNICEF following his completion of an arduous 260-mile charity event.

Last year’s I’m A Celebrity winner mentioned that participating in the massive undertaking, during which he carried the Soccer Aid match ball from London’s Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford this year, provided him with the concentration necessary to conquer a challenging beginning to 2025.

Simultaneously, Samie, whom Sam had presented to his close friend and fellow host of Staying Relevant, Pete Wicks, has been globetrotting for different brands since her participation in Love Island: All Stars earlier this year. Among the destinations she visited were Mykonos, Greece, with Space NK.

According to a source, the relationship between Sam and Samie simply lost its spark. At first, there was intense chemistry between them, but their hectic schedules hindered their ability to enjoy meaningful moments together.

‘Since splitting with Zara, Sam has found himself in his initial romantic involvement. He seems more inclined towards focusing on his work for now, rather than entering into a new long-term relationship.’

After Sam left his relationship with Samie, it was followed by his sister Louise expressing her opinion about who Sam should date.

In the recent episode of the Staying Relevant podcast, I expressed my enthusiasm about the prospect of venturing into dating someone who operates beyond the media sphere. I believe such an experience could bring a fresh and exhilarating dynamic to my life.

You could benefit from having someone who challenges you a bit, someone who isn’t afraid to speak up when they disagree with you, and who won’t allow you to always have your own way. In a relationship, it shouldn’t be that there’s only one correct path (Sam’s way), but rather a balanced conversation where both parties are heard.

Louise mentioned, “By the way, if you’re choosing a well-known path, could you possibly find someone who I would connect with well? Ideally, a young, British actress, similar to Emma Watson.

In my perspective as a lifestyle connoisseur, the remarks made by the ex-Chelsea player on the podcast sparked a fan to express that they had never truly taken a liking to Zara.

But Louise hit back, saying: ‘I have to interject here. I actually really adored Zara.’

TopMob has contacted Sam and Samie’s representatives for comment. 

After Zara spoke publicly for the first time about her separation from Sam, she shared that she found the supposed drama surrounding their break-up to be irritating because it didn’t actually exist.

For a more conversational and straightforward rewording, consider the following: Sam and Zara spent five joyful years as a couple, many moments of which were captured on Made In Chelsea. However, it wasn’t long before Zara started seeing Louis after their relationship ended.

It appears that Zara and her latest love interest were clearly fond of each other, spending their time on delightful dates and romantic vacations. However, it was just last week when Louis and Sam finally met for the first time during Soccer Aid.

An unusual exchange took place after the game at Old Trafford, it appears that Louis may have ignored Sam, contrary to their supposedly peaceful discussions held at the team hotel prior.

The central figure in the unfolding events was conspicuously absent, as it turns out Zara is acknowledging that the response to her romantic situation has been quite vexing.

Speaking to The Sun regarding their imminent on-field progression, Zara expressed, ‘The sole aspect of my life that’s significant enough to put into words is my line of work.’

As a devoted follower, I must share that she’s disclosed an interesting detail about her lifestyle. Although she continues to share glamourous moments on her Instagram, she’s significantly reduced her online activities. Instead, she’s found solace and focus in nurturing her relationships offline, making them more grounded and meaningful.

She admitted that she no longer places significant importance on social media as she once did, focusing more on genuine connections and true emotional support in her life. Furthermore, she emphasized that she wants to be a source of such relationships for others as well.

I’ve undergone significant changes since I entered the world of show business at age 21. My everyday life now bears little resemblance to the glamorous image that world presented.
