The farrier recently seen getting close to Josie Gibson at Cheltenham is said to be engaged to the mother of his child.

Last week, 41-year-old Josie caused quite a buzz when photos surfaced of her with social media personality Sam Wolfenden while they were both working at a horse racing event for the show ‘This Morning’.

Okay, so there was a lot of buzz about a potential new romance for Big Brother’s Sam, but it looks like he’s actually off the market! I’m hearing he’s engaged to his long-time love, Grace Richardson – they’ve known each other since childhood, which is just lovely! It seems like this is a really special, established relationship, and we’re all sending them congratulations.

It’s thought that the couple, who met at school and got engaged in 2019, share a daughter together.

According to sources, Samuel has been deliberately keeping his romantic life private on social media to cultivate an image as an attractive and desirable farrier.

Sam has gained over 657,000 Instagram followers by posting videos about his daily animal care routine. People quickly started enjoying his content, and many were drawn to his fit appearance.

According to a source, the couple has been together for a long time. Grace is a full-time mother to their daughter and helps run their horseshoeing business. However, he doesn’t post about their relationship on social media.

Sam was told to avoid publicizing his relationships to maintain his reputation as a highly sought-after farrier. His public persona was carefully crafted to present him as a desirable and unattached bachelor.

‘The truth is, he isn’t available. He’s very much taken.’

Grace didn’t respond to questions from the publication, but sources say she confirmed she and Sam are no longer together when asked.

The future bride has posted photos of her fiancé, Sam, and their daughter on Instagram, and previously revealed her engagement ring back in 2019.

Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Sam Wolfenden for comment. 

Josie and Sam first connected in March 2025 when Josie discussed Sam’s online presence with him. They both seemed excited to attend Ladies Day last week.

According to a source, Josie and Sam had a strong connection and were playfully flirtatious during filming. However, their connection became much more noticeable once the cameras were off.

They laughed a lot and seemed completely at ease in each other’s company, staying close throughout.

Last year, Josie shared a warm hug with Sam when he was on This Morning. She seemed a little embarrassed and admitted she’d completely blanked on what she wanted to ask him.

When asked about the popularity of his online videos, Sam explained he was able to share his enthusiasm, which prompted both of them to laugh.

He then added: ‘You don’t see it a lot, I’ve got plenty of jobs in store for you Josie!’ 

Horse farriers take care of horses’ hooves by trimming and fixing them, putting on horseshoes, and correcting any problems with how the hooves grow.

Samuel’s fans, both women and men, can’t help but notice his impressive physique and attractive appearance. He’s quickly become popular on Instagram as a result.

With his tattoos, good looks, and friendly smile, combined with a passion for horses, he’s become incredibly popular online – earning him the title of the world’s first ‘farrier influencer’.

Popular singer Samuel has gained attention from celebrities, including Rylan Clark, who playfully commented on one of his latest videos.

Rylan jokingly expressed surprise and amusement after seeing a video of Samuel flexing his arms while working, saying he never thought he’d be envious of a horse – particularly considering his own teeth.

Samuel has attracted a lot of well-known fans, including filmmaker Taika Waititi, TV personality Josie Gibson, and reality star Gemma Collins.

His many followers also include popular figures like Kaz Crossley, Laura Anderson, and Rebecca Gormley from Love Island, plus rugby player James Haskell.

Besides his posts about horseshoes, Samuel sometimes shares updates on his fitness, including videos of his gym workouts.
