On Wednesday, Sam Thompson and his former partner Samie Eilishi shared another pleasant get-together, sneaking away for a quick smoke during the National Television Awards.
In June, it was uncovered that the couple called off their two-month relationship as their connection seemed to dwindle; subsequently, Sam was associated with Stephanie Robinson, an American expert in holistic nutrition.
In my experience as a lifestyle guide, it’s been quite remarkable how cordial our relationship has stayed post-parting. We even managed to share a pleasant reunion at a gathering we attended together just last month.
During this week, the duo reunited once more for the most significant evening in British broadcasting. Thirty-three-year-old Sam took charge of hosting the red carpet events, whereas twenty-five-year-old Samie represented the popular show Love Island, which was up for an award in the reality TV category.
The pair appeared cheerful while engaging in conversation during their smoke break prior to departure, seemingly forgoing the formal post-event gathering.
It marks the second cosy interaction between the pair in a matter of weeks.



Last month, Daily Mail captured footage of Sam, Samie, Lucy Watson (his ex-co-star from Made In Chelsea), and themselves engaged in conversation at the launch party for Rehab’s Rooftop Spa.
According to reports, Sam appeared cheerful while meeting up with Samie during the rehabilitation event. They could be found standing in line for refreshments, engaged in a lively conversation.
He softly touched her arm to confirm she’d taken a sip, and then they both laughed heartily alongside Lucy Watson and her companion.
Throughout the event where Mel C delivered a remarkable performance, sparking dancing among everyone, Samie remained quite close to Sam.
Sam and Samie frequently interacted with other attendees, yet they often found themselves returning to each other. In the end, they both departed simultaneously.
In April, the pair began going out together, and they were observed sharing a fervent kiss following Olivia Attwood’s birthday celebration.
Sam had his initial public romance after parting ways with Zara McDermott, his girlfriend for five years. Now, Zara is in a relationship with the former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson.
Currently, it’s widely speculated that he is romantically involved with Steph, an influential figure in the realm of wellness and nutrition who offers advice to her 170,000 TikTok followers.





A source told Daily Mail: ‘Sam and Steph have been on a date and are getting to know each other.
They made contact via a common acquaintance and immediately arranged an in-person meeting since Steph often doesn’t stay long in town.
Steph, being a content creator, often journeys extensively for work, but right now, she’s enjoying an extended stay in London, which seems particularly timely.
‘Sam seems to be thoroughly enjoying his bachelor lifestyle, socializing whenever he’s not at work, and exploring new experiences.’
News about his latest romantic involvement surfaced only two weeks following the alleged ending of his relationship with Samie, seemingly due to their overwhelming work commitments.
According to a source, the relationship between Sam and Samie simply cooled off. Initially, they had strong mutual attraction, but their demanding schedules often prevented them from enjoying quality moments together.
For Sam, after parting ways with Zara, this was his initial romantic involvement. He seems to prefer focusing on his job rather than entering into another prolonged dedication at the moment.


In July, Sam openly shared during a chat with friend Pete on the podcast “Staying Relevant,” that he’s not prepared to start dating again yet. He mentioned that his friend Louise believes he should consider going out with Emma Watson, who is renowned for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series.
Laughing, Pete replied: ‘I think you have more chance with the ginger fella’.
As an ardent admirer, let me share some thoughts that have been buzzing in my mind, Ron. Louise suggested I might benefit from venturing into the realm of British Thespian, given its distinctive and refined essence – though ‘classy’ isn’t quite the term. Instead, it’s about carrying an air of sophistication or affluence.
Pete joked: ‘Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.’
Affirmatively stating his intentions, Sam made it clear that he will abstain from dating at present: “Yes, I plan to focus on self-improvement instead. I’m not in the mood for dating right now, and I’ve come to understand that I’m not quite ready yet.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this heartbreaking news that Sam and Zara, who had been inseparable for five incredible years, decided to part ways on New Year’s Day. It seems their holiday season was a bit too apart this time around, which led to this heart-wrenching split.
Over time, Zara developed a particularly strong bond with her ex-boyfriend’s family since her fiancé Ryan, along with Louise and their three-year-old son Leo, reside just next door to Sam in the western part of London.
Initially seen with musician Louis in March, the ex-contestant of Love Island who transitioned into documentarian has spent time with this partner in both Los Angeles and Costa Rica, indicating their travel escapades together since then.
