Love Island’s Samie Elishi and MAFS’ Bec Zacharia secret friendship revealed: Unrecognisable stars seen working together in London before finding separate reality stardom

Before becoming well-known through shows like Love Island and Married At First Sight, Samie Elishi and Bec Zacharia were already acquainted.

Fans on social media discovered old photos of the pair working together in London in 2018 and 2019. The pictures show them posing at a conference and taking a black and white selfie on Bec’s social media account.

An Australian reality TV personality is stirring up drama on the current season of Married At First Sight Australia. Meanwhile, Samie recently won Love Island All Stars in February, after first appearing on the show in 2023 and again in 2025.

TikTok user sophi3fox posted a video featuring photos of the pair, along with positive reactions and expressions of affection in the comments.

Okay, so here’s the tea: a viewer noticed Samie unfollowed Bec, and honestly, it’s not surprising. Bec’s quickly become the ‘villain’ of the show with all the drama she’s stirring up, so this seems like a natural reaction.

Bec and Samie seem to have worked together when Bec lived in the UK, as a photo shows them with other coworkers.

This news follows quickly after Samie and Tyrique Hyde, also from Love Island, publicly announced they were dating, posting affectionate photos from their recent trip to Morocco.

The couple arrived in Agadir, Morocco, on Wednesday for a getaway to get to know each other better.

Samie, age 26, and Ciaran Davies, 23, won the third series of Love Island: All Stars in February. However, they broke up just three weeks later, despite sharing a £50,000 prize.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve been following the connections forming after Love Island, and it’s lovely to see some real bonds developing! I’ve noticed that one of the contestants from the 2023 season, season nine to be exact, is getting quite close with Tyrique, who was on season ten. It’s always fun to see how these connections blossom after the show!

The new couple recently shared a peek at their romance, posting photos of themselves jet skiing during a sunny vacation.

Tyrique shared a TikTok video showing him and Samie enjoying a jet ski ride together, where they snuggled up while wearing matching life jackets. Afterwards, they relaxed in the sun, and Tyrique took a photo of Samie lounging on a sunbed.

Samie shared a stunning photo on Instagram, showcasing her figure in a pink bikini worn with a green crop top and skirt.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m always excited to hear about exciting new partnerships! Just before jetting off to Morocco, Samie celebrated her role as the new face of W7 Cosmetics with a lovely private dinner at The Ivy Asia in London. She shared her travel plans with the close group of friends and family – sounds like a dream getaway!

According to a source speaking with the Daily Mail, Samie was thrilled about the trip and shared her plans with everyone. Things are going well for her both professionally and in her personal life.

‘She isn’t listening to outside noise about her new connection and is just seeing where it goes.’

Tyrique and Ella Thomas became a couple while competing on the tenth season of the popular ITV2 dating show, but they ended their relationship in early 2024.

Samie and Tyrique have been going on a lot of dates lately, and their relationship seems to be growing stronger each day.

Tyrique is very enthusiastic about Samie and happy they’re finally together after openly showing his interest in her online. He’d made it clear he liked her long before anyone started talking about them as a couple.

Just a few months before appearing on the show, Tyrique was asked in a video who he’d choose to share a bed with, and he immediately responded, ‘Samie, she’s really attractive.’

Okay, so like, right before the new All Stars season dropped, he finally said it! He admitted he thinks Samie is amazing! He was all, ‘She’s seriously gorgeous.’ And get this – he’s met her! He said he’s seen her at events and she’s just… genuinely cool. I knew it! I knew he had a thing for her, and now it’s out there! I’m so glad he finally acknowledged how incredible she is!
