Sam Thompson Spotted Holding Hands With Sami Elishi After Zara McDermott Split
In a touching, affectionate instance, Sam Thompson was captured on camera holding hands with his new partner, Sami Elishi.
32-year-old television personality spent an enjoyable evening at friend Olivia Attwood’s gathering, accompanied by his budding romantic partner, aged 25. At this event, they publicly acknowledged their relationship.
At the 34th birthday party of reality TV personality Olivia, held in Mayfair on a Saturday evening, her fellow Love Island star, Gabby Allen, snapped a precious moment shared by Sami.
At Olivia’s party, it seemed like Sam was thoroughly enjoying himself, and he even popped up in a Snapchat story, dancing along in a conga line.
Sam’s latest relationship started following the news that his former partner, Zara McDermott, aged 28, was in a relationship with One Direction member Louis Tomlinson, who is 33 years old.
Sam and Zara, who ended their relationship back in December, were once adored by many due to the transparency they provided about their romantic journey through their online posts.


Similar to Zara, Sami has been a contestant on Love Island in the past and admitted that she’s been seeking true love since she didn’t manage to establish a long-term relationship during her time on the show.
She shared with The Sun her sentiment that she prefers being in relationships, and having a partner would be pleasant for her at some point, as nobody enjoys solitude.
On one hand, I enjoy my solitude, cherishing my relationships with women; on the other, I appreciate having both experiences. Deep down, I consider myself someone who prefers being in relationships.
Sami took care to emphasize that she was genuinely content with her life, regardless of the absence of a romantic partner.
Reflecting on the conclusion of their relationship in December, Sam and Zara stated that it was the culmination of a particularly challenging year for them.
After their breakup, Sam seemed to make a jab at Zara, who became well-known on Love Island, by expressing his desire to enter the villa himself, stating that he ‘would enjoy’ spending time there.

For five years, Sam and Zara shared a life together, residing under the same roof prior to their separation. They often provided fans with glimpses of their domestic world through engaging video posts.
Instead, it’s reported that they had ceased living together prior to when news about the dissolution of their relationship surfaced.
Based on reports, it seems that no scandalous event or romantic entanglement was at play this time; instead, their connection naturally reached an end.
According to a source, OK! Magazine reports that even though Sam and Zara have acknowledged their relationship is finished for some time now, they’re both deeply saddened and sorrowful because they were unable to keep their romance alive.
‘They had so much love for each other.’
