Sam Thompson and his girlfriend, Talitha Balinska, seemed more in love than ever while spending time with his sister, Louise.

People say 33-year-old podcaster Sam and his 25-year-old girlfriend, Talitha, are very close. They were introduced by Sam’s friend and former co-star on the show Made In Chelsea, Reza Amiri-Garroussi.

Just yesterday, Louise Thompson, 35, from Made In Chelsea shared photos with her followers of their fun Halloween weekend.

Louise and her four-year-old son, Leo, posed with a happy Sam next to the beautiful display, enjoying roasted marshmallows.

The TV star shared that they didn’t just do that over the weekend – they also visited a pumpkin patch to pick and carve pumpkins.

Sam and the content creator initially connected in 2023 on a photoshoot for Dinelli, Sam and Reza’s sunglasses line. Talitha was the model for the campaign, but Sam was dating Zara McDermott at the time.

Talitha and Sam recently rekindled their relationship after a surprising reunion. Talitha was invited as a guest to Sam’s sold-out live show at London’s O2 Arena, and according to one source, things quickly progressed from there.

By introducing Talitha to his sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan, and young nephew Leo, Sam showed how serious he was about their relationship.

The previous champion is sure to want to make a good impression on Talitha’s famous family.

According to a source, Sam and Talitha have fallen for each other. They didn’t say much when they first met in 2023, but their friends immediately sensed a connection.

Reza was a great friend to Sam as he healed, and including Talitha in his O2 show was a thoughtful thing to do.

After getting back in touch after the podcast, things quickly fell into place. Sam’s friends are happy to see him doing well again, especially after a difficult six months following his breakup with Zara.

Sam is very family-oriented, so he’s thrilled to introduce his girlfriend to his family. Talitha has already gotten to know his siblings, Louise, Ryan, and Leo, which is a significant milestone for their relationship.

Talitha is a stunning woman with an interesting family background. Her half-sister is a Hollywood actress, and her father, Count Balinski-Jundzill, is married to model Sophie Anderton. Her connections and lifestyle certainly fit the upscale Chelsea scene.

Sam is dating Talitha, the daughter of Kaz Balinski, a Polish aristocrat who works in the oil industry, and his former wife, Vanessa Balinska.

She has three siblings, one of whom is actress Ella. Ella previously appeared alongside Kirsten Dunst in the 2019 film, Charlie’s Angels.

Kaz was married to TV chef Lorraine Pascale before they divorced in 2000. More recently, in 2023, he married Sophie, who is known from reality TV shows like Love Island, I’m A Celebrity, and Celebrity Big Brother.

After ending his relationship with Zara late last year, Sam briefly dated Samie Elishi, who appeared on Love Island, but their romance didn’t last long.

Zara is now dating Louis Tomlinson from the band One Direction. He recently shared in a podcast that he’s ‘very much in love’ with her.

Zara and Louis were first seen together in March, and have since been photographed sharing intimate moments. Zara often travels with Louis to support him and his work as a musician.

Sam has been joking about Zara’s relationship with Louis, even playfully performing One Direction’s “Steal My Girl” during his recent concert at the O2, which was attended by 17,000 people.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned that breakups can really ripple through friendships, and that seems to be the case here. Zara and Sam’s sister, Louise – who happens to be their next-door neighbor – used to be quite close, but I’m hearing they’re no longer on speaking terms since Sam and Zara split up. It’s a sad reminder of how relationships can change everything.

Sam and Zara split up about a year after Sam won ‘I’m A Celebrity,’ which led to him having a much busier work life.
