Sam Thompson’s rumoured new girlfriend Talitha Balinska attempts to avoid awkward run-in with his ex Samie Elishi at beauty event

by

Talitha Balinska, who is reportedly dating Sam Thompson, seemed to steer clear of his former girlfriend, Samie Elishi, at a beauty event on Tuesday.

They both attended the UK Boots launch event to show their support for Australian skincare brand, The Breakout Hack.

According to a source at Daily Mail, Talitha and Samie knew some of the same people at the event, but they intentionally didn’t talk to each other.

‘They sat at the same table but avoided conversation for the duration of the dinner.’ 

Talitha has a large following of 163,000 people online. She’s a producer and DJ, and is also represented by Premier Models.

Sources say the pair have gone on multiple dates since meeting last year while working on a photoshoot for Sam’s eyewear company, Dinelli Eyewear.

According to a source, Sam and Talitha have only gone on a few dates, but Sam is already very taken with Talitha, finding her both intelligent and gifted.

Sam and his friend share many interests and have lively conversations. He’s a dedicated worker who also loves to relax and have fun when he’s off the clock.

The Daily Mail have contacted both Sam and Talitha’s representatives for comment. 

I was so sad to read in the Daily Mail back in June that Sam and Samie had broken up after just two months together. Apparently, their romance just kind of lost its spark and fizzled out – it’s always disappointing to hear when a couple doesn’t work out!

Despite their breakup, things are still friendly between the former couple, and they recently reunited at a party in August.

They began dating in April and were seen sharing a passionate kiss after leaving Olivia Attwood’s birthday celebration.

This was Sam’s first public relationship after ending his five-year relationship with Zara McDermott.

Sam’s romantic relationships became a topic of conversation when the One Direction song ‘Steal My Girl’ played during a live recording of his ‘Staying Relevant’ podcast, which he co-hosts with Pete Wicks.

It was a playful reference to his former girlfriend, Zara, who is now dating singer Louis Tomlinson.

Sam was left unimpressed as his best mate played the song during a live recording of the show.

Sam, split from his ex-girlfriend Zara in December and she is now dating Louis.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe what happened at the Staying Relevant show! Pete actually made the house band play ‘Steal My Girl’ by One Direction! I nearly lost it – it was the most amazing, unexpected thing ever! He *knows* how much I love One Direction, right? It felt like he was speaking directly to my soul. Seriously, a perfect moment!

Sam quickly ran onto the stage to interrupt the band’s performance, prompting Pete to exclaim, ‘Oops, I forgot!’

‘I’ll be honest with you, mate, I may have f****d up there. I, I honestly thought that would go in a different direction.’ This prompted laughter from the audience.

‘But don’t worry, it’s fine, we can try again, we can try again. Guys, f*****g hit it.’

Sam was seen on his hands and knees, jokingly cowering in embarrassment.

During the show, Sam shared that he’d been going through a difficult time after his breakup with Zara, and he thanked Pete for supporting him through it.

He described Pete as someone who seems strong and hardened on the outside, but is actually very sensitive and complex underneath – comparing him to an onion with countless layers.

‘Caring, loyal, gentle, angry, but he’s the most supportive, best friend I could ever ask for.’ 

Zara has moved in with her boyfriend, Louis, who lives in a large, expensive house in north London. This move comes after she briefly lived with her parents following her split from Sam and a move out of the home they previously shared.

Sources close to the couple revealed they’ve fallen for each other and Zara has been spending almost all her time at his home, to the point where she’s practically moved in. She’s even begun filming her social media content from his place instead of her family home.

‘She had been back at her family home after her split from her ex…

Since Louis and her parents don’t live close together, it’s understandable that she’s been spending more time at Louis’s place.

Zara and Louis are very much in love and enjoy spending all their free time together. They travelled extensively this summer, and now that they’re back in the UK, Zara often stays at Louis’s place.

The Daily Mail has approached Zara and Louis’ representatives for comment.

Zara and Louis publicly shared their affection on Instagram with a photo of them kissing, and Louis sweetly commented ‘I love you’. Their families seem to approve of the relationship, with Zara’s brother and Louis’ sister both posting supportive comments like ‘beautiful couple’ and ‘love love’.
