Samie and Sam: A Love Island/Made in Chelsea Mashup?
Okay, so you guys are *not* going to believe this. Love Island's Samie Elishi – remember her? The gorgeous brunette from season 9 and All Stars – is officially dating Sam Thompson from Made in Chelsea! I know, right? It’s a total reality TV crossover event. Weeks of whispers and speculation finally blew up after photos of them kissing surfaced. Honestly, who saw that coming?
The Kiss That Broke the Internet
The evidence? A seriously steamy smooch outside London's swanky Bacchanalia restaurant. It was Olivia Attwood's 34th birthday bash – a total star-studded affair filled with other familiar faces from the reality TV world. Pete Wicks and Georgia Harrison were even there! Samie looked absolutely stunning in a brown cut-out playsuit. The photos? Viral, obviously. They captured a very intimate moment, confirming all the rumors.
And then there was Samie’s Instagram. A casual post with pics from the party… and a single brown heart emoji. That’s all it took to send the internet into overdrive. Over 23,000 likes and tons of comments flooded in, everyone wishing her well. It was adorable, really.
From DMs to Dinner Dates
Turns out, the romance started brewing weeks before that very public display of affection. It all began with some flirty DMs, apparently. They started following each other on Instagram, liking each other's posts – you know how that goes. The timing is… interesting, given Sam's recent split from Zara McDermott and Samie's past relationship with TOWIE's Harry Lee.
Sam’s been pretty open about being ready to date again after his breakup. He even talked about it on his podcast, "Staying Relevant," with Pete Wicks. He sounded genuinely happy, and it seems this new relationship has really put a smile on his face. His friends are thrilled for him.
Samie's Search for "The One"
Samie’s journey to finding love hasn't been easy. She made it to the final of Love Island 2023 with Tom Clare, but that didn't work out. Same with Harry Lee. Before things got serious with Sam, Samie actually talked about her ideal partner: ambitious, kind, and someone who takes care of themselves. Sam seems to fit the bill, doesn’t he?
A New Beginning?
So, there you have it – Samie Elishi and Sam Thompson, a seemingly unlikely but undeniably adorable couple. Their public kiss and the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction suggest this could be the real deal. While they haven’t officially confirmed anything beyond the undeniable evidence of their actions, it feels like a happy new chapter for both of them. Here's hoping for the best!
